- Page 2 (4) Loosen hardware for the yellow transport stands that are attaching the upper boom to the lower boom. Place suitable lifting device under the boom, remove the mounting hardware. Note some of the transport brackets picture on this page and next have not been painted yellow.
- Page 3 (7) Reverse the WEEDit unit (or very carefully take outer boom to the unit) to connect the booms together. Remove half of the bolts to make joining easier. The bolts may need to be loose to assist with alignment of holes. (8) Join boom together.
- Page 4 (9) Fit all nuts and washers, adjust top outer bolts first to get 1000mm spacing between the centre lines of the cameras at the join point. Start with these 2 first (10) Fit outer castor wheels while outer boom is supported by the forklift. Position as per the diagram below, and is the same for 36, 32 or 30m boom.
- Page 5 (12) Adjust all 4 lower bolts to get the boom parallel to the ground at the join point. Tension all nuts to 800Nm. (13) Remove yellow inner pivot brace. Remember to return all “Yellow” Transport kit components, including nuts, bolts and washers to Croplands for credit. Page 5 of 10 BT-OMWEED-TRANS (V3B)
- Page 6 Place all hardware and plates in the red crate in preparation for return to Croplands along with all “Yellow” items. Collect and pack all “Yellow” items for return. See the transport kit guide. (14) Connect all spray lines (spot, blanket (if applicable) and fence line) and all WEED-IT / electrical connections between the main boom and tip sections.
- Page 7 (15) Fit boom bumper bars. The Horizontal bar is fitted to the left hand boom, and the 3 single arms are fitted to the right hand boom. Preferred position for 36m boom is now on the intermediate arm (as shown at bottom). Shorter booms will require mounting on the inner arm.
- Page 8 (16) Fit and connect all controllers to the tractor as per the operator’s manuals supplied with each controller. (17) Connect all electrical and hydraulic fittings between the tractor and WEEDit unit. (18) Adjust WEEDit chassis air bags if fitted. (19) Adjust all boom tyre pressures to 15 psi (20) Before inflating air shockers, the boom wheel MUST be raised clear of the ground to do this, add 80 psi to all shockers, use the quick start folding guide to fold the boom out to the working position and drain air evenly from both shockers to achieve a camera working height of 1100 mm.
- Page 9 (22) The boom steering wheel bolts will require adjustment. The wheels should have a small amount of toe out when travelling forward to keep the booms apart when cornering. Set the boom to the transport position and drive forward slowly, there should be a minimum of 200 mm clearance between the bash bars, rotate the top steer wheel stop bolt out to increase the clearance between the boom “bumper”...
- Page 10 (23) Adjust the drawbar to achieve 1100mm camera height on the central cameras – as a guide, the main chassis sits approximately 6 degrees nose down from horizontal, and the upright tank supports are 90 degrees from horizontal, when correctly adjusted. Use a spirit level to get tank level bar horizontal.
