Secure the lock pin assembly with cotter pin (#21) between the washer and bracket. Make sure pin moves in and out freely and rotates down into the "latch out" position easily.
3. Before mounting the boom carrier to the main frame assembly, mount the UHMW wear pads (#15) to the boom carrier (#13) and boom carrier brackets (#14) using sixteen 1/4" x 1" flathead screws (#16) and sixteen 1/4" locknuts (#17).
4. Now place the boom carrier (#13) on to the main frame assembly (#1) so that the lock pins are in the holes of the main frame. Loosely mount the boom carrier brackets (#14) to the boom carrier (#13) using eight 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts (#2), six 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts (#18), fourteen 3/8" flatwashers (#3) and fourteen 3/8" locknuts (#5).
5. Slide the hydraulic cylinder (#7) clevis end down through the large hole in the top of the main frame assembly (#1). The hole is slotted so the cylinder inlet can be maneuvered through. Slide one mounting ear bracket (#6) onto each peg on the cylinder, align over holes in the main frame top and secure the mounting ears with four 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts (#2) and four 3/8" locknuts (#5).
6. Attach the bottom lift bracket and back-up plate (#27&28) to the center of the boom carrier (#13) with four 3/8" x 2-1/4" bolts (#26) and four 3/8" locknuts (#5). The hole in the lift bracket (#28) is offset and the hole must go towards the bottom for total adjust­ment. Compress the cylinder and attach the cylinder clevis to the lift bracket with one 1/2" x 2" bolt (#12) through the 1/2" I.D. x 5/8" lg. bushing (#29) and one 1/2" locknut. See page 9 for adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
After the boom is completely assembled and before attempting to fold the boom for the first time, the boom should be adjusted so it lays straight both horizontally and vertically. There are several ad­justment points built into the boom for this purpose.
1.All adjustments must be done with the boom unfolded and latched. Begin by adjusting the right and left boom carrier brackets (#13 & 14 on page 4). Adjust the brackets (#13 or 14) forward or backward against the top tube of the boom center section so as to act as a guide for the center section to keep it straight up and down, not tilting forward or backwards. When the auto-level sway control brackets are adjusted and tight­ened, the 1/2" x 4-1/2" bolt through the top of the sway guide can be adjusted to snug the bracket against the rear side of the top of the center section tube. This adjustment should not restrict the side to side sway of the boom but be enough to dampen it and support the boom from exces­sive rear forces.
3.The wings on either side must be adjusted hori­zontally by moving the linkage mounting plate (#10 on pages 5 & 6) up or down on the inner hinge to get the wing level.
4.The outer breakaway hinge can be adjusted for breakaway tension by tightening or loosening the 1/2" locknut (#16 on page 7). You may have to adjust the lock collar down to get more spring compression. The outer wings should be set to breakaway after a 50 lb force or better is applied to the wing tips. The springs should not be compressed more than 3-1/4 inches.
6.After the boom is setup and the storage brackets are placed in their approximate location final adjustments can be made by folding the boom, in the proper procedure (see page 10), slide the storage brackets into the exact location when the wings are folded and tighten in place.
7.If your flotation boom is equipped with a manual or hydraulic height adjuster the following adjust­ments must be made. Adjust the boom carrier brackets inwards by tightening the 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts that protrude sideways out through the carrier bracket and the boom carrier, when these brackets are snug on the height adjust tubes tighten the 3/8" x 1-1/4" to lock these plates tight against the boom carrier. Make sure the assem­bly slides up and down freely on the tubes. After this is done adjust the height adjust lock pin brackets. Carefully raise or lower the boom carrier so the lock pins are lined up with holes in the upright tube. Securely block the carrier at this level and adjust the latch pin brackets so the pin will latch securely and easily in the holes in the upright tubes. Tighten the 1/2" bolts holding these lock brackets securely and make sure the pins are securely seated in the holes before removing the blocks.
Note: Always make sure the lock pins are securely locked after any type of height ad­justment or before any work is done on the boom.
8.Make sure all fasteners are tight or at the proper tension, and hoses are not in the path of any folding procedures.
5.At this time the latches should be adjusted at each hinge so the wings will be locked securely after unfolding. There are 1/2" bolts at each hinge point that act as a stop. These stop bolts must be adjusted in or out to straighten the lay of the boom. After these bolts are adjusted, the tee bolt in the clevis end of the latch should be adjusted to securely latch each wing. It is important that the latch locks over-center otherwise there will be problems with it coming unlocked. If adjustment is required with the latch not locking over-center you must grind or file down the latch stop which will then let the latch go over-center and lock securely.
Page 9
ADJUSTMENTS FOR FOLDING AND STORAGE
If the boom is adjusted correctly it should fold and store very easily . It is important to lock the sway control in its storage position before beginning the folding procedures. If the boom has hydraulic wing tip leveling, it is important not to operate these cylinders after the wings are folded as damage may result to the boom.
1. Begin the folding operation at the left side (stand­ing behind the boom looking forward) (1st Fold) of the boom. Unlock the latch and fold the outer wing into the storage bracket and lock in place with pin. Make sure at this time and at every folding and unfolding operation that the hoses and tips do not interfere or bind around any corners. During all folding operations you must support the wings until they are in the storage brackets, otherwise extreme twisting forces will be created and possibly damage or twist the boom.
2. Next unlock the latch on the inner left wing (2nd fold) and pull the outer left wing and the inner left wing back and around to fold to the rear of the center section and into the storage bracket and lock in place with pin.
3. On the right side outer wing unlock the latch between the inner and outer right wing. Fold the outer right wing to the front of the inner right wing (3rd fold) and into the storage bracket and lock in place with pin.
4. Finally unlock the latch between the center section and inner right wing. (4th fold) Fold the inner right wing and outer right wing back and around to fold to the rear of the center section and into the storage bracket and lock in place with pin. At this time the boom is completely folded and ready for transport.
MAKE SURE ALL PINS ARE LOCKED IN PLACE WITH HAIR PINS.
CHECK ALL HOSES AND TIPS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT INTERFERING OR HUNG UP ON ANY HINGES OR BOLTS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE HYDRAULIC WING TIP LEVELING WHEN THE BOOM IS FOLDED (if
equipped).

