Using Contour Swathing
1. Set the Swath Type (SWT) to CON. Set the Contour type (CON) to NRM, FIN, VFN,
or CRS. (Normal, Fine, Very Fine, or Course) These settings control the fineness of
contour recording. For NRM, swaths up to 3 miles in length can be recorded. For FIN,
swaths up to 1.5 miles in length can be recorded. For VFN, swaths up to 0.5 miles in
length can be recorded. For CRS, swaths up to 4 miles in length can be recorded.
The VFN setting is mostly for testing. The NRM setting is used in most agriculture
swathing applications.
2. Contour Operational Mode starts with BEG...CON. Press the SELECT button to start
the first swath and drive as required. The left display will show 1 and the right display
will show 0%, 1%, etc to 100% indicating the percent of available contour swath memory
remaining. For NRM setting, this will indicate 100% at about 3 miles.
3. At the end of the first swath, press the DOWN button. Recording will stop and guid-
ance will be given in either the right or left direction while turning to the second swath
path. While making this turn, note the swath number is flashing. This indicates the
path is not being recorded and is a prompt to press the SELECT button to begin re-
cording swath 2.
4. After the turn, press the SELECT button at the front of swath 2 and follow guidance
indicated that is one swath width away from swath one. During this time, the swath 2
pattern is being recorded and stored. The right display shows offset error as for paral-
lel swathing. Press and hold the MENU button to see the percent of available contour
storage on the right display.
5. At the end of contour swath 2, press the DOWN button to end that swath. While
making this turn, note the swath number is flashing. This indicates the path is not
being recorded and is a prompt to press the SELECT button to begin recording the
next swath. Repeat steps 4-5 for each swath to complete the field.
Note:
Step 4 is optional if Contour Control is configured to the one-button mode.
Step 4 and step 5 are optional if Contour Control is configured to the zero-button mode.
