SECTION 6 - OPTION NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS
6.2
6.3. CONTROL GRIP
9. Install hose barb fi ttings into cross. You will need to end up with two ports facing the front of the sprayer
and one port facing the rear boom.
10. Run 3/4” line from cross to each end of 3 boom sections on center section.
11. Run 1” line to out board boom sections from remaining boom control valves.
12. Add water to sprayer tank and test operation.
13. Check for and repair all leaks.
Example: For a 66’8” sprayer @ 20” spacing. To fi nd out how many nozzles convert 66’8” into inches and
divide by 20”. (66 x 12) + 8 = 800, 800/20 = 40 nozzles. Divide the number of nozzles by the number of
booms you want. 40 nozzles /3 booms = 13.33 nozzles per boom. In this example there will be one boom
that is unequal to the other two. We would set up 13 on right boom, 14 on the center boom, and 13 on the left
boom. With six nozzles on the center boom we would cut the left and right booms after the fourth nozzle on
each side. 6 + 4 + 4 = 14
To install a hydraulic control grip on Summers sprayer.
Locate port on hydraulic switch box. Attach control grip to switch box at control grip port. Switch box will
not function properly with control grip port empty. Control grip or protective cover must be installed for proper
operation of all switch functions.
Mount control grip to hydraulic lever that will control desired sprayer functions.
Tie up or retain any extra cabling so it does not become a safety hazard
To use control grip functions.
With tractor engine operating move hydraulic lever to desired position while operating one of the three switches.
The respective function on sprayer switch box will light up indicating circuit is activated and the cylinders
should function.
Moving the control grip in opposite direction with the same switch activated will reverse the cylinder direc-
tion.
With the control grip installed in the switch box the three switches that are replaced by the control grip will not
function. This is normal and they will again function when the control grip is removed and port plug installed.
Operator must remember this when folding the sprayer.
