3.0 OPERATION
The TASC console is designed to operate automatically. It accurately applies products, according to the instruc-
tions it receives from the operator. Before applying products, it is important to verify that the proper accumula-
tors are zeroed, and that the proper calibration numbers are entered in the console.
3.1 NORMAL START UP AND OPERATION
3.1.1 CALIBRATION NUMBERS AND CONSTANTS
With all boom sections OFF, check to see that the proper calibration numbers and constants are entered in the
console. Pay particular attention to the density factors. Refer to the calibration section of the manual for specific
help.
3.1.2 APPLICATION RATES
With all boom sections OFF, and the MODE SELECTOR switch in the SET-UP position, review the application
rates for each control channel. Remember to check the alternate rates also.
3.1.3 ACCUMULATED AREA
The area accumulators can be reset to zero by selecting AREA and holding the DEC switch down until the
display resets to zero. There are two accumulators, one in the OPERATE mode and one in the SET-UP mode.
The accumulators are zeroed independently. Keep track of field area in OPERATE/AREA and keep track of
total area in SET-UP/AREA.
3.1.4 ACCUMULATED AMOUNTS
Check the accumulated total discharge from each channel by viewing CARRIER, VOL. APPLIED or L &
CHEMICALS, VOL. APPLIED, while in the OPERATE mode. Use the DEC switch to reset to zero.
3.1.5 OPERATE
The TASC system is ready to start applying. Set the MODE SELECTOR switch to OPERATE. Turn ON the
proper product switches. Select an appropriate display function, SCAN for example.
3.1.6 CHECK THE VEHICLE
Make sure the hydraulics (or liquid) pumps are engaged and operating normally.
3.1.7 START APPLYING
Drive the vehicle toward the application area and turn booms ON to start applying. TASC automatically controls
application of the selected channels. Area and amounts applied will begin to accumulate. The console will
display actual application rates.
