    SAFETY The purpose of this manual is to guide you in operating the 120ft boom. Please be sure to read this man- ual along with the sprayer’s manual and all other manuals that are included with the machine. This man- ual is only intended to cover the 120ft boom attachment and any differences in the operation of the sprayer’s controls.

  • Page 12 SAFETY Oil Over Air Scenarios Initially when a new cylinder is run on the ma- chine, it should NEVER be connected to the booms on both ends. Only one end should be connected and then the air should be bled out of the cylinder by acti- vating the cylinder in both directions to completion at least two times.
  • Page 13 SAFETY FIG. 1.5-3 Cold Oil Scenarios If the oil temperature is less then 50° F, the opera- tor could experience some significant control loss on the 90ft fold cylinders. These cylinders are the main cylinders affected by over-running loads (see figure) due to the weight rotation of the boom during fold in/ out situations.

  • Page 22 120 Boom Page Machines with the 120ft boom option installed have a specific page (A) that is the main control for roll functions of the Norac system and that shows the status of the various sensors. To get to this page use the DOWN ARROW button to scroll through the pages.
  • Page 23 The right and left level cylinders must also be within range to cradle the booms. If the cylinders are not within the given range, the green light immedi- ately right of the range specifications will not be lit (A). If the light is not illuminated and the main horizontal extension button is pushed a message will appear reminding the operator to raise the level cylinders to within the specific range (B).
  • Page 24 Spray Position Warning This warning is similar to the warning that ap- pears at start-up in that they both indicate that the main break-away cylinder needs to cycle. This one however, will appear anytime the boom moves too far out past the spray position. If the lights next to the LPS3 and LPS6 are lit, this message should not ap- pear.
  • Page 25 90ft Boom Fold Warning This warning (A) is to alert the operator that the booms are not high enough to prevent damage during the folding/unfolding of the 90ft extension. The 120ft extension protrudes past the end of the 90 ft extension (B) and could scrape the ground if the booms are not above 6.75 inches when the function is performed.

  • Page 30 THE BOOM 90/120ft Break-Away There is a hydraulic break-away at the 90/120ft fold section. The break-away provides protection to the boom by allowing the boom to fold if it were to come into contact with another object. Highway Lights The work lights that are located on the quick mounts for a 90ft or 100ft boom are mounted onto the 120ft boom.
