Hydraulic Drive Meter Calibration Numbers
These are starting calibration values. They can be rened for your drill and seed using the
Pre-Planting Seed Calibration Process or the In-Field Seed Calibration Process.
1. This test should be done after
completing the INITIAL SETUP on Page 8.
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 eld.(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 drill
openers 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. Refer to Troubleshooting
Section if motors still fail to operate.
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 veries 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 all the way up to maximum speed.
16. Push and hold “-” soft key. Hydraulic motors
slow down to almost a stop.
17. This veries the PWM valve is working
properly. If hydraulic motors do not speed up
or slow down refer to Troubleshooting Section.
18.You are now ready to perform a CAL TEST before
going to the eld.
Pre-Season Test
This test should be done prior to every planting season. You will have to have the imple-
ment hooked to tractor with hydraulics available. The tractor will remain stationary.
