BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTION

BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• Route the Hawkeye® 2 inner, mid, and outer 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 inner, mid, and outer 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 possible.
• Secure cables using a zip tie at each nozzle control valve tee branch, and one between each tee branch along
the cable length.

BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTIONS (INNER, MIDDLE, AND OUTER BOOM CABLES)

1. Locate the boom cables included with the Hawkeye® 2 installation kit. There are typically six boom cables for a
single system:
•
2 inner boom cables (may be left and right specific).
•
2 mid boom cables.
•
2 outer boom cables.
2. On the inner boom cable, locate the end of the cable with the rotating locking collar.
3. Start with the rotating locking collar end of the cable near the center of the center rack and route the cable so
the first group of 8-pin connector drops align with the group of NCVs on the center rack of the boom. The
inner cable will then route over the boom pivot point, towards the end of the boom, following plumbing
routing whenever possible.
