distributor of the sprayer only when the cylinders are being used. We recommend having qualified personnel do any adjustments.
5.2AIR-ASSISTED BOOMS
These are booms that use air to make the treatment more effective and decrease wind drift.
They are equipped with a fan (normally hydraulic) and an AIR- SLEEVE that transports the airflow along the entire length of the boom.
They come with their own use and maintenance handbook, en- closed with the machine.

To use, check:
a)that the boom has been mounted in the centre, the weight of the boom must be supported equally on the two halves. To check this, free the
b)in the models that have an adjustable connecting rod, by adjusting the same, it is possible to obtain small variations in trim that can be useful on slightly uneven terrain.
c)in the hydraulic versions it is possible to fit a hydraulic cylinder (TDI 2P) instead of the connecting rod that is adjusted by hand.
d)to complete the
e)keep the sliding parts well greased.
5.3.1 VARIABLE GEOMETRY
Some models of hydraulic boom are equipped with a variable geometry system of the side arms for independent inclination, this system can be used as an alternative to the trim correction or combined with the same.
The angle of the arms is controlled by the operator with electrohydraulic controls.
