7. Verify that the booms are unfolded and set the center rack and both booms within 10 inches [25 cm] of the
set target height.
Note: The default target height is 30 inches [76 cm]. Verify that the booms are not fully raised to the
cylinder stops. If gauge wheels are installed, the target height must be adjusted to 40-45 inches
[101-114 cm] to prevent the wheels from touching the ground during the calibration process.
If boom travel will not go below horizontal or the booms are travel-limited, raise the booms so that
the boom tips are approximately 10 inches [25 cm] above the horizontal position and lower the
center section slightly below the normal spray height.
8. Touch the master power icon at the bottom of the tab to toggle the AutoBoom
system on.
9. Touch the Start Calibration icon displayed above either the left or right boom.
Note: If the machine has an open center hydraulic system, or the type of hydraulic system is
unknown, all calibration procedures should be performed with the engine at the normal
operating RPM.
To stop the calibration at any time, touch the stop calibration icon for the boom.
Note: A calibration progress bar will display at the top of the tab. The calibration may take
several seconds to complete. If the boom fails to calibrate, refer to Chapter 5,
Troubleshooting, and troubleshoot the system.
Center Rack Height Control Calibration (If Equipped)
There are several different stack valve configurations used to control implement center rack functions.
AutoBoom must “learn” which of the solenoids are used to raise and lower booms and center rack. Complete
the following procedure to calibrate the center rack control feature:
1. Complete the calibration procedure for the left and right booms. Refer to the Boom Calibration section on
page 9 to complete the boom calibration process.
2. Touch the Edit icon in the Machine Configuration panel to expand the panel.
3. Locate and select the AutoBoom button. The AutoBoom Features tab will be displayed.
4. Verify that the Center Rack Control option is selected.
Note: Be sure that the required components for center rack control are installed prior to enabling the
center rack control feature.
5. Select the Calibrate tab.
WARNING
Booms will raise and lower automatically and
may do so quickly or suddenly during the
calibration process. To avoid serious injury or
damage to the booms, check the area around
the implement and keep bystanders and
obstructions clear of boom travel during the
AutoBoom calibration process.
