"X" transport position
Important:
To prevent damage to the lift cylinder,
make sure that the actuators are fully retracted
before transporting the machine.
Using the Boom-Section Transport
Cradle
The sprayer is equipped with boom-section transport
cradles that have a unique feature. In the event
the spray section accidentally contacts with a low
overhead object while in the transport position, you
can push the spray section(s) out of the transport
cradles. If this occurs, the spray sections come to
rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the
machine. While this movement will not damage the
spray sections, they should be immediately positioned
into the transport cradle.
Important:
The spray sections can be damaged
by transporting them in any position other
than the "X" transport position using the boom
transport cradle.
To put the outer spray sections back into the transport
cradle, lower the spray section(s) to the spray position
and then raise the spray section(s) back to the
transport position. Make sure that the lift cylinders are
fully retracted to prevent damaging the actuator rod.
Taking Proper Turf
Care Precautions while
Operating in Stationary
Modes
Important:
Under some conditions, heat from the
engine, radiator, and muffler can damage grass
when operating the sprayer in a stationary mode.
Stationary modes include tank agitation, hand
spraying with a spray gun, or using a walking
boom.
Use the following precautions:
•
Avoid stationary spraying when conditions are
very hot and/or dry, as turf can be more stressed
during these periods.
•
Avoid parking on the turf while stationary spraying.
g239336 Park on a cart path whenever possible.
•
Minimize the amount of time the machine is left
running over any particular area of turf. Both time
and temperature affect how much the grass may
be damaged.
•
Set the engine speed as low as possible to
achieve the desired pressure and flow. This
minimizes the heat generated and the air velocity
from the cooling fan.
•
Allow heat to escape upward from the engine
compartment by raising the seat assemblies during
stationary operation rather than being forced out
under the vehicle.

Spraying Tips

•
Do not overlap areas that you have previously
sprayed.
•
Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or
damaged nozzles.
•
Use the master section switch to stop the spray
flow before stopping the sprayer. Once it stops,
use the engine-throttle control to hold the engine
speed up to keep the agitation running.
•
You will obtain better results if the sprayer is
moving when you turn the spray sections on.

Unclogging a Nozzle

If a nozzle becomes clogged while you are spraying,
clean the nozzle as follows:
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, shut off the
engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Set the master section switch to the O
and then set the sprayer-pump switch to the
O position.
