WARNING!:
•

ALL BOOM SECTIONS NEED TO MOVE.
•
PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAR OF
ALL BOOMS.
•
MAKE SURE ALL BOOMS HAVE ROOM TO LIFT
FULLY AND ARE CLEAR OF POWER LINES.
6.1.1
STEP 1: Prepare the Equipment (1)
Unfold the sprayer in a location that is relatively level,
and where the sensors are over bare soil or gravel.
Do not conduct the System Setup or
ReTune
procedure over
standing crop, or tall weeds/grass.
6.1.2
STEP 2: Prepare the Equipment (2)
Check the pads between the sprayer boom and the boom
carrier frame to ensure no friction because of wear. Use
grease or other lubricants, if necessary.
This is important and will increase the UC4+ Spray Height
Control system performance significantly, especially on Active
Roll systems.
6.1.3
STEP 3: Prepare the Equipment (3)
Start the solution pump and run the sprayer’s engine at
a normal working RPM for the entire setup.
Make sure that you can manually adjust the height of all your
booms. If your manual controls do not work normally, check
the UC4+ Installation Manual that came with your kit for
troubleshooting information.
For best results, the hydraulic system should be under a normal
load and at a normal working temperature. An effective way
to warm the oil is to cycle all boom sections up and down
manually for 5 minutes. Longer warm up times may be
required in cold weather. For pull-type sprayers, ensure any
hydraulic flow controls are adjusted for normal field operation.
NOTE: Changing the flow controls during or after System
Setup will affect UC4+ operation.
