GENERAL VALVE INSTALLATION

FIGURE 2. Valve Face O-Ring and Nozzle Control Valve
Valve Body Face
O-Ring
1. Place a supplied o-ring on the inside of the fly nut flush with the valve body face. The o-ring should press into
the outer ring of the Wilger valve body and temporarily hold in place while the NCV is installed onto the nozzle
body.
2. Thread the fly nut onto the one of the threaded connections of the nozzle body.
3. Orient the nozzle control valve so that the label is easily readable while keeping the connector easily accessible.
4. Hand tighten the fly nut to secure the nozzle control valve to the nozzle body. Tighten the fly nuts until the
valve no longer freely rotates and the valves do not leak under pressure. If necessary, a fly nut wrench is
provided in the system service kits to tighten the fly nuts. Do not over tighten.
NOTE: Frequently check the nozzle control valve nuts to ensure they are secure.
5. Repeat the previous steps to mount a nozzle control valve to each nozzle body on the spray boom.
VALVE MOUNTING INTERFERENCE AND OBSTRUCTIONS
In some locations on the spray boom, boom equipment or hardware may interfere with mounting the Hawkeye
nozzle control valves. In these locations, it may be necessary to rotate the nozzle control valve or to relocate
existing hardware to provide additional clearance.
NOTE: Avoid removing of any existing boom hardware or support brackets where applicable during
installation of the Hawkeye nozzle control valves.

BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTION

BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• Route the Hawkeye primary and secondary boom cables along existing cables or plumbing to help avoid
damage to the cable.
• 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.
