Once the Double Headlands C pattern is defined, the field is sprayed using parallel swathing.
BF or SNP swath types can be used as configured.
As the machine crosses headland boundaries in either direction, the center top and bottom
green LED indicate the presence and status of a headland boundary approach. The Head-
land Approach Display shows the distance to near headlands that are in front of the ma-
chine.
Note that the line between DH2 and DH4 might not be parallel to the A-B line. Applicator
ON/OFF signals and Headland Approach Displays are shown when swaths at the end of field
cross this boundary where there is no headland area.
The following steps outline Double Headlands C pattern swathing:
1. If HDL configuration is not already set to DHC, enter the Configuration Mode, go to
SWA main menu, HDL sub-menu, and set HDL to DHC. Exit the Configuration Mode.
2. Enter the field in the direction of the DH1-2 line segment. Determine the best position
and direction for the DH1-2 segment. This may be a fence line or field boundary in
many cases.
3. Clear any previous swath setting and press the MENU button until the RGL 600
display reads “SET...DH1”.
4. Press the SELECT button to set the DH1 mark. Drive along the intended DH1-2 line
segment with the applicator ON. The display will indicate “SET...DH2”. Press the
DOWN button for straight-line guidance as required. This is called a temp DH2.
5. At the end of the DH1-2 line, press the SELECT button and turn the applicator OFF.
The display will read “AUT...DIR” or “SET...DIR” depending on the direction config-
uration (DIR). Turn in the desired direction for the field layout.
6. For manual direction, press the SELECT button. For automatic direction, just drive in
the desired direction. The display will read “D12...offset” and the LED’s show guid-
ance along the inside of the DH1-2 line segment. Notice the top and bottom green
LED’s will go on when the machine passes the DH2 point.
7. Drive along the DH1-2 inside headland path. When the machine is aligned with the
end of the DH1 point, the center top and bottom LED’s will go OFF. When reaching
the position for the A mark, press the SELECT button and the display will read “SET...A”.
8. Turn and position the machine for the A mark. Press the SELECT button to set the A
mark. The display indicates “SET...B”. Press the DOWN button for straight-line
guidance as required. This is called a temp B mark.
9. Drive along the A-B line to the B reference point. Press the SELECT button to set the
B mark. This display indicates “SET...DH3”.
