USING AUTOBOOM
The Autoboom feature, used in conjuction with Viper, adjusts the height of
your booms automatically at speeds of up to 20 mph in all terrains. Using
your boom’s hydraulics, Autoboom’s parallel hydraulic system always keeps
the hydraulic valves open, gently balancing the hydraulic cylinders and
allowing the booms to descend or elevate effortlessly.
There are two Autoboom systems that can be controlled by Viper;
PowerGlide Plus and UltraGlide.
Autoboom PowerGlide Plus utilizes gauge wheels to maintain optimum
boom height. State-of-the-art hydraulics is used to maintain constant hy-
draulic pressure in the lift cylinders. PowerGlide Plus systems are typi-
cally used in pre-emergent applications.
Autoboom UltraGlide uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensors that gauge
the distance to the ground. Ultra-Glide systems are typically used in pre-
emergent and post applications.
