Initial Set Up and Navigation
Section Setup
The Seed Hawk Viper Pro must be configured for the specific vehicle and drill being used for seeding
applications. To ensure the best possible results, the Section Setup Wizard should be completed if any part of
the seeding system (i.e. tractor or drill) is changed.
Note:
If multiple tractors or drills may be used, be sure to save each profile with detailed profile names to
help identify specific profiles at a later date.
1. Select Menu, Setup, and Sect. The Seeder Configuration screen displays.
2. Select the tractor type that best describes the vehicle used to pull the seeder during actual seeding
operation. Select one of the following tractor types:
• Conventional - Standard wheeled tractor with front wheel steering.
• Tracked - Tractor with a set of continuous tracks instead of wheels.
• Articulated - Tractor steered by articulating at a pivoting joint.
If the seed or air cart is pulled in front of the drill, select the Seed Cart in Front of Drill option.
3. Touch the Next button in the lower right corner to advance to the selected tractor type setup screen.
Tractor Setup
The tractor setup screens configure the relative locations of the GPS antenna, the control point or hitch, and
the pivot point. These points may be different for the specific tractor type selected. See the Conventional
Tractor Setup section on page 40, Tracked Tractor section on page 41, or Articulated Tractor section on
page 42 for detailed instructions on locating and measuring these points.
Note:
All measurements should be taken with respect to the pivot point of the vehicle. If required, set the
fore/aft or left/right selections with respect to the pivot point and facing toward the front of the
vehicle.
Be sure to enter each measurement in the units displayed above the on-screen keypad. See the
Display Units section on page 30 for assistance to change the units of measure.
