Begin by attaching the center section of the boom to the sprayer. With the center section on the sprayer,

the boom can be assembled from the center section outward and final alignment made at that time.

MOUNTING THE BOOM CENTER SECTION

Normal sprayer frame, without Height Adjuster. (Shown Above)

1. Mount the Boom Carrier Center Section (#1) to the Mounting Angles (#2) on the back of the sprayer frame using four 3/8" x 2-1/2" square U-bolts (#3) and eight 3/8" nylon locknuts (#4). NOTE: The mounting brackets (#2) may need to be turned in or out depending on sprayer frame width.

MOUNTING THE BOOM CENTER SECTION TO HYDRAULIC HEIGHT ADJUST

CAUTION -Do not operate height adjust until final adjustments have been made. Never stand on or near the boom during height adjust operation.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mount the height adjust main frame (#1) to the boom mounting brackets (#4) on the sprayer frame with eight 3/8" x 1-14" bolts (#2), eight 3/8" flatwashers (#3) and eight 3/8" locknuts (#5). NOTE: The mounting brackets (#4) may need to be turned in or out depending on sprayer frame width.

2. Mount the lock pin brackets (#20) to the boom carrier (#13), using four 1/2" x 1-1/4" bolts (#19) and four 1/2" locknuts (#11), make sure the bolts are inserted in the right direction as shown above. Place the lock pin (#25) & roll pin (#24) through the bracket (#20). Insert the spring (#23) and 7/16" flatwasher (#22) to the inside of the lock pin bracket and push the pin (#25) through. 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.

MOUNTING THE BOOM CENTER SECTION TO MANUAL HEIGHT ADJUST

(DFBHA OPTION)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mount the height adjust main frame (#1) to the boom mounting brackets (#4) on the sprayer frame with eight 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts (#2), eight 3/8" flatwashers (#3) and eight 3/8" locknuts (#5). NOTE: The mounting brackets (#4) may need to be turned in or out depending on sprayer frame width.

2. Mount the lock pin brackets (#6) to the boom carrier (#7) using four 1/2" x 1-1/4" bolts (#8) and four 1/2" locknuts (#9) make sure these bolts are inserted in the right direction as shown above. Place the lock pin (#14) & roll pin (#13) through the brackets (#6). Insert the lock spring (#12) and 7/16" flatwasher (#11) to the inside of the lock pin bracket and push the pin (#14) through. Secure the lock pin assembly with cotter pin (#10) 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 (#16) to the boom carrier (#7) and boom carrier brackets (#15) using sixteen 1/4" x 1" flathead screws (#17) and sixteen 1/4" nuts (#18).

4. Now place the boom carrier (#7) 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 (#15) to the boom carrier (#7) using eight 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts (#2), six 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts (#19), fourteen 3/8" flatwashers (#3) and fourteen 3/8" locknuts (#5).

5. Attach the two top pulley mounts (#23) to the main frame (#1) as shown using four 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts (#2) and four 3/8" locknuts (#5). Attach the top pulley (#27), spacer (#26) and cable retainer bracket (#25) with 1/2" x 1-3/4" bolt (#24) and 1/2" locknut (#9). Assemble the pulley on the top left side of the height adjuster main frame. Adjust cable retainer brackets (#25) to always keep the cable in the pulley grove even when there is no tension on the cable.

6. Attach the bottom pulley mount (#28) to the center of the boom carrier (#7) using two 3/8" x 2-1/2" sq. U-bolts (#29) and two 3/8" locknuts (#5). Attach the pulley (#27) to the bottom pulley mount (#28) ear, using one 1/2" x 1-3/4" bolt (#24), cable retainer bracket (#25), and spacer (#26), then secure with a 1/2" locknut (#9). Align this bracket so the cable runs straight down from the top, around the bottom pulley and back up to the rapidlink (#30).
