4Pre‐Installation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2.



Ensuretheboomhassufficienttravelsoitdoesnotcontactthegroundduringthesetests.

5.2. UltrasonicSensorMountingGuidelines

Thefollowingguidelineswillensureoptimalsensorperformanceandpreventsensormeasurement.

1. Initslowestposition,thesensormustbe9inches(230mm)ormorefromtheground.

2. Ensurethattherearenoobstructionswithina12inch(300mm)diametercircleprojecteddirectlybelow

thecenterofthesensor.

3. Thesensorshouldbeapproximatelyverticalatnormaloperatingheights.



Figure4:SensorMountingGuidelines



Figure5:BracketMountingGuidelines



5.3. LowProfileBracketMountingGuidelines

1. Minimizethedistancebetweentheboltstopreventbendingthebracketandpreventthebracketfrom

looseningovertime.

2. Ensurethebracketismountedtightagainstthebottomoftheboom,minimizingthedistancebetweenthe

boomstructureandtheangledflange.



Aproblemcanariseifasensorisnotmountedcorrectly.Thismayonlybecomeapparentoncethecontrol

systemisswitchedfromsoiltocropmode.

Becarefulthatthesensorbracketdoesnotcollidewithanyotherpartoftheboomwhentheboomisfolded

totransportposition.Ifpossible,mountthesensorbracketswhiletheboomsarefoldedtoensuretheywill

notcauseinterference.

5.4. RainflapInstallation



Rainflapsareonlyinstalledifthesensorfacewillbepointingupwhentheboomsarefolded.

1. Insertonesideoftherainflaprodintothepre‐benthingetabonthesensorbracket.(Figure6)



5.5. WingSensorInstallation

1. Thesensorbracketshouldbeorientedforward(aheadoftheboom).

2. Typically,thebestmountinglocationforthewingsensorbracketswillbeneartheendoftheboomtips,

approximatelytwofeet(0.6m)fromtheend.

3. Mountthesensorintothesensorbracket.Runthesensorcablethroughholeandbehindthebracket.

Ensurethecableisclearofmovingpartsandwillnotbedamagedduringfolding.
