5 Nozzle Boom Assembly for ATV Mounting
1. Attach the tank mount brackets and the boom mounting
brackets to the tank with the hardware provided.
2. Center the center boom tube on the boom mounts and
secure in place with the (2) u-bolts and whiz locknuts. Be
sure that the outer booms will fold backwards. The boom
should be about 18" above the ground.
3. Attach the nozzle harness assembly to the boom. The
clamps should snap over the tubes so that the center and
end nozzles are on the back side. The nozzles located
close to the hinge should be on the front side of the tube.
This will help prevent the hoses from kinking when the end
booms are folded. The end booms should fold to the rear.
4. Join the 48" hose to the tee barb. Then clamp in place with
a hose clamp.
5. Thread the fittings together as shown using a good grade
of thread sealant to prevent leaking.
OPERATION AND CALIBRATION
The performance of any agricultural chemical depends upon
the proper application of the correct amount. Be sure that
your equipment has been calibrated before spraying.
The nozzles on the boom will spray a 110" wide pattern
swath, however it is necessary to overlap patterns 30% to
get proper coverages. The first pass will only cover 90" of
overlapped spray. Each pass there after will provide a 100"
swath of proper coverage. The proper nozzle height is 18
inches above the object being sprayed.
• Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per
acre, gallons per 1000 square feet, or gallons per 100
square feet. You will note that the tip chart shows all three
of these rating systems.
• Four things must be considered before spraying with the
boom.
1. How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.
2. Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
3. What pressure (P.S.I.) will be used.
4. Speed traveled (M.P.H.) while spraying.
