NOTICE:

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in

this manual. All parts supplied are selected to fit the sprayer and supply the

customer with a complete installation. However NORAC cannot guarantee all parts

fit as intended due to the variations of the sprayer by the manufacturer. Please

read this manual in its entirety before attempting installation.

ATTENTION:

When installing the UC4 system please be aware that at a point in the installation

your sprayer booms will be inoperative until the installation is complete. Any

installation procedure requiring boom movement will need to be done

first. Once the hydraulics have been disconnected you must complete the electrical

installation before the booms become operative.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Before installing the NORAC UC4 Boom Control System to your sprayer, it is

necessary to check that all functions of the existing hydraulic system are working

properly.

Furthermore, it is informative to determine how quickly your sprayer booms and

main (center) section are able to change their position without the UC4 System

installed. Doing so may illustrate the design strengths and constraints of your

sprayer’s mechanical and hydraulic configuration.

This information may also prove valuable when troubleshooting the installation,

and if you need to contact NORAC for installation support. For example, NORAC

support staff may use this information to determine if there are unwanted orifices

(or backwards orifices) remaining in the hydraulic system when the UC4 System is

installed.

Drive your sprayer onto a flat piece of land, without any obstructions in the way of

boom movement (e.g. power lines). Try to gain the best view of the booms and

involved cylinders as you can. This may be best done with two people: one in

the cab, and one outside. Perform following Function Check and Boom Speed

Test.
