3.3 List of Parts This kit is to be used when installing the Active Roll Control option with existing John Deere installations that have a valve block that was purchased after December of 2010. These valve blocks require a 4-bolt expansion block.

4 Position Sensor Installation 1. Remove the rubber bumpers on both ends of the roll frame (Figure 3). Bumper Figure 3: Rubber Bumper Location 2. The position sensor (E06) should be mounted such that the largest amount of travel of the sensor can be utilized without exceeding the travel limit. The sensor install length is 17” (430mm) center to center with ±3.5” (±90mm) travel recommended.
4. Mount the brackets (B09) as shown in Figure 5. Install two (2) cable ties per bracket. Figure 5: Bracket Mounting (Looking from the Rear) 5. Install the base end of the position sensor with the cable facing the center of the sprayer in the lowest hole of the bracket possible without making contact with the boom frame. Use the mounting hardware as shown in Figure 6. Bolt Collar Nut Nut Figure 6: Mounting Hardware 6.

5 Hydraulic Installation Ensure all pressure has been bled from the system before disconnecting any lines or fittings. Hydraulic pressure will exist on the wing tilt circuits unless the wings are being supported by other means. The hydraulic installation may be performed with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders fully extended. Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC UC5 system warranty.
5.2 Expansion Block Assembly 1. Loosen the existing 2-station valve block so that it can be moved and/or twisted for the installation of the expansion block. 2. Remove the four 4MBP plugs from the 2 station valve block. 3. Coat the four o-rings in hydraulic oil and install them into the expansion block. Ensure the o-rings are seated properly. 4. Attach the expansion block to the 2 station block using the included spring washers and bolts. 5. Tighten the bolts to 31 ft-lbs (42 Nm).
5.3 Roll Cylinder Installation 1. Remove the link arm (black square tube) connected between the parallel lift frame and roll frame. See Figure 10 for the link arm location. Link Arm Position Figure 10: John Deere Link Arm Location (looking towards rear of sprayer) 2. Remove the lower link bolt and nut. 3. Roll the intermediate frame (where the link is still attached) counterclockwise until the upper link pin can be accessed.
5. Loosen the plastic port plugs and extend the cylinder to line up the hole in the intermediate frame and the cylinder. 6. Install B10 from the rear of the sprayer through the intermediate frame and the cylinder adding a mounting plate between both sides of the cylinder and the frame. Add the final plate to the front side of the intermediate frame. Figure 12: Upper Pin Installation 7. Using the 3/8” drill bit (M10), center the rear plate and pin on the intermediate frame.
10. In some cases, the bracket has failed at the weld shown in Figure 15. It is recommended that all sprayers with roll control add weld to the existing bracket to prevent failure. Some sprayers from 2005 and newer already have gussets added at the factory. Figure 15: Roll Cylinder Mount Weld Locations 11. Install the 6MB-4MOR (F12) fittings into the cylinder. 12. Install the 4MOR-4FORX90 (F14) fitting onto the cylinder fitting at the cap end of the cylinder.
5.4 Hydraulic Plumbing From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 1. After the NORAC valve is mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 2. 2. Remove the Pressure (P) and Tank (T) lines from the NORAC valve block. 3. Attach the 6FORXR-6MORT (F10) fitting to the pressure and tank ports on the NORAC valve block. 4.
6. Route the secondary tank line (H78) to the inlet on the sprayer’s hydraulic in-line filter and use a 6FORXR-6MORT tee fitting (F10) to tee it in (Figure 17).
Hose H78 Tee Fitting (F10) In-line Filter Figure 18: Secondary Tank Line (H78) (teed into the tank return near the in-line filter) The load-sense return line (also teed into the in-line filter) has an orifice between the fittings. Ensure the load sense is located so it will not restrict flow of the secondary tank line (H78). Illustration A shows the original plumbing of the load sense return and orifice. B and C show two options for installation of the tee fitting.
7. Install hoses H72 to the roll cylinder that was previously installed. Route the hoses to the NORAC valve block. 8. Connect the hose attached to the rod end of the cylinder to the “B” port of the expansion block. 9. Connect the hose attached to the cap end of the cylinder to the “A” port of the expansion block.
6 Electrical Installation 1. Locate the valve module installed on the NORAC valve block. Remove the plugs installed in positions 7 and 8. 2. Connect the 2 pin connector on cables C10 into positions 7 and 8 on the valve module. Connect the other end of cables C10 to the 2 pin connectors on the NORAC expansion block (V70). 3.
Figure 22: Electrical Installation Only the components shown in black are included in this kit.
7 Software Setup 1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The display terminal does not need to be powered on for the original boom function switches to operate. Unfold the booms and raise/lower each boom and the main section. Confirm that the cabling and hoses are agreeable to the entire range of motion. 2. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper installation. 3.
8 System Maintenance For good performance in corners, when driving over terraces or through ditches at an angle, or in hard steer situations it is important to do the following: 1. The Teflon sliding pads on the boom must not grab in dynamic situations (corners, terraces etc). See the photos below for the location of the sliding pads. Apply grease to the complete surface of all sliding pads. Manually rotate the boom (by pushing on the ends) to access the entire surface of the pads when greasing. 2.
