V. OPERATING INFORMATION

Spray Booms

Spray booms are available in three different lengths: 60 ft., 80 ft., and 90 ft. Folding and locking the outer breakaway and turning off the two outer boom solution valves essentially makes an 80 ft. boom into a 60 ft. boom ( see page 39).

The spray booms are controlled by an electrohydraulic system. This system consists of operator manipulated switches loca ted in the sprayer’s cab and hydraulic cylinders attached to the booms. It provides control of lift (page 34), level (page 35), and horizontal and vertical fold (pages 36 and 37).

All DTS 8 spray booms are equipped with a main boom two-way, spring-loaded breakaway. Eighty and ninety foot spray booms are also equipped with a oneway spring-loaded breakaway on the outer boom section.
