gearboxes
are set:
• above “10” if the final drive range gears are in
High range mode, or
• above “80” if the final drive range gears are in
Low range mode.
To change variable rate gearbox and final drive
range see “Setting Material Rates” on page 56. If
set to “0”, operating the hand crank may fail to
clear the meters of seed.
