40 / SYSTEM OPERATION
AUTO MODE
Auto mode automatically enables and disables individual planter sections
utilizing a GPS signal as previously planted areas or boundaries are
approached. As planted areas and boundaries are approached, the Auto
Section Control Main Menu screen indicates which outputs turn on and off
and the row control switch module/clutch folding module indicator lights
automatically turn on and off. Sections can be forced OFF in Auto mode.
IMPORTANT: If using boundary files for Auto Section Control, pay
close attention to the first pass around the boundaries
to ensure outside clutches perform correctly. If the
boundary is drawn a little tight, outside clutches may
turn off when a percent of the section width is outside
the boundary based on the side-to-side overlap set at
the System Setup screen. To correct, run outer pass in
Manual mode and widen boundary file in PC software.
This scenario is typically prevalent when using WAAS.
NOTE: Pressing a section indicator
button represents what action
will occur when pressed not the
current action.
