  • Page 15: Pre-Install Checklist

    Pre-Install 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.

  • Page 16: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the UC5 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 UC5 sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing.
  • Page 17 Ultrasonic Wing Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12-inch diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor.
  • Page 18 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. Figure 7: Bracket Mounting Guidelines A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly.
  • Page 19 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. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.
  • Page 20 Rainflap Installation Rainflaps are only installed in the wing sensor brackets. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre-bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 10) Figure 10: Rainflap Rod in Pre-Bent Hinge Tab Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 11) Figure 11: Align Rainflap Rod Bend the hinge tab inward over the rainflap rod until the hinge tab fits securely in the detent groove on the backside of the sensor bracket.
  • Page 21 Ultrasonic Main Lift Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A). 2. The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights (A).
  • Page 22 Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 13: Main Lift Bracket Assembly There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket on most sprayers. The bracket should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom.

  • Page 32 Valve Block Mounting A good mounting location for the valve block on the John Deere is illustrated in Figure Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8” NC-1” deep. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8”.
  • Page 33 Removing the Rubber Bumpers, Springs and Dampers The springs are under compression and must be retained during disassembly. Failure to ensure the springs are removed safely may result in injury or damage to the equipment. Remove the rubber bumpers (Figure 29) from each side of the sprayer boom. Figure 29: Rubber Bumpers The springs to be removed are located on the bottom rear of the sprayer boom (Figure 30).
  • Page 34 When all the boom suspension components (springs, dampers and bumpers) are removed, the boom may roll to one side or move unexpectedly. Remove the upper and lower mounting bolts and remove the damper from each side of the sprayer boom (Figure 31). Figure 31: Dampers to be Removed...
