Machine Operation
JUMP START SENSOR
The jump start sensor is intended to reduce the seed
gap when starting from a stop with the planter in the
ground. For the jump start sensor to work as intended,
the planter speed sensor needs to be set within 1/8” of
the pick-up disc. The planter speed sensor also needs
to be calibrated properly. Refer to the ISOBUS manual
for calibration instructions.
If the planter speed sensor is set-up properly, the start-
up gap should be no more than 4 feet.
If no gap is desired, there are two options for
eliminating the gap completely:
1. Use the jump start button available on the
ISOBUS display. Pressing this button will start
turning the drives. Once a speed source is
acquired, it will take over control. Refer to the
ISOBUS manual for further instructions on the
jump start button.
2. Pick the planter up, back up 10 - 12 feet,
set the planter down and resume planting. The
section control will turn the drives on at the
correct time.

Jump Start Sensor and Pick-up Disc
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 - 8 mph (3 - 13 kph). Higher ground speeds can cause
more variation in seed spacing. Speeds above 6.5 mph (10.5 kph) are typically not recommended.
NOTICE: Always raise planter out of ground when making sharp turns or backing up.
Normal field planting operation requires use of tractor's hydraulic control to raise and lower planter frame when
making field turnarounds.
NOTICE: Operate row markers in float position to prevent damage to row markers.
Operate row markers with ISOBUS control or tractor's hydraulic control. After markers are lowered to ground, move
hydraulic control to operate markers in float position. Marker speed is controlled with flow control valves located in
planter hitch valve block. One valve controls raise speed and other valve controls lower speed of both markers. See
“Row Marker Speed Adjustment” on page 2-35 and “Row Marker Cable Adjustment” on page 2-36 .
