Adjusting Equalizer Cables

Equalizer cables work together to keep floating frame square to stationary frame, while folding boom in for transport or when spraying with one side raised and folded.

1. Fold boom into transport position.

2. Check that leveling cylinders are COMPLETELY RETRACTED. Adjust if necessary.

3. Loosen jam nuts (A).

IMPORTANT: Alternate from side-to-side while making adjustments. Adjust one cable a small amount, and then the other, to equalize cable tension and maintain level center frame.

DO NOT overtighten cables. Adjust tension until Belleville washers just start to compress, not beyond.

4. Alternating from side-to-side, tighten adjustment nuts (B) so floating frame is square with stationary frame and Belleville washers (C) just start to compress. Properly adjusted cables (D) will be very tight and only deflect a small amount (fractions of an inch) when pulled on by hand.

5. Tighten jam nuts.

6. Unfold boom to operating (spraying) position.

7. Fold boom and check that floating frame remains square to stationary frame while folding.
