4.25 OPENER SHANK OPERATION – LOUP III
1. Ensure that there is power going to the Seed Hawk LOUP III monitor.
2. Engage the tractor hydraulics lever that the RED band hose (opener circuit) are connected
to.
3. Lock the tractor hydraulics lever that the GREEN banded hoses (wing circuit) are connected
to. The full tractor pressure is shown on the top right (4000 PSI gauge) of the hydraulic
manifold block.
4. Moving in a forward direction press the “ACK” button on the monitor, this will engage the
opener shanks.
NOTE: 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
amount of down pressure the system should apply, can be done on the monitor as well. The
monitor controls a down pressure valve that maintains 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 all equally.
1. To set and change the shank pressure, press any
soft key to bring up the soft key menu and press
“Shank”, SEE FIGURE 4.114.
2. A horizontal bar graph display will come up on the
screen. Press the “Selector knob” to activate the
adjustment and then rotate the spinner knob to
increase or decrease the system pressure setting.
