To adjust "Offset" knob;

STRAIGHT ROWS (A): Adjust "Offset" knob (B) to center machine on row. This will require minimal adjustment.

NOTE: If "Offset" knob has been fully adjusted to either extreme, and machine is still not centered on row, center knob and perform a Field Learn. (To perform Field Learn, see Field ROW-TRAK ™ Learn in this section.)

CURVED ROWS (C): "Offset" knob will need to be adjusted to match curve of rows. Adjustment is made while stripping. If rows curve to right, turn "Offset" knob right (clockwise) (D) until machine tracks curve of rows. After turning machine at end of row, align machine with row, then turn "Offset" knob to left (counterclockwise) (E) until machine tracks curve of rows.

NOTE: If "Offset" knob has been fully adjusted to either extreme, and machine is still not tracking curve rows perform a Static Learn. (To perform Static Learn, see Static ROW-TRAK ™ Learn in this section.)

If straight rows are available, it is preferable to perform a Field Learn on straight rows.
