Turning on the headlands

REQUIREMENTS

  • Tool automatic headland lifting system is activated on the control terminal.

The metering roller in the metering unit is stopped by lifting the tools or by the Section Control command. Seed emerges from the coulters until the seed lines are empty. If necessary, the time window for lifting and lowering the tools can be adjusted.

  1. To avoid fan speed fluctuations:

    Give the tractor control unit for the fan drive priority.

  2. If the implement has a T-Pack:

    slightly raise the implement using the lower links.

  3. If the implement has a wheel mark eradicator:

    Lift the wheel mark eradicator with the blue 2 tractor control unit.
  4. Before turning, lift the tools with the green 2 tractor control unit.

  5. To avoid damage to the implement:

    Pay attention to obstacles when turning.
NOTE
To avoid quality losses in the seed, do not allow the seed to circulate in the segment distributor head for longer than one minute.
If the fan is running on the headlands, a portion of the oil pressure will be applied on the rear folding cylinders, so that the implement weight is distributed on all of the matrix wheels.

  1. If the implement is not lowered again immediately after turning:

    Switch off the fan

or

If the seed circulates too long in the segment distributor head:

actuate to release fresh seed into the segment distributor head.

  1. When the direction of the implement matches that of the direction of travel:

    Lower the tools with the green 1 tractor control unit.
  2. If equipped, lower the wheel mark eradicator with the blue 1 tractor control unit.

  3. If the implement has a T-Pack:

    put the hydraulic system of the three-point power lift into float position

or

For sandy soils:

move the hydraulic system of the three-point power lift into the set working height.

or

If the implement has a crushboard:

Lock the hydraulic system of the 3-point power lift.
