Setup and Assembly

The VANPET 36-Inch 2-Nozzle Boom Wand is designed for easy assembly. Follow these steps:

1. Attach Boom Arms: Screw each boom arm securely into the threaded outlets on either side of the central T-connector. Ensure they are hand-tight to prevent leaks.
2. Install Elbow Nozzle Connectors: Screw an elbow nozzle connector onto the end of each boom arm. Make sure the integrated nozzles are facing the desired spray direction (typically downwards).
3. Connect Hose: Attach your standard 3/8" water hose to the brass barbed fitting on the central T-connector. Secure with a hose clamp if necessary to prevent disconnections under pressure.
4. Mounting: Securely mount the assembled boom wand to your tractor or ATV spray system. Ensure it is stable and positioned to provide optimal spray coverage. Consider the 36-inch width for proper placement.

Operating Instructions

Once the boom wand is assembled and connected to your spray system, follow these guidelines for operation:

1. Fill Sprayer Tank: Ensure your tractor or ATV sprayer tank is filled with the desired liquid (e.g., herbicide, fertilizer, water).
2. Check Connections: Double-check all hose connections and fittings for tightness to prevent leaks.
3. Start Pump: Activate your sprayer's pump to begin flow to the boom wand.
4. Monitor Spray Pattern: Observe the spray pattern from both nozzles. The 2-nozzle design is intended for even coverage. Adjust vehicle speed or spray pressure as needed to achieve optimal distribution.
5. Coverage Area: The 36-inch width provides a significant coverage area per pass, reducing the number of passes required for large areas.
