WIDTH: To calibrate the implement width the nurse tank
must NOT be connected to the
system. Turn on valve switch.Use
the "+" and "-" switches to
adjust the number to the
working width of your
tool bar in inches
(thousandths of meters).
SET
TING TOOL BAR WIDTH:
In order to accurately
measure the pounds (kg) of “N” applied per acre (hectare), it is
important to determine the correct “working” width. The
“working” width is the width of ground being affected by any
operation. This should be measured to the nearest inch
(millimeter).
Your “working” width will be the number of knives times the
knife spacing in inches (meters). For example, if you have 8
knives spaced at 30 inches, the working width is 240 inches.
