Slow Hold Speed
The Slow Hold Speed function is used to avoid loss of spray coverage caused by loss of
pressure when travelling too slow or when reducing the target rate below the recommended
minimum for the nozzles.
If the implement is travelling below this speed (but above the minimum speed) then flow
control is regulated as if the implement were travelling at the Slow Hold Speed.
NOTE:
Slow Hold is an optional function that can be set to operate at a minimum speed
equivalent to the minimum recommended pressure for a given target rate (speed-based).
To calibrate speed-based Slow Hold:
1.
Exit to the Front Screen and start spraying in AUTO mode at normal speed, then slow down until
nozzle pattern begins to deteriorate.
2.
Take note of the ground speed when this happens and use this point for Slow Hold Speed calibration.
3.
Navigate back to this menu and highlight Slow Hold Speed.
4.
Adjust to set the desired hold speed (km/h).
Operating with Slow Hold active will mean the product is being over applied
and may cause damage to crop!
