2 OPERATOR SAFETY
DANGER
Always ensure that the UC4+ Spray Height Control
system is powered down or in MANUAL mode:
•Before leaving the operator’s seat
•While the machine is not moving
•When transporting the machine
Under no circumstances should any service work be
performed on the machinery while the UC4+ Spray
Height Control system is in the AUTOMATIC mode.
Before working on any part of the booms:
•Set the UC4+ System to MANUAL mode
•Turn the sprayer engine off
Do not operate this system before:
•Reading and understanding the Operators Manual
•Thoroughly understanding your machine operation
The UC4+ Spray Height Control system will greatly
improve your spraying height accuracy and protect the
boom against damage in a wide variety of field conditions.
However, under some circumstances performance may be
limited. The OPERATOR of the sprayer must remain
ALERT at all times and override the automatic control
when necessary. Refer to the warranty statement in
Section 5 for more details.

3 BASIC UC4+ OPERATION
•Upon power-up a sequence of messages are temporarily displayed on
the control panel LCD screen. If the system is running in metric,
METRIC will be displayed briefly on the screen during set up.

(Figure 1) is displayed.
•To access either the SENSOR DISPLAY or SETUP menus ensure you
are at the Normal Operating Screen.
- Toggle toward the menu you wish to access.
- Adjust the menu settings using the " +/- " switch while the prompt
is displayed.
•After 30 seconds menu prompts will return to the Normal Operating
Screen.
•To return to the Normal Operating Screen toggle and hold the "SETUP
(NO)" switch for two seconds.

in the selected units (cm or inches)
•In MANUAL mode the digits represent average actual boom height in
the selected units

3.4 CHANGING TO AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODE
•From the Normal Operating Screen toggle the control panel "AUTO"
switch to change between MANUAL and AUTO modes.
•In MANUAL mode, the boom may be controlled as usual with the
boom control switches on the sprayer’s multifunction handgrip.
•Operating the sprayer’s boom control switches while in AUTO mode
immediately causes the boom to revert to MANUAL mode.
•The sprayer’s joystick switches override automatic height control on
either the left, right, or both sides
•To return to AUTO mode the "AUTO (YES)" switch must be activated.
•The target average height (Section 3.5) can be adjusted by momentarily
pressing the sprayer’s main lift control switches (main up or main
down).
•Pressing and holding the sprayer’s main up or down switches for more
than two seconds reverts ALL booms (left, right, main and roll) to
MANUAL mode. This is a convenient method for switching to
MANUAL mode when folding for transport
3.5 ADJUSTING THE SETPOINT
The system is in AUTO and can have the
target average height (setpoint) adjusted.
•Use the " +/- " switch in AUTO mode to adjust the target height setting.
•Alternately, adjust the main boom target height by momentarily pressing
the sprayer’s main lift control switch while in AUTO mode.
•Each press of the up/down switch increases/decreases the target height
by one selected unit (cm or inches), respectively
•The smallest target height setting is called the minimum height override.
•Default minimum height settings are factory programmed before
shipping.
