Attaching Drop Nozzles at Remote Locations

Use the following instructions to install hose drops directly to the boom framework when the desired hose drop spacing does not match the spray nozzle spacing.

CAUTION: Spray system can contain hazardous material that can cause serious injury or death to you or others. Wear protective clothing, eyewear and gloves while attaching nozzle drops.

1. Starting at center boom section, determine desired hose drop locations and mark locations on boom.

Due to possible interference with boom frame structure, some hose drops will have to be moved slightly inward or outward from the desired (marked) location.

NOTE: Hose drop clamp size and style is determined by where clamp will be positioned on boom.

Center section and inner sections of boom require 38.1 mm (1-1/2 in.) clamps. Outer sections require 25.4 mm (1 in.) clamps. Breakaway sections require 19 mm (3/4 in.) clamps.

Hose drops must be attached to boom with the special clamps and hose clamps at the following locations: behind boom bumper pad, near the stop bolt and at two locations on center section.

2. Assemble 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) hose elbow (A) and clamps (B) and attach to boom tubing with screw (C). Position barb on hose elbow toward the spray nozzle to which it will be attached.

If hose drops are located in areas (A) between locations (C) (584 mm [23 in.] from centerline) and locations (B) (813 mm [32 in.] from center line), or behind boom bumper pad or near the stop bolt, assemble hose elbow (D) and special clamps (E) and attach to boom with hose clamp (F).

NOTE: Install hose clamp (F) as shown in drawing.

3. Install double nozzle body (A) to threaded end of hose drop (B). Insert spray tips or blank disks (C) into threaded nozzle caps (D) and assemble caps to double body.

4. Attach hose drop assembly with Viton gasket to elbow (E).

5. Insert hose barb (F) and Viton seal (G) into cap (H) and attach to nozzle body (I).

NOTE: Lubricate hose ID with soapy water for ease of installation.

6. Attach one end of 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) hose (J) to hose elbow (E) with hose clamp (K).

7. Route hose to hose barb on nozzle body. Allow enough slack to prevent hose kinking. Cut hose and attach to hose barb with hose clamp. Install tie bands as needed.

NOTE: Some hose drop locations will require the 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) hose to span across a boom fold joint or the breakaway hinge. To determine the required length of the 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) hose, operate the boom folding/unfolding and the breakaway wing to be sure the hose will be long enough before cutting.

8. Repeat steps 3-7 for all nozzle bodies.
