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 wing tilt circuits unless the wings
are being supported by other means. The hydraulic installation may be performed
with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders
fully extended.
Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC UC5
system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the
hydraulic installation.
3.1 Expansion Block Assembly
1. Remove the four 4MBP plugs from the 2 station valve block (Figure 3). Gently tap the
plugs with a hammer to loosen before attempting to remove.
2. Coat the four o-rings in hydraulic oil and install them into the expansion block. Ensure the
o-rings are seated properly.
3. Attach the expansion block to the 2 station block using the included spring washers and
bolts.
4. Tighten the bolts to 31 ft-lbs (42 Nm).

3.2 Wing Roll Cylinder Mounting
1. Mount the wing roll cylinder (H20) to the boom as shown in Figure 4 with the cable end
pointing towards the right-hand wing (when looking from the rear of the sprayer). Tighten
mounting bolts to 60-70 ft-lb (81-95 Nm).
2. Route the wing roll cylinder sensor cable to the 8-way coupler (E11).

3.3 Hydraulic Plumbing
From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the
hydraulics are fully installed.
After the NORAC valve is mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The
plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 2.
NOTE: All other hydraulic hoses and fittings needed for this installation are supplied by
Goldacres.
1. Disconnect the tilt lower lines from the tees at the sprayer valve block.
2. Install two more tees onto the tees installed on the lower lines. Connect the sprayer lower
lines to the second set of tees.
3. Connect a hose between the free ends of the tees on the lower lines.
4. Disconnect the sprayer raise lines from the tees at the sprayer valve block.
5. Connect the free ends of the tees on the raise lines to the ports on the ends of the wing
roll cylinder.
6. Connect the sprayer raise lines to the second ports on the ends of the wing roll cylinder.
7. Connect the “A” port on the wing roll cylinder to the “A” port on the NORAC expansion
block.
8. Connect the “B” port on the wing roll cylinder to the “B” port on the NORAC expansion
block.

4Electrical Installation
1. Locate the valve module installed on the NORAC valve block. Remove the plugs installed
in positions 7 and 8.
2. Connect the 2 pin connector on cables C10 into positions 7 and 8 on the valve module.
Connect the other end of cables C10 to the 2 pin connectors on the NORAC expansion
block (V02).

5Wing Roll Cylinder Air Bleed Procedure
After installing the Wing Roll Cylinder, air will have to be removed from the system. The
following is a step by step procedure for bleeding air from the system using both the sprayer
joystick and the NORAC manual valve drive screen.
5.1 Using a Virtual Terminal (VT) or PULSETM Display
1. Remove the air from the tilt cylinders, using the sprayer’s joystick controls.
a) Move the left tilt cylinder full stroke three times.
b) Move the right tilt cylinder full stroke three times.
2. The NORAC screen on the VT or PULSE must be used to remove air from the roll
channel:
a) Start an Automatic Install.
i) If this is a new install, the system will automatically start an automatic install.
ii) If an install has already been performed, follow the icons in step 3 to start the install.
b) Select the appropriate sprayer make and model on the screen.
c) Read the disclaimer menus and move through the screens.
d) At the screen reading “level the boom at 35in”, press the button with a house on it to
exit the install and return to the main run screen.
e) Using the sprayer’s controls raise the boom center to the maximum height and level the
wings.
f) Follow the symbols below to navigate to the manual valve drive screen.
g) Use the roll arrows to roll the boom over as far as possible in each direction a few
times, allowing the air to escape. *Don’t adjust the wings individually, only use
the roll arrows.
h) Stop with the wings at approximately the same height.
i) Ensure that each roll button allows for the boom to rotate in both directions. If the
boom doesn’t roll in one direction, roll it the opposite way and adjust the wings to their
level position.
3. Run a complete automatic install.
