Lightly tap a palnut onto the end of the axle. Repeat on other end of axle.

Boom connecting hose should extend upward. • Assemble hitch brackets to hitch arms using two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts. Position each bolt behind one of the cross bolts in the hitch arms. Do not tighten yet.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPRAYER • Determine the approximate square footage of the area to be sprayed. Use this amount to estimate the number of gallons that will be required, based on product recommendations. This can help avoid unneeded solution left in the tank. • Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000 sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical manufacturers recommendations. • Use the tip chart on page 9 to determine what ground speed will achieve the recommended application rate.
