  • Page 12: Installation Procedure

    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.

  • Page 13: Boom Speed Test

    4.2 Boom Speed Test IMPORTANT: Let the sprayer run for several minutes to heat up the hydraulic oil. Raise/lower the left and right booms, main and hydraulic roll sections several times to help get the system (hydraulic oil, valve solenoids) warmed up.

  • Page 17 For this reason, you may want to avoid mounting on a breakaway section. Please refer to the UC4 system warranty at the end of the UC4 Sprayer Boom Control Operator’s Manual (Item M1) for implications. NOTE: When installing the UC4 sensors (Item E2), start with the smallest serial number on the left hand side proceeding to the largest serial number on the right hand side (Figure 6).
  • Page 18 4. The sensor mounting brackets can be installed two basic ways: with the base behind the tube (Figure 7 and Figure 9), which is preferred, or with the base mounting in front of the tube (Figure 8). Both mountings are acceptable. However, the preferred mounting will be less likely to damage the bracket in the event of a boom contacting a post or obstruction.
