Monitor Operation
Refer to Figure 16
The monitor system includes two cab components:
IntelliAg
®
seed monitor console, and
IntelliAg
®
clutch-folding module (switch panel)
Switch panel operations are described in this section.
Monitor console operation is described in a separate
manual supplied with your 3PYP. Operations covered in
that manual (and therefore not in this manual) include:
Raising/Lowering Planter
Refer to Figure 17
(which depicts the planter both raised and unfolded)
Planter raising relies on the 3-point hitch in front, and the
Lift Assist cylinders in back. To raise or lower the planter,
move the levers for both the Lift circuit and the 3-point
hitch.
Great Plains recommends this sequence (to prevent
lateral dragging of wing components):
• in Raising, operate the planter Lift circuit first, and
• in Lowering, operate the hitch circuit first.
The planter may be raised or lowered in either the folded
or unfolded configuration.
The lift assist circuit may also include the optional down
pressure system. This system engages and disengages
automatically.
• hydraulic drive control
(option)
• setting rate limits and
detecting out-of-limits
• seed rate calibration • GPS integration
• planting rate • fan rpm
• fertilizer rate
