Monitor Installation
Refer to Figure 9
Drill-mounted components of the seed monitor are pre-
installed. The system includes tractor-mounted compo-
nents (in dashed outline) that must be installed in the
tractor prior to first use.
1. Mount the console where it will be visible to the
tractor driver, and not interfere with safe operations.
Make sure the location allows the harness
to
reach the hitch.
Remove the protective film from the monitor face
after installation.
2. Connect the power leads to tractor battery power.
The wiring color code is:
+ Brown
- Blue
The console includes its own power switch.
3. The power jack is weather-proof, and may be
mounted inside or outside of the tractor cab.
4. After hitching, connect the tractor monitor harness
to the drill harness.
Monitor Setup
The seed monitor requires entry of data that rarely
changes, and data that changes for each planting ses-
sion. See “Monitor Operation” on page 43 for step-by-
step data entry and programming instructions.
Most of the monitor setup can be done with the drill dis-
connected. The harness to the drill does need to be con-
nected for speed Autocal.

Some options and accessories are not pre-installed prior
