Test Tractor Convenience Outlet Voltage (Channel 019)

Complete the following check to determine if the convenience outlet provides adequate power to the BaleTrak™ system.

1. Remove the roll of net wrap material from the baler if testing the net actuator voltage. Otherwise, if PTO is engaged with the net actuator extended, net feeds into the empty baler and can damage the pickup or rotary feed system.

2. Start the tractor engine.

3. Press and hold the COUNTER key (A) while turning the monitor-controller ON.

4. Continue to hold the COUNTER key and press the PLUS key (D) until CH019 appears in the digital display.

5. Release the COUNTER key and view the voltage readout.

6. Using the EXTEND key (C), extend the twine or net actuator slightly.

7. Push and hold the RETRACT key (B) until the actuator stalls out in the fully retracted position. Note the voltage displayed during the first 4 seconds after stalling.

   Convenience Outlet	Voltage (Minimum)	9.7 V

8. If the voltage is less than specification, see your John Deere dealer for the proper convenience outlet kit. The proper kit must be used to provide a convenience outlet with the proper wire size and a 30 A circuit breaker. When installing this kit, connect the power and ground wires directly to the battery terminal clamp bolts. (See TRACTOR CONVENIENCE OUTLET in Preparing the Tractor section.)

   The convenience outlet is wired directly to the battery. Turning off the tractor ignition key does not disconnect power to the monitor.

9. Turn the monitor-controller OFF. Turn the tractor ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

   Disconnect the power cable from the monitor when working around the knife arm. Turning off the tractor ignition key does NOT turn off power to the monitor.
