NOTICE:
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in
this manual. All parts supplied are selected to fit the sprayer and supply the
customer with a complete installation. However, NORAC cannot guarantee all
parts fit as intended due to the variations of the sprayer by the manufacturer.
Please read this manual in its entirety before attempting installation.
ATTENTION:
When installing the UC4 system please be aware that at a point in the installation
your sprayer booms will be inoperative until the installation is complete. Any
installation procedure requiring boom movement will need to be done
first. Once the hydraulics have been disconnected, you must complete the electrical
installation before the booms become operative.
