When the START key is engaged, the machine will become
operational. All necessary precautions must be taken to ensure
user safety. Failure to practice all necessary caution may result in
serious injury or death.
Hoppers are assumed to be empty for this calibration. If they are
loaded, material will be dispensed onto the ground.
To perform the Control Channel Valve Calibration:
1. Move the implement to the “raised” position.
2. Apply the tractor brakes and lock in the applied position.
3. Put the transmission in “park” or in a locked, neutral position.
4. Start the tractor and engage the hydraulic system, i.e. PTO or auxiliary
lever.
5. Run the engine at normal operating speed until the hydraulic fluid is at
normal operating temperature.
6. Press the Start button.
7. Turn the master switch to the ON position.
8. The valve calibration will immediately start.
9. Keep the hydraulics engaged until the calibration is complete. The
calibration may take a minute up to several minutes. Each calibration
step is monitored on the lower left corner of the display.
10. When the calibration is complete, the control shuts down automatically.
All calibration data is automatically stored.
