Spray Boom

Safety Info

Keep the spray boom in folded position while driving outside the field. Park the sprayer and tractor on level ground before
using the folding/unfolding functions. The boom must not be folded/unfolded while driving! Never use the
folding/unfolding functions before the sprayer has been stopped!
Failure to do so will damage the boom and cause dangerous situations to people and the surroundings.
DANGER! Before unfolding the boom, it is important to connect the sprayer to the tractor to prevent overbalancing
of the sprayer.
DANGER! When folding or unfolding the boom, make sure that no persons or objects are within the operating area
of the boom.
DANGER! Always follow the guidelines listed below when driving in areas with overhead power lines:
Keep from using the folding/unfolding functions in areas with overhead
power lines. Unintended boom movements may cause contact with
overhead power lines, causing a risk of fatal accidents.
ATTENTION! A label (HARDI® item no. 10533003) is located on the
sprayer's drawbar. This label must be visible to the operator when
hooking up the sprayer.
