OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

§4.1.4 Driving speed

Here, the current driving speed appears, measured via a wheel sensor or taken over from
the tractor electronics.
If the speed measurement fails (e.g. defective sensor), the computer automatically
calculates at the simulation speed, which can be programmed in the

Setting menu

(SETUP

FUNCTIONS).

§4.1.5 Current application rate l/ha

During spraying operation, the display shows the actual application rate in l/ha at the
bottom left. The programmed nominal value is shown on the right. If the control system is
working in automatic operation (see above), nominal and actual values must be about
identical. If the value deviate, refer to the troubleshooting table.

The nominal value can be altered via the arrow keys during spraying operation.
The step width at which the nominal value can be altered by pushing a button can be
altered between 1 and 20 l/ha in the

Setting menu

(SETUP FUNCTIONS).

§4.1.6 Central switching "Spraying"

The bottom left of the display shows whether the central switch for spraying is on

"On"

"Off"

§4.1.7 Remaining distance or remaining area

If the amount has been entered after filling the spray tank (see

Main screen 2

), the

computer calculates how many metres or hectares can still be treated before the tank is
empty. This value is displayed on the right next to the driving speed on the display. In the

Setting menu

(SETUP FUNCTIONS) a choice can be made between display of the

remaining distance in

metres

hectares

§4.1.8 Position of the hydraulic hillside correction

Via the display on the right, the position of the hydraulic hillside correction is shown if the
spray boom is equipped with the corresponding sensor. For example, the display makes
finding the middle position for retraction easier.

§4.1.9 Automatic middle position of the hydraulic hillside correction

When you press the -key while being in

Main screen 1

the hydraulic hillside correction

goes automatically to middle position.

By the hydraulic system with electrohydraulic control (oil circulation) the hillside

correction goes automatically to the middle position

By the hydraulic system with pre-selection switching the pair of solenoid valves for

hydraulic hillside correction is opened. The double-acting hydraulic ventil on the
tractor must be opened in right direction. When the middle position is reached, the
pair of solenoid valves closes automatically. Tuning into the middle position is done
semi-automatic

Note:

When the lockage of the pendulum is closed, the hydraulic hillside correction is blocked.

That means: it can not be controlled by hand and the automatic middle position of the
hydraulic hillside correction is not functioning.

For good functioning of the '

automatic middle position'

and a correct presentation of the

hydraulic hillside correction'

on the display, the appropriate sensor on the sprayer must be

calibrated correctly. The calibration of the sensor is done in the '

setting menu

' (setup

functions) in screen 8.
