1.14 Pre-sowing function

Pre-sowing is a func  on that ensures rota  on of all dosers for about 7 seconds while 
the drill is stopped. This enables to sow places which cannot be sown during driving, 
e.g. a place where it is necessary to reverse-drive 

fi

 rst, turn the pre-sowing on and 

then drive forward. Press the 

START

 key to start the pre-sowing. Pre-sowing is accom-

panied by an acous  c signal during the whole   me the func  on is in opera  on. A  er 
the assembly is set in mo  on, the dosers automa  cally switch to the regula  on mode 
according to the assembly speed.

1.15 Seeding dose

The combined round indicator states informa  on on the set seeding dose in kilograms 
per hectare. This value can be changed by tapping on the numerical value of the see-
ding dose, changing the value in the dialogue window and pressing the 

OK

 key. When 

changing the value during driving, the speed of the dosers motors is changed based on 
the new dose value.
Based on your actual need, you can also add or reduce the dose any  me during opera-

 on.

Controlling the drill hydraulics:

1.16 Hydraulics turning on and off

Pressing this key will turn on all hydraulic controlling func  ons. In case the hydraulics 
are not turned on, none of the hydraulic func  ons controlling keys will be func  onal. By 
pressing the key again, the hydraulics controlling func  ons are turned o

 .

1.17 Drill unfolding

Pressing this key will start the drill unfolding func  on which will be in opera  on for 
a pre-programmed   me. During the pre-programmed   me, the drill remains unfolded 
and a  er the   me elapses, the func  on will automa  cally turn o

 .

1.18 Drill folding

Pressing this key will start the drill folding func  on which will be in opera  on for a pre
-programmed   me. During the pre-programmed   me, the drill remains folded and a  er 
the   me elapses, the func  on will automa  cally turn o

1.19 Left side marker

Pressing the 

 key will start the 

 le    marking func  on which will be in opera  on 

for a pre-programmed   me. A  er the set   me elapses, the func  on will automa  cally 
turn o

1.20 Right side marker

Pressing the 

 key will start the 

 right marking func  on which will be in opera-

 on for a pre-programmed   me. A  er the set   me elapses, the func  on will automa  -
