b. From the Run screen, open the product application rate window, and highlight the appropriate

product. Select Manual control mode.

c. Switch the Master Switch on.

d. Press the up button one time. Now press the down button one time. If the drive is not turning, the

Zero Flow Offset is likely to be too low.

Solution:

a. Turn the Master Switch off. Enter a manual ground speed and create a new region.

b. Increase Zero Flow Offset by 2.

c. From the Run screen, open the product application rate window, and highlight the appropriate

product. Select Manual control mode.

d. Switch the Master Switch on.

e. Press the up button one time. Now press the down button one time. The drive should be turning. If

not, repeat this procedure starting with Step b.

Error Message: Hydraulic drive not shutting off properly, or minimum controllable speed is greater than

specified.
Possible Cause: Zero Flow Offset is set too high.

Confirmation Technique:

a. Turn the Master Switch off. Enter a manual ground speed and create a new region.

b. From the Run screen, open the product application rate window, and highlight the appropriate

product. Select Manual control mode.

c. Switch the Master Switch on.

d. Press the up button one time. Now press the down button three times. If the drive is still turning, the

zero flow offset is likely to be too high.

Solution:

a. Turn the Master Switch off. Enter a manual ground speed and enter a new region.

b. Reduce Zero Flow Offset by 2.

c. From the Run screen, open the product application rate window, and highlight the appropriate

product. Select Manual control mode.

d. Switch the Master Switch on.

e. Press the up button one time. Now press the down button three times. The drive should not be

turning. If it is, repeat this procedure, starting with step b.

Note: Zero Flow Offset should never be less than 25. If 25 still seems as if this number is too high, there must
be some other problem. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.

Error Message: “Drive Out of Synch Error Drive #”

Possible Cause: Not enough hydraulic fluid is flowing to the seed meter.

Solution: Examine the stepper seed drive’s hydraulic components for restrictions. Make

sure the tractor’s hydraulic outlet is turned on. Make sure the hydraulic flow settings are
correct.

Error Message: “Drive Stalled Drive #”

Possible Cause: The hydraulic drive motor has stopped rotating.

Solution: Check the stepper seed motor to see if it is restricted from turning, and that the

hydraulic drive is working.
