  • Page 11: Installation Procedure

    4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Before installing the NORAC UC4 Boom Control System to your sprayer, it is necessary to check that all functions of the existing hydraulic system are working properly. Furthermore, it is informative to determine how quickly your sprayer booms and main (center) section are able to change their position without the UC4 System installed.

  • Page 12: Boom Speed Test

    4.2 B PEED IMPORTANT: Let the sprayer run for several minutes to heat up the hydraulic oil. Raise/lower the left and right booms, main and hydraulic roll sections several times to help get the system (hydraulic oil, valve solenoids) warmed up. This will simulate field conditions and makes QUITE a difference in some cases.
  • Page 13 In Section 4.7, this procedure is repeated with the UC4 System installed for comparison and troubleshooting purposes. Table 3 – Boom Test Record (WITHOUT UC4 System) Working RPM: Average Trial #1 Trial #2 Trial #3...

  • Page 15 Because of this, you may want to avoid mounting on a breakaway section. Please refer to the UC4 system warranty at the end of the UC4 Sprayer Boom Control Operator’s Manual (Item M1) for implications. NOTE: When installing the UC4 sensors (Items E2), start with the smallest serial number on the left hand side proceeding to the largest serial number on the right hand side (Figure 5).

  • Page 18: Main Lift Sensor Installation

    • The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inch above the spray nozzles. NOTE: The standard kit will include an alignment fixture (Item M14, plastic tube). This fixture is NOT required when performing installations on sprayers that do not support boom roll movement. Discard or return M14 to NORAC.

    1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the “A”, “B”, “P”, and “T” ports of the NORAC hydraulic Valve (Item V1) (Figure 8). 2. Install the 6MB-6MJ fittings (Item H51) on the “P” and “T” ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs.
  • Page 20 3. Install the orifices (Item H50) into the “B” ports with the notch facing outwards as shown in Figure 9. An O-ring pick can be used to ease installing the orifices into their locations. 4. Install the 6MB-6MJ fittings (Item H51) into the “B” ports and tighten to 18 ft- lbs.

    2. The “raise” lines from the side of the boom tilt cylinders, which raise the booms, must be connected to the “B” ports of the NORAC valve block with Items H5 and H6. Remove the existing hoses that run to the “raise” lines. The ports on the sprayer valve block must then be plugged/capped with Item H1, as illustrated.
