Electrical Control System
Mount the control box (item 1, fig 4) securely inside the tractor cab in a position
where it is comfortable to operate when seated. Connect the machine control
harness between the control box and machine ensuring it is safely routed into the
tractor cab. Connect the control box power supply cable to the tractor’s 12V d.c.
electrical plug (if fitted) or directly to the tractor battery, blue lead to negative (-)
brown lead to positive (+).
The electrical equipment should only be connected to
a 12V d.c. supply.
Do not leave or store the control box outside in the open and always
disconnect the control box from the tractor electrical supply when not in
use, so avoiding the possibility of draining the battery.
Control for the major functions of the Megastar Gen-2 are provided electronically by
the switches mounted on the control box. The function of each switch is listed below.
Hydraulic Drawbar (optional)
The hydraulic drawbar push button activates/deactivates the hydraulically damped
drawbar system. The LED is illuminated when the system is switched on.
Digger Share Raise/Lower
The 3 position spring toggle switch manually raises/lowers the digger assembly
increasing/decreasing the depth of the shares below the soil. Releasing the switch to
the central position leaves the share depth at the present setting. Setting the switch
to the locked lower position enables the depth ram to free float.
Auto-Depth
With the digger share switch set in the lower position, the push button
activates/deactivates the digger share auto-depth system. The share depth is
automatically adjusted by the movement of the depth roller. The LED is illuminated
when the system is switched on. Operating the manual digger share raise/lower
switch will override the auto-depth system. The auto-depth indicator lights show
when the depth sensors are operating.
