Spraying a field

Fig. 101

Let's consider to wish to spray field by parallel lines,
but only after spraying field borders.

• Switch 

Skipper LT on (par 6.1).

After self-diagnosis routine, system asks if you wish to continue a previous job (Fig. 101).
Press 

ESC

 to start a new spraying job.

• Select guidance mode you wish to use during spraying job: execute function 

 (par. 8.2.2).

• Set at the beginning of field to spray (Fig. 102).

• Start spraying by working the relevant activation command according to system in use:

press 

USER

 key and enable spraying job on machine.

• Start driving along field border. During this path, message 

Mark A?

 

is displayed.

Fig. 102

marking Points a and b

• While driving field border you will mark two points A and B

(as described under par. 8.3.1 - function

).

This step is essential to allow Skipper LT to guide you, during the job, along 
tracks parallel to the reference one, obtained by marking points A and B.

We recommend that you mark A and B at the ends of a straight 

length  as  long  as  possible  and  while  vehicle  is  moving:  the 

longer the marked length across points A and B, the lower the 

error caused by your deviation while driving.

Fig. 103

• Once straight line A/B (

t0

) is tracked, the whole field could be sprayed 

along tracks parallel to it (Fig. 103), following the reference tracks that will 
be displayed (Fig. 104).
