If it is just bent forward or backward I would just use it and forget about straightening it. It will probably crack at the bend if you try to straighten.
 
Try to bend it back, if it bends, great.

If it breaks, take the pipe out, cut the broken part away, bevel the ends and have it welded.
 
If you know someone with a Hosfield bender that would be a 30 second job. I have one and have straightened many for people. Otherwise find a piece of pipe with ID same as OD of your pipe, or close to it. Slice about 4 of it in half lengthways then wrap it around the bend and put it in your press.
 
Some heat will help but be careful, that will melt quickly. Aluminum doesn't get red when hot like steel so it's hard to tell when the temp is right. Might straighten cold too
 
Just pull on a bit,maybe it will 'straighten' out a bit. However,you can just rotate the nozzle to the correct angle and spray. My spray boom has s similar bend. Doesnt affect it a bit.
 
Loop a ratchet strap around he end of the pipe and the main frame and slowly pull it toward the main frame using the ratchet strap ratchet. Pull it one click at a time and watch the bend closely. You might get lucky. The angle of the bend is in a no mans land where it might or might not break.
