It is necessary to check the existing
system’s functionality before installing the
UC4+ system.
1. Drive your sprayer onto a flat piece of
land, with unobstructed boom
movement (e.g. no power lines).
2. Test that all boom functions operate
correctly. As you test each function
check it off in Table 3.
It is necessary to test the boom
functions in all directions

IMPORTANT:
Raise/lower all boom sections several
times to warm up the hydraulic
system. Grease all moving parts for
consistent results.
1. Lower each boom and main section
as close to the ground as possible.
2. Set your sprayer at field working
RPM on the throttle and mark this
value in Table 4.
You will need a stopwatch or a
watch that displays “seconds” for
the next step.
3. Raise the LEFT boom from its
extreme LOW position to the very
TOP of its travel. Record the time
this takes in Table 4, “Trial #1” for
“Left UP”.
4. Lower the LEFT boom from its
extreme HIGH position to the
BOTTOM of its travel. Record this
time in Table 4, Trial #1, for “Left
DOWN”.
Be careful when lowering the
booms so they don’t hit the
ground.
5. Similarly, record two more time
trials (Trial #2 & #3) for the LEFT
boom and record in Table 4
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the
RIGHT, MAIN and ROLL functions.
Your sprayer may not have a roll
feature.
7. Average the three trials recorded
for each boom movement and
record this calculation in the
“Average Time” slot in Table 4.
8. These “Average Times” now
represent how quickly your system
can react to manual control. In
Section 4.8, this procedure is
repeated with the UC4+ System
installed for comparison and
troubleshooting purposes.
