LX-MB LX-HB The MB spray boom (10 or 12 metre) or the HB spray boom (12, 15, 16 or 18 metre) is fitted. The boom is supported by a trapeze which protects the boom against vibrations and shocks when driving on uneven ground.
Connecting the sprayer The sprayer is designed for three point suspension and is equipped with 28 mm pivots (category II). On 600 litre 120mm model, 22 mm (category I) pivots are fitted. On models 800, 1000 and 1200 l the pivot position can be altered 120 mm.

It is important for the personal safety of the operator that the transmission shaft is intact. The protection guards must cover the whole shaft. This includes the universal cross covers at each end of the shaft. The chains are con- nected so that the protection guards do not rotate with the shaft.
Operating instructions Operation of the MB boom Remove boom transport lock pins A. When unfolding (or folding) the initial force to release the spring loaded breakaways will be higher than the actual unfolding/folding. CAUTION: The breakaways must be correctly tensioned and lubri- cated.
Operation of the HB boom ➀ Remove the transport safety wire ( ) and unfold the intermediate part. Fold arm down to tighten wire. ➁ Lift spring-loaded lock. ➂ Turn the lock 90°. √ Lock the intermediate and central parts. ➄...
Operation of trapeze The trapeze suspension must be correctly adjusted and regularly lubricated, if it is going to operate satisfactorily. The primary function of the suspension is to protect the boom against vibrations and shocks. It also helps maintain it a uniform height above the target.
2. Turn main on/off handle 2 to spraying position A. 3. Set all hand levers 3 on the distribution valve to spraying position A. 4. Turn the HARDI-MATIC valve 6 anti-clockwise to its extreme position. 5. Turn the safety valve 1 clockwise to maximum pressure.
Adjust the HARDI-MATIC valve 6 so that the pressure gauge indicates the recommended pressure. ADJUST THE PRESSURE EQUALIZATION SECTIONS AS FOL- LOWS: 7. Note the pressure and place the first lever 3 on the distribution valve in position B (off position).
Maintenance In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many years the following few but important rules should be kept: Cleaning the sprayer - see Spray Technique book. Filters Clean filters ensure : • Sprayer components such as valves, diaphragms and operating unit are not hindered or damaged during operation.

Re-adjustment of the boom After having used the sprayer for some days the boom should be adjusted as follows: When adjusting the sprayer must be on level ground with unfolded boom. For MB booms - Remove the lock pin for trapeze. Boom breakaway The function of the breaka- way is to prevent or reduce...

Boom lift. The boom lift should be ad- justed so the boom can freely move up and down when the lift cylinder is actuated. Do not tighten so much that the lift cannot work unhindered. For MB boom - Adjust D so the space E is about equal at all 4 points.
Changing of valves and diaphragms Valves Dismantle valve compartment 1. Before changing the valves 2 note the orientation of the valves so that they may be replaced correctly. Important: For model 361 one special valve with red flap 2A is to be placed in the valve opening shown.
Changing of ball seat in operating unit If problems with on/off valve occurs (dripping nozzles when on/off valve is closed), the ball and ball seat should be checked. Remove the 2 bolts fixing the on/off-pressure valve unit to the bracket, unscrew the union nut A and pull the on/ off-pressure valve away from the distribution valves.
Level indicator Depending on products used, it can become difficult to see the red sphere inside the level indicator tube. Note that the tube can be replaced when necessary. Off-season storage When the spraying season is over you should devote some extra time to the sprayer before it is stored.
Transmission shaft Check that the transmission shaft fulfills its security purpose, e.g. that shields and protective tubes are intact. Anti-freeze precaution If the sprayer is not stored in a frost- proof place you should take the following precautions: Put at least 10 litres of 33% anti-freeze mixture in the tank and let the pump run a few minutes so that the entire system including spray hose are filled.
