If the sprayer does not have wing accumulators then steps 7 to 9 can be ignored. 7. Remove the 8MB 8MOR fitting from the bottom of the wing accumulators. 8. Insert the 8MB 6MOR adapter (F05) into the accumulators. 9. Connect the 8MOR 6FOR adapters (F07) to the bottom of fitting F05, with the inline orifice (F06) between the two fittings.
4.7 E LECTRICAL NSTALLATION 1. Install the UC4+ 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+ control panel is on the right hand side of the cab to the Roll Over Protection Bar (ROP).