Your Flotation Boom is designed to require only occasional light maintenance. Atten­tion to the following procedures will signifi­cantly prolong the useful life of your boom.
1.Prior to each use, carefully check all nuts, bolts, fittings, plugs, hoses and hose clamps to see that they are secure.
2.Check the latches to make sure that they are not coming loose or worn. This must be done daily to prolong their useful life.
3.All Grease Zerks must be greased daily when this boom is in use. Also be certain to replace any missing grease zerks or zerks which will not accept grease.

SPRAYER CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
NOTE: To avoid wind drift, use lower pressure and higher spray volume.
Guidelines For Sprayer Calibration
Before calibrating your sprayer, first determine whether each nozzle is delivering at a uniform rate. Place quart jars under all nozzles and watch as they fill up. The level should rise uniformly and take the same time (within 10%) for all nozzles to fill the jars. Replace any nozzle showing a discharge rate different from the others.
Sprayer Tips
Calibrating the Sprayer
1. Mark off 660 feet (1/8 mile).
2. Fill the tank with water.
3. Set the sprayer to your desired operating pressure.
4. Turn the sprayer on and drive at the constant speed you
will be spraying. Calibration on a road or unplowed field will give different results than on soft cultivated ground. Note tachometer reading so same speed can be main­tained later.
5. Measure the amount of water it takes to refill the tank
completely.
6. Calculate the amount applied:
Number of gallons used x 66 (factor) Gallons applied
Spray Swath in Feet per acre
Example: If 10 gallons are used in 660 feet and the spray swath is 40 feet, spraying rate is 16.5 gallons per acre.
10 x 66 660 40 40
=
or 16.5 gallons per acre
7. To calculate the amount of chemical to put in the tank:
Sprayer Tank Size Acres Desired GPA Covered
Recommended amount
of chemical per acre
=
x
Covered
Acres
Example: If a 500 gallon tank is used and 16.5 gallons per acre are applied, one tank will cover 30.3 acres. If three pounds of chemical are required per acre, then 90 pounds of chemical is required per tankful.

SPRAYER CHECK LIST
Down time in the field caused by breakdowns is costly and time consuming. Many breakdowns can be eliminated by periodic equipment maintenance. By spending time run­ning over this checklist before seasonal spraying application time and following proper af­ter season care, you can save time and money later on.
SAFETY FIRST
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating parts.
Wear the protective clothing recommended by your chemical
and fertilizer manufacturer when working with chemicals.
Be sure rear safety stand is lowered before unhooking sprayer
from tractor, if the sprayer is equipped with this stand.
CHECK Before Going To The Field:
1. NOZZLES
Check the tip for excessive wear by checking for grooves in or near the tip opening.
2. HOSES
Check all hoses for worn or soft spots. Be sure all hose clamps are tightened. Be sure no hoses are kinked or pinched. Check for leakage in any of the lines.
3. BOOM HINGES
Clean the hinges and grease to help the breaking action of the boom.
4. REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replace all worn or damaged parts.
NOTE: Dethmers Manufacturing Company does not and will not make any recommendations concerning the application of various chemicals or solutions. These recommendations relate to either amount or procedure of materials applied. If you have any ques­tions regarding the application of certain chemicals or solutions, contact your chemical supplier and fol­low chemical manufacturer recommendations.
After Season Care
NOTE: It is important that when cleaning the sprayer one wears proper safety equipment. See your chemi­cal or fertilizer package for this information.
1. After spraying chemicals, run water mixed with ammonia through the tank, pump, and all hose hookups. If wettable powder dries out in the sys­tem, it is very difficult to put back into suspension and can cause malfunction, damage or injury.
2. Disassemble the tips and rinse with water or clean­ing solution. (Appropriate for chemical sprayed).
3. Clean the tip opening with a wooden toothpick. Never use wire or a hard object that could distort the opening.
4. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.
5. Be sure to dispose of all unused chemicals or so­lutions in a proper and ecologically sound manner.
