Clutch/Point Row Operation
Prior to first use, the controller module must be installed
in the tractor cab. See “Install Clutch Switch Module in
Cab” on page 106.
During normal full-swath planting, the console requires
no attention; all switches except Pump are On.
Common tasks requiring switch changes are:
• Calibration
• Point Row planting.
Refer to Figure 34
Normal Full Pass
1. Set Master switch ON (up), and Pump OFF.
Set all sections ON (up).
Check that corresponding lamps are on.
2. Height switch automatically energizes clutches when
row units are lowered.
Point Row
3. Turn desired sections off as non-planting regions are
reached.
4. Turn them back on before commencing next full-
width pass.
See also see “Clutch Troubleshooting” on page 59.
Calibration
In order to work at a comfortable height, the drill is nor-
mally lowered for calibration. If power is on, the clutches
will be engaged, preventing manual operation of the
metering system with the calibration crank.
For calibration of a drill section, set the Master switch
down to center-OFF. This disengages all clutches.
Refer to the Seed Rate Manual for details on calibration.
