NOTICE:
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in
this manual. All parts supplied are selected specially to fit the sprayer to facilitate
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.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Before installing the NORAC UC4 Boom Control System to your sprayer, it is
necessary to check that all functions of the existing hydraulic system are working
properly.
Furthermore, it is informative to determine how quickly your sprayer booms and
main (center) section are able to change their position without the UC4 System
installed. Doing so may illustrate the design strengths and constraints of your
sprayer’s mechanical and hydraulic configuration.
This information may also prove valuable when troubleshooting the installation,
and if you need to contact NORAC for installation support. For example, NORAC
support staff may use this information to determine if there are unwanted orifices
(or backwards orifices) remaining in the hydraulic system when the UC4 System is
installed.
Drive your sprayer onto a flat piece of land, without any obstructions in the way of
boom movement (e.g. power lines). Try to gain the best view of the booms and
involved cylinders as you can. This may be best done with two people: one in
the cab, and one outside. Perform following Function Check and Boom Speed
Test.
4.1 E XISTING H YDRAULIC S YSTEM F UNCTION C HECK
Check that all functions of the existing hydraulic system of your sprayer by using
Table 2. There may be more functions in the existing hydraulic system. Please refer
to the sprayer’s operation manual and ensure checking all functions.
