The Jackal has the ability to have 

Preset (Quick) Rates

 

across the bottom of the screen.  

Example 50/60/70 L/ha 

The Step rate allows you to easily up the rate by this 

amount quickly from the front screen. 

Press

Using the 

NAV

 & 

EDIT 

keys, highlight and edit the 

HOLD

 &

 values as described below. 

 

The Slow Hold Speed function is used to avoid 
loss of spray coverage caused by loss of pressure 
when travelling too slow or when reducing the 
target rate below the recommended minimum 
for the nozzles. 

 

If the implement is travelling below this speed 
(but above the minimum hold speed) then flow 
control is regulated as if the implement were 
travelling at the Slow Hold Speed. 

 

NOTE: Slow Hold is an optional function that can 
be set to operate at a minimum speed 
equivalent to the minimum recommended 
pressure for a given target rate (speed-based). 

STOP

: Will simply put the Jackal on hold at a set speed.

(Don’t worry about editing 

the Name for the front 

screen)

 

Press SKIP 

(Don’t worry about

Press NEXT to finalise the 

Wizard and return to the 

front screen

 

This ends the wizard for 

setting up a Jackal with GPS 

speed input.

 

 
Now that you have completed the wizard you will need to check the Jackal is controlling your section 
valves and that the regulating valve is opening in the correct direction.  
 
This can be achieved by standing still and enabling the 

SIMULATE SPEED

 option. 

 
Please Note: 
 

 

The Jackal 

WILL NOT

 allow you operate the section valves without a speed input 

 

 

The Jackal 

WILL NOT 

regulate the flow control valve without speed or flow meter pulse feedback 

o

 

Ensure you have water in the tank for ease of testing.
