Refer to page 25 of this manual for instructions on
the boom controls to set and control the boom
height.
The MacDon Field Sprayer is supplied with
o
standard 80
nozzle tips with spacing between
nozzles of 20 inches (50 cm). The ideal vertical
distance the operator wishes to keep the nozzles
from the target plant is 20 in. (50 cm). Therefore, if
the operator wishes to apply chemical to plants
that are 8 in. (20 cm) tall, the boom must be kept
at a height of the sum of the plant height plus the
20 in. (50 cm) distance which is equal to 28 in. (70
cm).
NOTE:
If the operator chooses to install
nozzles
with
different
MacDon Field Sprayer, the operator should refer to
the manufacturer of the nozzles for directions for
setting the boom height during application.
NOTE: If your sprayer is equipped with the
front center boom section, mechanically adjust the
height of the front boom section to correspond with
the left and right boom height (refer to "Center
Boom Positioning" in this manual).
The green arrow and green dash marks on the
boom height indicator decal on each mast indicate
the height of the boom from the ground.
actual height of the boom from the ground is
indicated on the height indicator in 5-inch
increments. Select the boom height by lowering
each boom until the green arrow on the boom is
positioned across from the green dash at the
desired height from the ground and target.
