Boom Frame Roll Sensor 
Mounting 

1.

 

Use the supplied hardware to mount 
the boom frame roll sensor (

E04

) as 

shown in 

Figure 15

.   

When mounting the boom frame roll 
sensor follow these guidelines: 

a)

 

To prevent bending the bracket, 

ensure bolts are placed as close 
together as possible (minimize 

C

 in 

Figure 15

). 

b)

 

Be sure to use the roll sensor 
without the temperature probe 
(

E04

). 

c)

 

When the boom is centered (not 
rolled over) the roll sensor should 
be level with respect to the sprayer 
chassis. 

d)

 

It is best to mount the roll sensor to 
the left hand trapeze link (when 
looking from the rear of the 
sprayer). 

e)

 

The roll sensor AMP (circular) 

connector 

MUST exit towards 

the right hand wing

 (when 

looking from the rear of the 
sprayer).

Mounted to a Trapeze Link 

2.

 

Cable-tie the sensor connector to the 
frame with enough slack to allow the 
link to rotate. 

 

Make sure the bracket does not 

collide with any parts of the 
sprayer when the boom rotates.  
Also ensure there is enough slack 
to allow the roll sensor to rotate.
