Operating the Control Panel
with Normal Parameter Settings
•
Engage the parking brake.
•
Turn the ignition to the ON position.
•
Turn the Tasseltrol Control Panel ON.
•
Press the Auto/Manual Switch in the
DOWN (Manual) position.
NOTE: At this time, the display will read
“MANUAL” in addition to other
information identifying the control
panel.
•
Press the individual row switches for up
or down movement. An arrow on the dis-
play will indicate direction of each lift.
NOTE: “P” indicates pressure, UP is only
available on “o-type” machines, and
UP/DOWN are available on “p and
c-type” machines.
•
If the Auto/Manual Switch is left in the
AUTO position when the unit is first
started, the display will tell you to
“SELECT MANUAL”. After you have
selected MANUAL, switch back to the
AUTO position.
•
To override the system, press the
desired LIFT UP Switch to raise the
attachment. When the switch is
released, the system will revert back to
AUTO mode.
•
If the ignition is left on and the Auto/Man-
ual Switch is left in the AUTO position,
the down coils on the electro-hydraulic
valve will lose power after approximately
45 seconds. To reactivate, press the
Auto/Manual Switch from AUTO to MAN-
UAL, then back to AUTO.
•
The control panel is set up with a feature
that if a unit loses contact during opera-
tion in AUTO mode, the unit will auto-
matically rise. If this should occur, switch
to MANUAL mode and determine cause
for the malfunction.
Short Corn Operation
When operating the LS System, always
select MANUAL when first entering the field.
Once you have determined your operating
speed and cutting/pulling depth, select
AUTO. When you come to an area where the
corn is very short, such as a low spot in the
field, you may want to switch to the MANUAL
position until you reach taller corn.
Always switch to the MANUAL position
before you reach the end rows (see previous
illustration). This will allow the cutter or puller
heads to maintain their cutting or pulling
height when re-entering the field. You may
then switch back to AUTO.
NOTE: You may choose to use the All Up/
Hold function instead of switching to
manual. This function will raise all
the detasseling heads in one motion.
Additional Features
To temporarily lock a lift up, press and
hold the LIFT UP Switch for the
corresponding lift while switching from
MANUAL to AUTO mode. The display will
show “L” for that lift, which indicates that it is
locked and will not move down automatically.
