Fittings F05, F06, F07 are not required if the sprayer does not have wing accumulators The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical connections. To ensure all stainless steel hardware does not gall or seize apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease (M06) to all threaded parts upon installation.

Pre-Install Checklist The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. 1. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). 2. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). 3.

Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the sensors, start with the smallest serial number on the left-hand side, and proceed to the largest serial number on the right hand side. Each sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease (M06) to all threaded parts upon installation.

Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. These rules should be followed for both the wing sensors and the main lift (middle) sensor. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A). 2.
Page 15
If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards. 4. Mount the NORAC ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.

Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. To mount the roll sensors, the roll sensor brackets will have to be bent. The brackets are supplied with a 90° bend and must be bent back to a 45° bend. 2. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws.

Electrical Installation 1. Install the UC4.5 Control Panel (E01) in the cab of the sprayer. Mount the panel where it will be clearly visible and within easy reach of the operator. A good spot to mount the UC4.5 control panel is on the right hand side of the cab to the Roll Over Protection Bar.
Page 19
Ensure the UC4.5 Control Panel’s power is OFF for the remaining installation. (Bottom of switch pressed IN). 6. Locate the 16-pin AMP connector attached to the sprayer’s joystick and connect the 16-pin AMP tee connectors of C10 between this connection. Figure 15: Joystick Connection 7.

9. Route C06 and C04 to the front of the sprayer, in the vicinity of the valve block. 10. Connect the valve cable (C03) to C04. Connect the 2-pin connectors on C03 to the NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 18. 11. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN.

3. Use the 8MBP plug (F09) to cap the sprayer’s valve block where the two hoses were removed. 4. Use hoses H08 and H06 to connect the raise side of the cylinders to the NORAC valve block “B” ports. 5. Insert the 8MB 6MOR fittings (F04) into the spare pressure (“P”) and tank (“T”) ports on the Nitro valve block.

Software Setup 1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The NORAC control panel does not need to be powered on for the original boom function switches to operate. Unfold the booms and raise/lower each boom and the main section.
