Example:
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 (M06) to all threaded parts upon
installation. Permatex Anti-seize lubricant is preferred, but other similar anti-seize
products may be used.

4Pre-Install Checklist
The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the
installation.
1. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.).
2. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below).
3. Bring engine to field-operational RPM and record below.
4. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure
repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials.
5. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 4.
Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during
these tests.
