4.5.1 Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting 1. Use the supplied hardware to mount the boom frame roll sensor (E04) as shown in Figure 18. 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 18).
4.5.2 Intermediate Frame Roll Sensor Mounting intermediate frame roll sensor temperature probe on it. 1. 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.
4.5.3 Reference Frame Roll Sensor Mounting 2. Ensure the sensor is mounted adequately The reference frame roll sensor and that the cable provides enough slack. should be the highest serial number. 1. The reference frame (chassis) roll sensor mounts on the left side of the rear axle below the main up/down coils (Figure 18).

4.6.2 Valve Mounting 1. Mount the NORAC valve (V01) on the sprayer using valve mounting bracket (B10). 2. As shown in Figure 24, screw short side of the threaded rods into the bottom of the valve block at least 3/8".
The “raise” lines must be connected to the "B" ports of the NORAC valve block. The ports on the sprayer block must then be capped with 4MBP plugs (H04). b. The "A" ports of the NORAC block must be plugged using the 6MBP plug (F02).
Some sprayers may not use these colors/numbers. There can be no relays between the NORAC wires and the valve solenoids on the machine. Figure 26: Control Panel Mounting...
