Boom does not appear to be sufficiently level after System Setup

Possible Cause(s)

Suggested Solution(s)

a)

Sensitivity (

Sensi

)

setting is low

a-1)

Check the average nozzle height on LCD
screen in MANUAL mode.

a-2)

If the displayed heights differ from the
target heights (setpoints), check

Sensi

setting and adjust it, if necessary.

NOTE: The default tolerate distance between the

actual nozzle heights and the target heights is
±6cm (±2.5 inches) at

Sensi

setting of 5.

b)

Improper System
Setup

b-1)

Repeat the Automatic System Setup
(Section 8.2 of the UC4+ Operators
Manual).

b-2)

Confirm sensor height readings manually
by referring to “Calibrating the Sensor’s
Height Reading (Zero Height)” in the
UC4+ Operators Manual.
