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 16
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.
The acremeter counts shaft rotations whenever the shaft
is rotating - normally this is only with the drill lowered and
in motion. The meter is geared to display rotations as
acres, when using factory-specified tires and inflations.
Tally field acres by noting the meter reading prior to, and
after planting. Subtract the starting from the ending
readings.
Shaft Monitor Cab Module
If your drill has the Shaft Monitor option, 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 status indicators
are visible during planting operations.
See “Shaft Monitor Operation” on page 26 for
operations.
