P - PIPE Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. 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 to all threaded parts upon installation.

4 Existing System Check 1. Before beginning the install, ensure all hydraulic boom functions are operating properly on the sprayer. All Fold Functions Main Lift Function Wing Tilt Functions Slant Function 2. Inspect slide pads and wear surfaces for excessive wear. Replace or adjust if necessary. 3.
5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 6, following the instructions below. Figure 6: Breakaway Bracket Assembly 1. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base. 2. Slide the tube through the assembled part. 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 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.

Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. Mount the main lift sensor bracket (B11). Avoid mounting the bracket in front of or near flat horizontal surfaces since this may reduce the sensor’s performance. Mounting as illustrated in Figure 12 requires drilling 2 holes in the boom frame. Flat Surface Figure 12: Mounting the Main-Lift Sensor Bracket on LPA2 Centerpart Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track.
6 Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm). 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.

3. Item E04 is attached to the rotating part of the boom (to the EVRARD valve block mounting bracket (EVRARD06) as pictured). If mounted to item EVRARD06 as shown, the NORAC roll sensor mounting bracket is not required. Otherwise, mount in a similar fashion, using the roll sensor mounting bracket.

Temperature Probe Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 16. Figure 16: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed...
1. Mount the UC4.5 control panel in the cab in a suitable location. Leave the power switch off. 2. Connect P16 and P4 of the power cable C10 to the UC4.5 Control Panel. Cable tie C10 to the RAM mount to help provide strain relief. Route C10 from the tractor cab to the sprayer hitch.

4. Connect the valve interface cable (C03) to connector S6 on the valve extension cable (C11). 5. Connect the 2-pin connectors on the valve interface cable to the NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 18. 6. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN.
4. Install the 6MB-6MBSP fittings (F02) fittings into the “B” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 5. Install the 6MBP (F03) plugs into the “A” ports on the NORAC block and tighten to 18 ft- lbs (24 Nm).

Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. 1. Install the NORAC valve block to the EVRARD mounting bracket (EVRARD06) as illustrated in Figure 20. 2. If the bracket is not available, use the included mounting hardware and secure the block near the location as indicated in Figure 20.

6. Connect hoses EVRARD02 to the tee fitting using fittings EVRARD03. Connect the other end of EVRARD02 to the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. 7. The “A” ports on the NORAC block are plugged. The “lower” lines of the cylinders are to remain attached to the EVRARD sprayer valve block.
2. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper installation. 3. Turn on the power for the UC4.5 Control Panel using the switch on the side of its chassis. 4. The procedure for the installation of the UC4.5 Spray Height Control system is now complete.
