Figure 2 – Cable Routing Overview
1. Connect C10 to the UC4 control panel in the sprayer cab. Ensure that both plugs (P16A and P4)
are connected to the panel.
2. Route the receptacle end (R16) of C10 to the exterior of the cab and connect to C11 at the hitch.
Ensure cable is routed in a safe manner to avoid damage.
3. Connect Power to Harness C10 via the 3-pin AMP plug. If this plug does not fit a power source in
the tractor, cut off the connector and hard-wire to a power source. Ensure the power source is

5 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
1. Turn on the power for the UC4+ Control Panel using the switch on the side of its chassis. Ensure that
the display lights up to confirm that the panel has proper +12 volt power.
2. After a moment the panel will display the main operational screen:
↓M 45 M↓
3. For optimal performance, the UC4+ system must calibrate itself to the tractor unit powering the
sprayer hydraulics, which is an automated process.
Performing a RETUNE requires that the sprayer is unfolded and the booms have full range
of moment. This should also be performed on a flat area of ground, over gravel or dirt. Do
not attempt to perform a retune over grass.
4. To initiate the RETUNE process, navigate from the Main Operational Screen to the “RETUNE”
menu, following the instructions below:
•Using the left-hand toggle switch on the UC4+ panel, toggle the switch down towards “Setup”
until ↓RETUNE?↓appears on the display.
•At this point, answer YES to the panel by toggling the right-hand toggle switch up towards “Yes”.
•The panel will start the RETUNE process. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Additional information concerning the RETUNE procedure may be found in the UC4+
Operator’s Manual and the UC4+ Quick Reference Manual
5. The installation of the UC4+ system is now complete. Refer to the Quick Guide (M01B) for
operation instructions.
