RE-CALIBRATING THE BED SPEED
PROGRAMING THE ELECTRONIC
CONTROLS TO YOUR TRACTOR
Each tractor has different flow rates from its hydraulic
system. The electronic controls are programmable to
optimise the performance of the machine depending on the
oil flow that the tractor can deliver.
The following instructions will allow you to programme the
stop position (0) and high speed position (10) of the bed
speed dial. This process will allow maximum bed speed
without compromising the other services the valve block
can provide.
TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION
THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE
FOLLOWED EXACTLY
Turn on the tractor and engage the hydraulic systems.
Set the tractor revs to a normal working RPM.
With the control box off turn the bed speed dial
down to 0.5.
The following buttons must then be pressed & held
down in this order;
I)
BED
FORWARD
II)
LONG
CHOP
III)
ON
Hold the sequence of buttons for 8 seconds until both
the bed forward, and on LED’s illuminate.
Release buttons and the LED’s should flash alternately.
Using the Long Chop
Button to slow down,
and the Short Chop
Button to speed up,
slow the bed down to the point where it just stops.
Press the Off button
to save the slow speed.
You have now programed the electronic controls for its
minimum bed speed.
To programme the control desk for its Maximum speed
repeat the same process again BUT Step 4 should have the
speed dial set to 10 and in Step 7 you should increase the
bed speed to the maximum desired.
Important, if the tractor hydraulic oil flow is less than the
maximum required by the valve (60 litres per minute) then
setting the maximum bed speed to use the full flow of oil
will result in the other valve functions not working when
the bed is operating at maximum speed. The bed speed
may then need to be reduced from maximum to allow
operation of the chute / tailgate functions.
This can be programmed when setting the maximum speed
of the machine by slowing down the maximum bed speed
a small amount before switching off.
However, if full bed speed is required, please be aware that
the other valve functions may be compromised during full
bed speed operation.
