Options Setup
Prior to first use, install any optional equipment that was
not factory- or dealer-installed.
Even if factory- or dealer-installed, some items may need
setup for your specific requirements.
Acremeter Installation
Refer to Figure 19
The acremeter
may be supplied from the factory in a
separate carton, to minimize risk of shipping damage.
Check to see if it has already been installed by your
dealer. It is located on the outside end of the upper wheel
arm pivot shaft
. It may be installed on either the left or
right gauge wheel.
If not already installed:
1. Slide the spacer tube onto the shaft.
2. Slide the shaft adaptor onto the shaft, aligning its
cross-pin hole with the hole in the shaft.
3. Insert the clevis pin through the adaptor and shaft
and secure with cotter pin .
4. Screw the threaded end of the meter into the
1 ⁄
2
-20 tapped hole in the adaptor .
Tighten the threaded end only enough to prevent it from
working loose from normal vibration. In use, there is no
torque or tension that might tend to unscrew it.
See “Acremeter Operation” on page 30.
Seed Monitor Cab Module
If your drill has the optional seed monitor, the cab
module may already have been installed by your dealer.
If not, consult the installation instructions included with
the option kit, and mount the module in a convenient
location.
If the cab is particularly noisy, or the operator customarily
wears a noise-cancelling headset, the alarms may not be
audible. Mount the module where the controls and status
indicators are visible during planting operations.
See the separate DICKEY-john manual for initial setup of
the seed monitor.
Speed Sensor Installation
The optional seed monitor requires a speed input in
order to determine seeding rate. The sensor is ordered
separately, and may be a magnetic pickup, or a radar,
mounted on the drill or on the tractor. Consult the
documentation supplied with the sensor.
