5. Press Engage key to activate drive. Green light above Engage key will
illuminate. After 20 seconds of no speed signal, drive will disengage. This is
to help prevent inadvertent entanglement in planter drive mechanism. To
restart drive after it has disengaged, press Engage key.

The Console display shows two numbers while operating: “Set” rate is the
rate you tell the system to plant, and the “Out” rate is the calculated rate
based on the
actual rotations of the drive. The “Out” reading is monitoring
the drive system
; it isn’t monitoring population. It verifies that the drive
system is functioning properly. Note: The “Out” readings will normally
fluctuate within 5% of the “Set” rates. This fluctuation is evidence of the drive
system compensating for minor fluctuations in ground speed.
7.
If “Out” rate varies from the “Set” rate by more than 20%, an audible alarm will
sound.
8. If Controller is powered directly from the battery or via un-switched power
port, make sure to power Console off when tractor is shut down, in order to
prevent tractor battery drain.
