PLUS
®
system.
1.
Start tractor engine.
2.
Press and hold DEERE key (A) while setting selector switch to TWINE symbol to turn monitor-controller ON.
3.
Continue to hold DEERE key and press PLUS key until "CH 15" appears in the digital display.
4.
Release DEERE key and view voltage readout.
5.
Using EXTEND key, extend twine actuator slightly.
6.
Push and hold RETRACT key until actuator stalls out in the cutoff position and note voltage displayed. Avoid holding RETRACT key after actuator stalls out for more than 5 seconds.
7.
If voltage is less than 9.7 install Convenience Outlet Kit AE50549. Only this kit should be used to provide a convenience outlet due to its wire size, lack of splices and circuit breaker included in this kit. When installing this kit, attach power and ground wires directly to battery terminal clamp bolts, only. (See TRACTOR CONVENIENCE OUTLET in Preparing the Tractor section.)
8.
Set monitor-controller selector switch to OFF (centered) position. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.
