Normal Start-up and Operation
I
t is important to verify that the control console is
set up properly before beginning operations each
day. Refer to Chapter 2 to review the detailed setup
procedures.
A. CONSTANTS: With all booms turned “ OFF” , verify
that the proper distance, flow meter, and boom
width constants are still entered in the console. It
is a good idea to write the constants down in a
convenient location like the space provided on last
page of the manual.
B. APPLICATION RATES: With all booms turned
“ OFF” , the Mode Selector switch in the “ OPER-
ATE” position, and the Display Selector on
APPLICATION RATE, check the current applica-
tion rate setting.
C. ACCUMULATED AREA: If desired, the accumu-
lated acres can be reset to zero by selecting
“ FIELD AREA and/or TOTAL AREA” and holding
the INC/DEC switch down until the display resets
to zero. The area accumulators can be zeroed
independently to track two separate areas. FIELD
AREA can display up to 999.99 Ac., while TOTAL
AREA can display up to 9999 Ac.
D. ACCUMULATED VOLUME: Accumulated volume
can be reset to zero by selecting “ TOTAL AP-
PLIED” while in the OPERATE Mode and holding
down the DEC switch to reset. PRODUCT VOL.
(the count down register) can be set for the load
aboard by using the procedures on page 2-14.
E. The control system is now ready to begin auto-
mated application. Set the Mode Selector switch to
the “ OPERATE” position. Select an appropriate
display using the Display Selector, “ SCAN” for
example.
