Radar Calibration

IMPORTANT: Perform calibration in the field under seeding conditions. Inflate all tires to specifications given in operator's manuals. Do not inflate to level given on tire sidewall.

Accurate system performance is dependant upon accurate radar calibration.

Some radars are integrated into tractor system. Calibrate these according to tractor operator's manual.
