8.2 Automatic System Setup

 All boom sections will move during the automatic install.

 People and equipment must be clear of sprayer boom.

 Ensure the booms have sufficient range to lift fully and are clear of any power lines.

* Some screens that appear in this manual may appear different, depending on the type of display you
have.

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 procedures over standing crop, weeds
or grass. Also, avoid concrete or asphalt surfaces.

Ensure the boom roll suspension system is functioning properly and smoothly. Friction on
wear surfaces can be relieved using lubricants (grease, etc) or adjustment. Properly tuned
suspension systems will optimize UC5™ performance, especially on roll-bias (Active Roll
Control™) systems.

For best results, the hydraulic system should be under a normal load and at a normal working
temperature.

 Start the solution pump and run the sprayer’s engine at a normal working RPM for the

entire setup.

 Cycle all boom sections up and down manually for five minutes to warm the oil.

 For trailed sprayers, ensure any hydraulic flow controls are adjusted for normal field

operation.

 Changing the hydraulic flow controls after or during the system setup will affect the UC5™

performance.

Select Automatic Setup.
