The Hardi sprayer's pendulum trapeze boom uses a coil spring to keep the boom level on uneven ground. If the spring is wound too tight, it transmits wheel drops directly to the boom end. Loosen the bolts outward to relax the spring when spraying on slopes or rough terrain.

Chapters

The Hardi boom spray has what we call a pendulum trapeze boom, which is quite unique. It has a pendulum point in there. Then you go to two pivot points there, and the trapeze on that part there. That's very unique. So it gives a lot of flexibility, but it really depends on the spring system. Also, at the moment, the coil spring is wound up too tight. So if the wheel went down a hole, that would transfer that drop out onto the end of the boom. To screw them in like that, you need to be on very level ground. When you're not on level ground, these bolts need to be adjusted out to relax the spring. The coil spring there is just to return the boom back to level.
