Fan Field Operation

1. Unfold the implement (page 30).
2. Set the Fan/Fold circuit lever to neutral.

Refer to Figure 54

3. Set the fan shut-off valve to ON/open.
4. With the tractor engine at low rpm, slowly Extend the

lever for the Fan/Fold circuit. Bring the fan up to rec-

ommended speed (page 82). Let the fan warm up for

15 minutes before planting.

5. Lower the drill 1.5 - 3m (5-10ft) before planting is to

begin. It takes a few seconds for seed to travel from

the meters to the rows.

6. Leave the fan running during field turns. Meter drive

is shut off when the openers are raised.

7. At the end of application, raise openers. Stop mate-

rial flow before shutting off the fan.

8. Shut off the fan by carefully moving the circuit lever

to Float or Neutral. Avoid moving the lever into

Retract. The fan does not stop instantly. A check

valve in the fan circuit locally recirculates oil until the

blades coast to a stop.

Marker Operation (Option)

Dual markers are optional on the NTA607/2007HD. See

“
