Hitching or unhitching the trailed sprayer Hitching unhitching trailed sprayer When hitching on or off adhere to the safety advice. Before hitching the trailed sprayer secure against unintended rolling by applying the parking brake or by using chocks. For transport secure chocks in the pockets on the frame side by using springs.

Hitching or unhitching the trailed sprayer 5.1.1.1 True track following draw bar and Uni- versal tracking draw bar On the UG 3000 the use of the true track following draw bar and universal tracking draw bar (in their track following position) are only permissible in conjunction with a chassis equipped with air assisted brakes.
Hitching or unhitching the trailed sprayer Dual circuit air brake system Coupling up Coupling of the air brake system (if available) to tractor: Coupling claw - yellow - to brake hose. - Coupling claw - red - to secondary hose. Before coupling check cleanness of cou- pling claws and ensure correct catching.
Hitching or unhitching the trailed sprayer Uncoupling The trailed sprayer should only be uncou- pled and parked with an empty tank on level ground (to prevent any danger of tipping over). Before uncoupling the trailed sprayer secure against unintended rolling using the two chocks (Fig.

If this is not the case, fold out the boom, unlock the swing compensation and align the boom via the counter weights (8.23/1).

Sprayer booms 8.1.4.8 Electric boom tilting (Special option) Actuation from the switch box SKS 501 – 901 (Fig. 8.13-13) In unfavourable terrain conditions the alignment of the sprayer booms with the area to be treated can be corrected by the electric boom tilt kit and without in- fluencing the swing compensation.
Sprayer booms 8.1.5 Q-plus-boom with Profi-folding (Special option) The profi-folding offers the following functions: • Folding in / folding out, • One-sided boom folding, • Hydraulic height adjustment, • Hydraulic boom tilting. • Locking of the swing compensation. All hydraulic functions are controlled by solenoid valves via the switch box (SKS) from tractor cab.

Sprayer booms 8.1.5.5 Operation with asymmetrically folded out booms Only operate with the swing compensa- tion locked. Lock the swing compensa- tion before folding one side in or out so that the boom will not lean over one way. Avoid an unstable oscillation and any ground contact with the boom while the swing compensation is locked, because in this case an even lateral spray distri-...

Sprayer booms 8.2.1.6 Boom folding speed These speeds are factory set. However, depending on the tractor type it might be necessary to adjust these settings. The boom folding speed of the folded in boom packs can be set on the throttle valves (8.45/2, 8.45/3, 8.46/1 and 8.46/2) by equally screw- ing in or out the corresponding Allen key headed set screw as follows:...

Sprayer booms 8.2.1.7 Alignment of the folded out boom paral- lel with the ground level The sprayer boom, when folded out should be paral- lel with the ground and then all spraying nozzles should have the same parallel distance to the ground. If this is not the case, fold out the boom, unlock the swing compensation and align the boom via the counter weights (8.47/1).
Sprayer booms Boom alignment via the boom tilt adjustment For tilting the unfolded booms turn the setting knob (8.49/2). The individual points on the scale represent pre-determined angle of boom tilt. The horizontal position of the boom can be set from any boom tilting position by readjust- ing the setting knob to "0".

Sprayer booms Required on tractor: • 1 single acting control valve for connect- ing to the pressure hose. • 1 pressure-free return flow for connecting to the return flow hose. During road transport switch off the oil supply to the valve block. The oil filter (8.50/1), on the right hand side of the boom near the hydraulic valve block is pro- vided with a pollution display (8.50/2).
