Operating in the Field
1.
Start tractor.
2.
Put display console (A) in AIR CART "RUN" mode.
3.
Start fan using tractor control.
4.
While moving forward, lower openers into ground using No. 1 tractor control.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent meter drive overload, ALWAYS have fan running before engaging clutches. Meter drives are protected by shear bolts that will shear if meter overloads with product without the fan running.
DO NOT ignore "Low Fan Speed Detected" warning. Stop tractor and verify that fan is turning before engaging clutches.
5.
Turn main drive clutch and independent meter clutches "ON" and seed and/or fertilize a short distance.
6.
Leaving openers in the ground, turn clutches "OFF". Allow hoses to empty; then turn fan "OFF". Stop and shut off tractor.
CAUTION:
To prevent serious injury or death from unexpected machine movement, always shift the transmission to "PARK" and set the brakes when leaving the tractor.
7.
Check product depth behind several openers on each frame section.
8.
Adjust depth control, as necessary, to maintain desired depth. Refer to seeding equipment operator's manual for procedure.
