NOTE: Not all fittings are used for this installation. Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical connections. To ensure all stainless steel hardware does not gall or seize apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.
Existing System Check 1. Before beginning the install, ensure all hydraulic boom functions are operating properly on the sprayer. All Fold Functions Main Lift Function Wing Tilt Functions Slant Function 2. Inspect slide pads and wear surfaces for excessive wear. Replace or adjust if necessary. 3.

8. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. 9. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 6. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests.
Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 7, following the instructions below. Figure 7: Breakaway Bracket Assembly 1. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base. 2. Slide the tube through the assembled part. 3.

Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the 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 sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.

Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. These rules should be followed for both the wing sensors and the main lift (middle) sensor. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A). 2.

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. 4. Mount the NORAC ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.
Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm). 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.

Temperature Probe Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 14. Figure 14: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed...
A good spot to mount the UC4.5 control panel is on the right hand side of the cab to the Roll Over Protection Bar. Four pilot holes for the screws provided need to be drilled to facilitate the control panel mounting.

IMPORTANT: Provide enough slack in all cables to account for the movement of the main section, parallel lift, and FOLDING boom movement. 13. The Hardi control box does not require the polarity of the power source to be Negative Ground. However, before connecting C10, ensure the Hardi system is wired as Negative Ground.
Valve Assembly – Double Acting 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install the 6MB 6MJ (F02) fittings into the “P” and “T” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).

Valve Block Mounting Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. The recommended mounting location is on the rear of the boom main section and on the vertical member centered below the Hardi valve block. Orient the valve block such that the "A"...

2. After the NORAC valves are mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed following the schematic in Figure 4. 3. Install the 90 degree fittings on hoses H01 onto the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. 4. Route the free ends of the hoses to each of the wing tilt cylinders.
2. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper installation. 3. Turn on the power for the UC4.5 Control Panel using the switch on the side of its chassis. 4. The procedure for the installation of the UC4.5 Spray Height Control system is now complete.
