Field Operations--Implement
Checking Electrical Signal Continuity and Electrode Isolation
It is recommended that you perform the Electrical Signal Continuity and Electrode Isolation test
procedure before first field use (see Maintenance and Service Procedures 1 and 2). While these
tests were made at the factory, there is the possibility a problem developed during shipping.
Performing these tests on the new implement before it becomes dirty, allows you to get familiar
with the process under ideal conditions. It is strongly advised that you perform this test on a routine
basis (every 10 hours of data collection) to ensure you are obtaining reliable data. KEEP
OHMMETER, TEST LOAD AND TEST BOX WITH THE MACHINE AT ALL TIMES.
Equipment pre-mapping check
Prior to operating the implement for the first time, it is important to check the fasteners
– some may
have loosened during shipment. Routine fastener checking should be done weekly during
mapping season and a walk-around check of the implement components should be done each
day.
Unfolding Wings
To unfold the wings, first remove the clip and pin locking the wing in the up position. Hold the
spring and lower the wing. Be careful working around the disk blade, blades are sharp. Once
lowered, lock the wing in the down position.
