2.

 

Connect the UC4+ power cable (

C10

) and 

sensor trunk cable (

C01

) to the UC4+ 

Control Panel (

E01

) (see

 Figure 41

). 

 Ensure the UC4+ Control Panel’s 

power is OFF for the remaining 
installation.  (Bottom of switch 
pressed IN).

 

3.

 

Plug the 3-pin connector on 

C10

 into the 

cab’s power bar. 

4.

 

Route the free ends of 

C10

 and 

C01

 along 

the side of the cab post and under the floor 

mat. 

 

Figure 42 – Hole under Floor Mat 

5.

 

Plug the 2 pin tower on 

C10

 into the 2 pin 

shroud on the roll bias cable (

C70)

6.

 

Plug in the 6-pin Tower on 

C10

 to the 6-pin 

Shroud on the valve extension cable (

C04

). 

 

C04 comes with one connector 
(M16) unassembled to allow the 
cable to be run through a hole in the 
floor under the steering column. To 
assemble this connector (M16), refer 
to the drawing in Section 5.4. The 
pins require a special tool to remove 
them if you make an error. 

 

The cables may also be routed 

through the rear window of the cab. 

7.

 

Route the free ends of 

C01

C04

 and 

C70 

to the rear of the sprayer near the sprayer 
valve block.  Run the cables along the 
sprayer frame with the JD harness. 

  The hole in the floor may be covered 

by a plate, or a grommet may be 
installed in the hole. They can be 
reinstalled after the wiring is 
complete.  NORAC supplies a 
grommet (M13) for the hole if one 
does not exist.
