5.7.1 Engage Drive

• There must be an implement

width entered.

• There must be a meter applica-

tion rate entered.

• There must be a meter calibration

rate entered.

• Forward travel speed must be

present.

• The drive must be engaged.

The monitor requires several pieces of information for field operation.

To engage the drive press the

ACK button. The drive icon in the upper center

portion of the screen will turn solid. Engaging the drive will cause the furrow
openers to lower to seeding position and with travel speed present the rate
meters will begin to turn.

At the end of a seeding pass, press the
ACK button again to disengage the
meter drive. This will stop the applica-
tion rate meters and raise the furrow
openers. This will also stop the field 
area accumulation register.

NOTE: The fans must be

running before engaging the

drive. If the fans are not

operating normally, an alarm

screen will display, alerting

the operator to the problem.

5.7.2 Disengage Drive

If all the installed sensors are found, the monitor will display a list of found sen-
sors. By pressing the soft key labeled “OK,” the operator can then access the
normal run screen. Items displayed on the run screen can be user selected and
the layout of the run screen can also be user selected. Refer to Section 5.3.4 for
more information. At this point the system is ready for operation.
