Press Engage key to activate drive.
Green light above Engage key will illuminate.
NOTE: If you do not move within 10 seconds, the automatic
disengagement feature will disengage the drive. To begin
planting again, you must press the Engage key.
The Console display shows two numbers while
operating: “Set” rate is the rate you tell the system to
plant, and the “Out” rate is the calculated rate based
on the actual rotations of the drive. The “Out” reading
is monitoring the drive system; it isn’t monitoring
population. It verifies that the drive system is
functioning properly.
NOTE: The “Out” readings will normally fluctuate
within 5% of the “Set” rates. This fluctuation is
evidence of the drive system compensating for minor
fluctuations in ground speed.
If “Out” rate varies from the “Set” rate by more than 20%, an
audible alarm will sound.
If Controller is powered directly from the battery or via
unswitched power port, make sure to power Console
off when tractor is shut down, in order to prevent
tractor battery drain.
