Seed Monitor Console Installation
The 3PYP planter’s standard seed monitor system
includes a virtual terminal and switch panel that must be
mounted in the tractor cab. As supplied by
DICKEY-john
®
, the kit includes a flat bracket for the
modules, and a ball swivel for mounting the bracket in the
tractor.
Mount the modules so that they are easy to monitor during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.
The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.
Refer to the included DICKEY-john
®
manual for harness
connections.
