APPENDIX A – VALVE CONNECTOR CHANGE Starting in January 2009, NORAC is changing the connectors on the boom height control valve block. The new style valve block will have 2-pin Deutsch connectors on the coils. The previous models had Hirschman style connectors as shown in Figure 2 new style valve blocks and cabling look similar to Figure 33 and Figure 34.
