ARIATION

Zero flow offset is an operator-entered setting. Zero Flow Offset represents the maximum duty cycle
that is sent to the control valve without producing any hydraulic flow from the PWM valve. Using too
high of a Zero Flow Offset value can cause the product control system to not properly control low
rates. Zero flow offset may vary somewhat by system and by operating conditions.

Below, problems and causes relating to Zero Flow Offset are listed. Use the Confirmation Techniques
to determine if you have this problem; and then follow the appropriate solution.

Problem

• Drive is slow to begin turning.

Possible Cause

• Zero Flow Offset is set too low.

Confirmation Technique

1. Turn the Master Switch off. Enter a manual ground speed and enter a new region.

2. From the Run screen, open the product application rate window, and highlight the appropriate product.
Select Manual control mode.

3. Switch the Master Switch on.

4. Press the up button one time. Now press the down button one time. If the drive is not turning, the Zero
Flow Offset is likely to be too low.
