PF3000 Swath Setting
Ag Leader Technology Harvest Mode
April 2002 4-35
Introduction The PF3000 has a separate swath setting for each grain type. The monitor
uses the number of rows and row space you set in the monitor to determine
the total swath.
Full Swath The full swath is the normal swath that the vehicle takes during field
operation. It is the permanent swath of the combine head. To view and
change the full swath settings, you must press the SETUP key and then
SWATH key. Refer to the swath setup instructions in the setup section for
more instructions.
Partial Swath You can temporarily enter a partial swath setting when you encounter a less
than full swath during field operation (for example point rows). Follow the
steps below to enter a partial swath.
Step Action
1 If... Then...
Swath is displayed on
the main operating
screen Press the key to the right of the line
displaying swath to select the line
(rectangular box surrounding line).
Swath is not displayed
on the main operating
screen Press one of the four keys to the right of
the display and display swath on the main
screen. Press the key to the right of the
line displaying swath to select the line
(rectangular box surrounding line).
2 With swath selected, press the DOWN ARROW key to decrease the
swath to the appropriate swath width.
3 After you have finished the partial swath in the field, press the UP
ARROW key to increase the swath back to a full swath.
4 Deselect swath by pressing the key to the right of swath.
Note:
•
When you decrease the swath, the monitor will beep to remind the
operator that the monitor is set on a partial swath. The monitor will not
stop beeping until the swath is increased to the full swath.
•
If you are operating a cutting platform in non-rowed crops, it is
recommended to set the row spacing to 12 inches so that you can
decrease the swath by easier-to-see one-foot increments when you
encounter a partial swath.
