PRE-OPERATING PREPARATION / 5
PRE-OPERATING PREPARATION
Planters should perform a fill disk for all control channels at every system
startup or a variety/seed-type change. This ensures no voids are left in the
field when starting to plant.
FILL DISK
1. From the Main Work screen, press the Planter Fill Disk button.
2. Raise the implement.
3. With brakes locked and transmission in the park position, start the
engine.
4. Engage hydraulics and run engine at normal speed until hydraulic fluid
is at operating temperature.
Implement will begin to operate after pressing the Start button.
Ensure that all persons and objects are away from the implement
to avoid personal injury.
5. Press the Start button. The seed meters will turn for 1 revolution, then
stop.
6. Pressing the Stop button will also terminate the test.
