(3-1/4 inch).
4. Insert the bolts through the hinged welded tube
openings, hinges, and straps (Figure 3).

6. Install a spring on the end of each bolt (Figure 3).
7. Install a flat washer and a locknut on the end of each
bolt, and tighten the locknuts until there is no slack

Preparing the Booms
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Hydraulic manifold block
4
Hydraulic fitting
Procedure
The booms are set at the factory to travel downward no
farther than the horizontal position. To enable the ultrasonic
boom kit to maintain a consistent distance between the
nozzles and the ground when the ground slopes downward
from the machine, you must adjust the boom support system
to allow the booms to travel below the horizontal position in
order to maintain a constant nozzle-to-ground distance.
1. Raise the booms and have them rest in the transport
cradle.
2. For each boom, remove the hairpin cotter and pull out
the pin from the rod to disconnect the rod from the
boom pivot pin housing (Figure 4).
Note: There should be no more than 16 mm (5/8
inch) of exposed thread on the eyelet to prevent the
engaged threads from stripping and the rod from
pulling away.
