Example:
Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware.
The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical
connections.
To ensure all stainless steel hardware does not gall or seize apply a light coating of
the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.
Permatex Anti-seize lubricant is preferred, but other similar anti-seize products
may be used.

3Hydraulic Installation
Ensure all pressure has been bled from the system before disconnecting any lines
or fittings. Hydraulic pressure will exist on the main lift circuit unless the main lift
is all the way down.
Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC
UC4.5 system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the
hydraulic installation.
3.1 Expansion Block Assembly
1. Use Figure 1 as a reference for installing the hydraulics.
2. Loosen the existing 2-station valve block so that it can be moved and/or twisted for the
installation of the expansion block.
3. Remove the four 4MBP plugs from the 2 station valve block (Figure 2).
4. Coat the four o-rings in hydraulic oil and install them into the expansion block. Ensure the
o-rings are seated properly.
5. Attach the expansion block to the 2 station block using the included spring washers and
bolts.
6. Tighten the bolts to 31 ft-lbs.

3.2 Hydraulic Plumbing
1. Remove all plastic plugs from the NORAC expansion valve block (V01).
2. Insert the orifice (F05) into the “B” port of the expansion block.
3. Install the 6MB 6MJ fitting (F04) into the “B” port of the expansion block.
4. Install the 6MBP plug (F03) into the “A” port of the expansion block.
5. If the valve block is not already installed on the sprayer, install it as outlined in the UC4.5
Spray Height Control installation manual.
6. Attach hose H01 to the “B” port on the expansion block. Route the free end of the hose
to the Summers valve block.
7. Tee in H01 to the existing main lift line on the Summers valve block, using the tee fitting
(F02).
Ensure no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled
tight at any time.

4Main Lift Sensor Installation
1. Assemble and mount the main lift sensor bracket as shown in Figure 3.
2. Mount the sensor onto the sensor mounting collar (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Main Lift Sensor Mounted in the Correct Location

8
5Roll Sensor Installation
1. Securely mount the roll sensor to the included roll sensor bracket using the #6 machine
screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm).
2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the
bracket mounting. The roll sensor CAN-bus connector must be pointing towards the right
side of the sprayer (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).

3. The roll sensor is to be mounted onto the chassis as shown in Figure 6. Ensure the roll
sensor is relatively level when chassis is level.
Figure 6: Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting
4. Ensure that the chassis roll sensor (Figure 6) has the highest serial number and that the
boom frame roll sensor (previously installed) has the lowest serial number (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Boom Frame and Intermediate Frame Roll Sensors (Previously Installed)
5. Ensure roll sensors are mounted adequately and that the cables provide enough slack to
allow sufficient boom roll.

6Electrical Installation
Figure 8: Cable Connections
Only the components shown in black are included in this kit.
1. Connect the 6-pin shroud (S6) on C17 to T6 on C11 (previously installed).
2. Disconnect the existing C13 cable and install the 3-pin connectors between it and C11.
One connector on C17 will remain disconnected. It is used when installing
other UC4.5 options.

11
3. Install the two connectors on the end of cable C17 to the expansion block. The connector
marked “Main Up” goes on the port side of the block. The port side of the block is the side
with the hoses.
4. Disconnect P6 on C11 from the 8-way coupler (E11).
5. Connect P6 on C11, C07 and the roll sensor connector (E04) to the 3-way coupler (E10).
6. Connect the free end of C07 to the 8-way coupler.
7. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C07 and a 2-way coupler
(E12). Cable C07 and item E12 may not be needed if the 8-way coupler is mounted close
enough to the main lift sensor.

7Software Setup
1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The control panel does not need
to be powered on for the original switches to function.
Confirm that the cabling and hoses are agreeable to the entire range of motion.
2. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to
check for proper installation.
3. Turn on the power for the control panel using the switch on the side of the chassis.
4. Refer to the UC4.5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual to run an automatic install
with the SM3 type selected.
