BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTION

BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

®
• Route the Hawkeye primary and secondary boom cables along existing cables or plumbing to avoid cable
damage.
• Route cables to avoid pinch points and to avoid stretching the cable during folding and unfolding operations.
Pay special attention to cable routing near folding or break-away points.
• Route cables through existing cable retention devices as appropriate.
• When securing the primary and secondary boom cables on the implement, begin at the outer boom tips.
Adjust the cable position to provide sufficient slack between valve tee branches while working toward the
center of the implement.
• Route the boom cables on the inside of the boom frame when available.
• Secure cables using a zip tie at each nozzle control valve tee branch, and one between each tee branch along
the cable length.

SECONDARY BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTIONS

NOTE: Please review the Best Practices and Recommendations section on page 21 before routing or securing
the boom cables on the implement. Do not connect or secure the cable until instructed to do so in
the procedure.
1. Locate the terminator on each of the secondary boom cables (refer to the Kit Contents section on page 8).

NOTE: Verify the terminators are secured to the main cable trunk using a zip tie through the connector
retainer clip. If terminators are not secured, wire breakage could occur.
2. Route the secondary boom cables so they are located at the outer tips of the left and right boom.
3. Starting from the mid-boom fold point, feed the terminator end of the secondary boom cable through the
boom framework along existing cable or plumbing runs and through any existing cable retention devices as
appropriate.
NOTE: If there is interference between the connector and boom components, remove the 90° back shell
from the connector. Refer to Figure 14 on page 22.
4. If not already applied, apply a single short burst of corrosion inhibitor (Corrosion X HD (Raven P/N 222-0000-
020 or available from http://www.corrosionx.com/corrosionx-heavy-duty.html)) into the NCV connection. Be
sure the corrosion inhibitor has coated the NCV contacts and recessed portions of the connector.
NOTE: To determine is corrosion inhibitor has been applied, inspect for a thick liquid in the bottom of the
connector.
