Pre-Season Test
This test should be done prior to every planting season. You will have to have the implement hooked to
tractor with hydraulics available. The tractor will remain stationary.
1. This test should be done after completing the
INITIAL SETUP on page 6.
2. Turn power toggle to ON position, and
RUN/HOLD toggle to HOLD.
3. Enter CAL mode by pushing and holding CAL
soft key until red warning light is steady on.
4. Turn center rotary switch to TEST SPEED. Use
+ or - soft key to adjust speed you plan to run in
the field.
(Example: 5.0 mph)
5. Turn hydraulics on.
NOTE: There is a check valve on the hydraulic
hoses which prevents the motors from
running backwards. However, on initial
start up they may momentarily run
backwards.
6. Push AUTO/MAN soft key so AUTO is displayed
on screen.
7. Make sure all necessary Section toggles are in
the ON position.
8. Put RUN/HOLD switch to RUN. Lower planter to
activate mercury switch. Hydraulic motors should
now be running; if not, make sure hydraulics is
selected in correct direction and Section switches
are on.
9. Now that motors are running, put center rotary
switch on METER RPM and you should have a
rpm reading on the display. Shut off Section
toggle switches one by one and you should
continue to get a rpm reading until the last section
is shut off. This verifies that all shaft sensors and
poppet valves on motors are working.
10. With everything still running, turn all Section
toggles ON that are being used. Switch to HOLD.
11. Push and hold CAL to get out of calibration.
12. Push AUTO/MAN button to enter manual mode.
13. Move center rotary selector to RATE.
14. Switch RUN/HOLD toggle to RUN.
15. Push and hold “+” soft key. Hydraulic motors
should speed up to maximum speed.
16. Push and hold “-“ soft key. Hydraulic motors slow
down to almost a stop.
17. This verifies the PWM valve is working properly.
