Norac UC7-BC-NT04A Installation guide

  • Hello! I have reviewed the NORAC UC7 Boom Height Control System Installation Manual, which includes the Nitro 4000 and 5000 Series and the New Holland Front Mount Boom. This manual provides detailed instructions on hydraulic, electronic, and sensor installation, including the procedure for bleeding air from the system and setting up the software. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about this system or its installation.
  • What is the maximum hydraulic pressure?
    Is it recommended to use dielectric grease on electrical connections?
    What should be applied to stainless steel hardware to prevent galling or seizing?
    What is the rated supply voltage for the system?
