11) Enter the weight measured (Figure 26).
12) Press the Enter Key three times to correct the error (Figure 26).
13) Select the rate screen (middle arrow button to the right of the screen).
14) Type in the fertiliser rate you require on the number pad and press Enter.
15) The Control Unit will automatically set the fertiliser rate and display the maximum drilling
speed. If you consider this speed too slow you can wind the handle on the metering unit out
further to allow more product through and repeat this calibration process.
16) To check that the calibration is now correct, repeat the process, the error displayed
should now be between 0% and 4%. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the calibration
process to decrease the percentage error.
15) Once finished,
MAKE SURE
