4.6.2.1 Loup 111 Shank Down Pressure Adjustment
The hydraulic down pressure applied to the opener shanks is controlled by a
closed loop system that allows the operator to enter the desired operating
down pressure. Entering the desired amount of down pressure can be done on
the monitor as well. The monitor controls a down pressure valve that main-
tains the pressure setting on the opener shanks through the control module.
A pressure sensor measures the actual hydraulic pressure and feeds it back to
the control module. The control module adjusts the down pressure valve to
maintain the system setting. As the openers move up and down with the terrain
constant force is applied to openers all equally.

sure, press any
Soft Key to bring up
the Soft Key Menu and press the Soft
Key labeled “Shank”.

come up on the screen. Press the
Selector Knob to activate the
adjustment and then rotate the
