WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 4 Pre‐Installation Checklist The pre‐install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). Ensure all boom‐fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). Bring engine to field‐operational RPM and record below. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 3. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests.

The hydraulic installation may be performed with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders fully extended. Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the hydraulic installation. 5.1.

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 6.1. Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (230 mm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12 inch (300 mm) diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor. The sensor should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights. Figure 11: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 10: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 6.2. Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. This may only become apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode. Be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the boom when the boom is ...
