Product Usage Instructions

Remove the tank lid and ensure that the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse the tank to remove any residue before filling it with water for testing.
To familiarize yourself with the sprayer and check for leaks, it is essential to test the sprayer with plain water after connecting a boom before actual spraying is attempted. This will prevent the loss of expensive chemicals.
Read and understand the owner’s manual before using the boom. Test and use the boom in accordance with the provided instructions.
When filling, using, cleaning, and servicing the boom, always read and follow the chemical label instructions and wear appropriate protective gear.

Technical Specifications

These booms weighs approx.:

MX408-QJD (5303666) …………………………………….. 45 Lbs.
MX410-QJD (5303667) …………………………………….. 50 Lbs.
MX412-QJD (5303668)………………………………..55 Lbs.
MX517-QJD (5282865)………………………………..95 Lbs.

Always check the vehicle load rating before using a boom with sprayer, ensuring total weight is acceptable. Do not exceed the recommended rating.

IMPORTANT

Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank residue before filling with water to test.
It is VERY important to test the sprayer, after connecting a boom, with plain water before actual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to familiarize yourself with the sprayer and check for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.

WARNING
Read and Understand the Owner’s Manual before using this boom. Test and use in accordance to instructions. Read and Follow chemical label instructions and wear protective gear when filling, using, cleaning and servicing the boom.

Exercise Caution in vehicle handling when towing/hauling a filled sprayer to avoid loss of control or overturning.
Keep Sprayer and Spray materials away from other people, children and pets.
Do Not Turn on Power to the sprayer, until ready to spray in order to avoid unintentional spray release.
Do Not Use on steep slopes. A full sprayer could cause loss of control or overturn sprayer and vehicle.
Always operate up and down a slope, never across the face of a slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, directions or turning. Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill.
Stop on level ground, set the parking brake and shut off engine before leaving the operator’s position for any reason.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damaged or worn parts immediately.
Caution should be taken when towing and/or using any sprayer. The sprayer combined with the weight distribution, turning radius and speed of vehicle can result in damage to vehicle, sprayer and/or boom or severe injury or death, if not used properly.
Improper use or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or illness, or could cause damage to the environment.

Calibration

Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square feet. You will note that the tip chart shows 2 of these rating systems.
Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI) and the spraying speed (MPH).
Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 100, 200 and 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle location, so you can stop and go again, returning to the same speed.
Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying.

Tip Selection

Important Note:
The tips supplied as standard with this boom assembly are number AIXR11003VP tips, when you refer to the spray tip rate chart found in this owner’s manual, you will note that they have a GPA range of 10.7 to 17.8 GPA (Gallons Per Acre). This is tabulated at 5 MPH and from 15-40 psi and 20” nozzle spacing. These rates are based on water. Please read this tip selection section carefully before attempting to operate your boom assembly.

The selection of proper tips for the boom is determined by the gallon per acre (GPA) requirement, which is specified on the chemi-cal label. The following characteristics also have a determining factor and must be considered:

Speed of spraying (MPH)
Boom nozzle spacing (specified in inches)
Solution weight and conversion factor (CF)
Gallons of solution to be sprayed per acre
Spraying pressure

Nozzle Spacing
If the nozzle spacing on your boom is different from those tabu-lated, multiply the tabulated GPA coverage by one of the follow-ing actors.

The AIXR TeeJet Flat Spray Tip offers the benefits of obtain-ing excellent drift resistance without compromising spray coverage. Tips producing very coarse droplets do minimize drift but do not provide the same surface coverage as tips that produce smaller droplets. In some applications, inade-quate coverage decreases the effectiveness of the applied chemicals.
