Using the implement

REQUIREMENTS

  • The implement is unfolded

  • The parallelograms required for hoeing operation have been selected and moved into working position

  • The implement is set up and adjusted for operation

  • The implement is raised

  1. Lift all of the parallelograms intended for hoeing operation, refer to the operating manual for the hoeing machine ISOBUS software, section Work menu > Display for the status and the position of the parallelograms and section Working > Switching parallelograms manually.

  2. If the parallelograms should be automatically lowered or lifted at the beginning and end of the plant rows:

    Switch on Section Control, see operating manual for the hoeing machine ISOBUS software, section Working > Hoeing or hoeing and spraying.
  3. Lower the implement on the field with the three-point power lift until the support wheels are resting on the ground.
NOTE

If the load on the support wheels is too high, the support wheels sink in.

  1. Use the three-point power lift to distribute the load on the tractor lower link and the support wheels.
  2. Drive off with the tractor.

If the Section Control function was activated in step 2 and the headland is straight, the parallelograms automatically switch to working position all at the same time at the beginning of the plant rows.

If the Section Control function was activated in step 2 and the headland is angular, the respective parallelogram automatically switches to working position at each beginning of a plant row.

  1. If the Section Control function is not being used and the headland is straight:

    After starting to drive at the beginning of the plant rows, manually move all of the parallelograms into working position simultaneously, refer to the operating manual for the hoeing machine ISOBUS software, section Work menu > Display for the status and the position of the parallelograms and section Working > Switching parallelograms manually

or

If the Section Control function is not being used and the headlands is angular:

After starting to drive at the beginning of each plant row, move the respective parallelogram into working position manually, refer to the operating manual for the hoeing machine ISOBUS software, section Work menu > Display for the status and the position of the parallelograms and section Working > Switching parallelograms manually.
