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. It is possible for the
sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground. This may only become
apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode.
Also 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.
