4. Turn the fly nut of the NCV2 to engage the threads of the nozzle body. Tighten the fly nut using the supplied
universal wrench (P/N 333-0002-490) included in the system service kit. Tighten until the NCV2 no longer
rotates freely or at approximately 50 in-lbs..
5. Repeat step 1 through step 4 for each nozzle location on the spray boom.
NOTE: A leak test is recommended after the installation is complete.
BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTION
BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Route the Hawkeye® 2 primary, mid, and outer boom cables along existing cables or plumbing to avoid cable
damage.
• Route cables to avoid pinch points and to avoid stretching the cable during folding and unfolding operations.
Pay special attention to cable routing near folding or break-away points.
• Route cables through existing cable retention devices as appropriate.
• When securing the primary, mid, and outer boom cables on the implement, begin at the outer boom tips.
Adjust the cable position to provide sufficient slack between valve tee branches while working toward the
center of the implement.
• Route the boom cables on the inside of the boom frame when possible.
• Secure cables using a zip tie at each nozzle control valve tee branch, and one between each tee branch along
the cable length.
BOOM CABLE ROUTING AND CONNECTIONS (INNER, MIDDLE, AND OUTER BOOM CABLES)
1. Locate the boom cables included with the Hawkeye® 2 installation kit. There are typically six boom cables for a
single system:
•
2 inner boom cables (may be left and right specific).
•
2 mid boom cables.
•
2 outer boom cables.
2. Starting with an inner boom cable, identify the beginning of each boom cable by locating the rotating locking
collar.
3. Start with the beginning of the cable near the center of the center rack and route the cable going outwards
towards the boom tip, following plumbing routing whenever possible.
NOTE: Keep the boom connections clean and off the ground while routing.
Do not secure cables with cable ties until all cables are in place and routings are checked for pinch
points and other interferences.
Ensure sufficient slack is available at fold and break-away joints to allow for full range of motion
without stretching the cable.
4. Next, repeat step 2 and step 3 for the corresponding opposite side boom cable.
5. Continue routing both mid and outer boom cables by repeating step 2 through step 4. Start the mid and outer
boom cable beginnings by connecting the rotating locking collar to the end of the inside boom cable.
6. If not already applied, apply a single, short burst of corrosion inhibitor to all connections. Corrosion X HD (P/N
222-0000-020 or available from http://www.corrosionx.com/corrosionx-heavy-duty.html) is recommended.
