1. Remove the switch blanks (3) from the control box
cover (1).
2. Assemble the wires as illustrated onto the switches
(4). The wiring illustration is shown as you look into the
back of the control box cover (5) and the switches are
shown in the orientation they will be assembled on the
cover (5). Make sure that you keep the orientation cor-
rect.
3. After the terminals are securely tightened onto the
switches, assemble the three switches (4) into the
control box cover. Make sure that you keep the correct
orientation and placement of the switch.
4. Secure the control box cover back onto the control
box. Make sure that you move the excess wire to a va-
cant spot in the box so that the cover can be easily as-
sembled.
5. Pull the 833-040C harness out the back of the control
box and assemble the strain relief (6) onto the cable
by squeezing it with pliers and pushing it into the con-
trol box hole.
Solenoid Control Box Mount
(Units Other Than TS Sprayers)
Refer to Figure 2
Mount the control base (1) in a position above and to the
right of your right leg where your right hand can easily ac-
cess the switches while driving the tractor. This will
generally be by the tractor controls. There are several
brackets included with the control base that can be used to
mount it. The SMV socket (2) can be used so the control
base can be easily removed while the socket is perma-
nently mounted. Use any configuration and combination of
the brackets and hardware to mount the control base in a
position that is acceptable for your tractor.
Hook up the power terminals on your control box with the
red terminal on the (+) positive battery terminal and the
black wire on the (-) negative battery terminal.
IMPORTANT: Power & ground wires must be attached to
battery terminals with the red wire on the positive (+) and
the black wire on the negative (-). Failure to directly at-
tach to battery will cause solenoid valve problems.
Route the battery cable into the cab of your tractor in a way
that will not cause crushing, kinking, or shearing on the
electrical cable.
Hydraulic Valve/Boom Mount
The hydraulic solenoid is mounted on the center section of
your Great Plains 50 or 60 foot Cross Fold Boom. Before
you start to assemble the hydraulic solenoid, it is recom-
mended to park your sprayer in an open, flat area and
assemble the solenoid with the boom unfolded. If you are
assembling the boom, mount the center section onto the
sprayer and then proceed to mount the hydraulic solenoid
before you fold the boom wings.
NOTE: Do not force the control box cover onto the
control box. Orient the wires in such a way that the
cover fits relatively easy on the control box. If you
force the cover onto the control box, you may dam-
age the wiring, switches, or control box.
