INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC4+ Spray Height Controller. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating features and reliability unmatched for years to come. When properly used the system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly.
Any installation specially to fit the sprayer to facilitate a procedure requiring boom movement will complete installation. However, NORAC need to be done first. Once the hydraulics cannot guarantee all parts fit as intended due have been disconnected you must complete...

It is often best to cable tie the intermediate frame roll sensor in place. When mounting the intermediate frame roll sensor follow the guidelines and refer to Figure 14.
4.5.2 Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting 1. Use the supplied hardware to mount the boom frame roll sensor (E04) as shown in Figure 16. When mounting the boom frame roll sensor follow these guidelines: a) To prevent bending the bracket, ensure bolts are placed as close together as possible (minimize C in Figure 16).
4.5.3 Reference Frame Roll Sensor 2. Ensure that the roll sensor is relatively Mounting level when the chassis is level. 1. The reference frame roll sensor is to be 3. Ensure that the Reference Frame roll mounted on the chassis as shown in sensor has the highest roll sensor serial Figure 17.
