Mechanical Connections
Hose Package Support
To prevent hoses and wiring from being damaged by the tractor wheels
or the PTO shaft, all hoses, cables and wires are held by the hose package
support fitted to the sprayer platform.
The bracket (A) is for the storing of hydraulic and electric connectors etc.
when the sprayer is disconnected from the tractor. The height of the
bracket can be adjusted by the means of the bolts (B).
˜
ATTENTION! Check that the length of the hoses and cables are
long enough in tight turns.
˜
ATTENTION! A sprayer with steering requires more slack in the cables. Make sure that the hoses and cables are long
enough in tight turns when fully steered.
SafeTrack Potentiometer Connection
When connecting the SafeTrack sprayer to the tractor, it is important to
set up the front potentiometer on the drawbar correctly. The
potentiometer must be connected to the tractor with the 2 supplied
chains.
To ensure a high precision:
•
The chains must be parallel and horizontal.
•
The tractor hitch point may not have any sidewards movement.
Procedure when connecting the sprayer to the tractor:
1.
Connect the sprayer.
2.
Drive forward to ensure the sprayer follows the tractor in a straight line, and then stop.
3.
Connect the two chains for the potentiometer, while ensuring the transverse potentiometer bar is perpendicular to
the drawbar. The chains must be parallel and horizontal, and tightened so that the torsion levers (A) are vertical.
4.
Enter the controller menu. Check if the front potentiometer is reading 2.50 Volts in center position.
HC 6500 / ISOBUS VT: [Menu 4.5.4.6 Track sensor test]. Check if the front sensor reading is 2.50 Volts.
5.
If the voltage reading is not correct, then adjust the chain connection until voltage = 2.50 Volts.
Allowable deviation is ±0.05 Volts.
6.
Fine-tuning is carried out by loosening the screws for the potentiometer.
