Adjusting The Boom Suspension
The boom suspension system has to be adjusted to the field conditions.
As delivered from the factory, the boom suspension is not fitted with springs. This is the recommended adjustment to work with the sprayer on flat fields.
For working on hilly fields (more than 5% slope) a special kit with two compression springs is delivered with the sprayer.
The two springs (A) need to be fitted between the swivel arm (B) and the square frame (C). Unscrew the M-12 bolts on the holders (D) at the outer ends of the square frame and remove the retaining strip (E). Put the spring (on both sides) between the disc (F) and the holder (D) and secure it with the strip (E) and bolt. With these compression springs fitted into the boom suspension system, the spray boom will follow the slope better, without having to operate the boom tilt correction continuously.
