Install the AutoMate interface onto the sprayer with the following steps.
1. Remove the four screws securing
the boom switch control panel on
the right console in the sprayer
cab.

2. Raise the boom switch panel and
locate the four connections for
each switch.
Each boom switch will have two
signal wires (yellow), a ground
(white), and a power (orange).
One of the signal wires will have
an additional wire piggy-backed
onto the same spade connection.
This is the positive boom signal
connection.

3. Route the two small ends (wires
w/ spade connectors) of the
interface cable (A) from the floor
up through the console to the
switch panel.
The bundle of wires with male
spades is for connection with
existing Spra-Coupe signal wires.
The smaller bundle of wires with
female spades is for connection
with the Spra-Coupe boom switch
terminals.

4. Disconnect the positive and
negative boom signal wires from
boom switch 1. Connect the signal
wires to the two corresponding
wires of the interface cable (A),
according to the table below.
Note: After connecting the
interface cable to the positive
signal wire, be sure to wrap the
electrical connectors with
electrical tape.
5. Disconnect the white ground wire
from the boom switch. The system
will now be grounded through the
AutoMate interface.
NOTE
: After detaching the
ground (white) wire, be sure to
wrap black electrical tape on the
tip of the female connectors.
