The calibration will run – you will see a countdown on the screen which is
equivalent to 100 meters of travel at 10km/h.
When the calibration stops, weigh the grain you collected and enter the
amount on the screen with how many rows it was collected from.
There is an expected weight shown on the screen with a rough guide to
how much you can expect, but the actual value can vary quite a lot.
Make
sure that the weight is entered in the correct units after the number of
rows has been selected.
Section 4 – Seeding/Operation:
Step 1) Go to the “Start Seeder” screen – note: when the machine is lifted
out of the ground you will see a warning on the screen saying “Tyne Up!”
(See below). When you lower the machine into the ground, this warning
will disappear and sowing can commence. Ensure the hopper is filled with
the calibrated products.
Step 2) Press the “Start” button on the screen to start sowing. The display
will show the distance covered in hectares and the amount of product that
has been distributed for each bin in the current run. Seeding will
automatically stop when the machine stops (or drops below 3km/h) to
conserve product. You can also use the up and down arrows to adjust the
rate on the go (in 1kg/ha increments). There is a pause button for each bin
to pause only that bin (if you only want to sow seed from Bin 1 for
example)
