2.4 Preparation and
Setup
This section helps you prepare your
tractor and Centurion for use, and covers
seasonal tasks, and tasks when the tractor/
drill configuration changes.
Before using the Centurion in the field,
you must hitch the drill to a suitable
tractor, inspect systems and level the drill.
Before using the drill for the first time, and
periodically thereafter, certain adjustments
and calibrations are required.
2.4.1 Initial Setup
• Install the monitor console in the tractor
cab.
Mount the console so that it is
easy to monitor during planting,
but does not interfere with safe
operation of the tractor in the
field or on public roads.
• Set boutmarker extension (page 38).
2.4.2 Seasonal Setup
On initial delivery, use with a new tractor,
and seasonally, check and as necessary,
complete these items before continuing to
the routine setup items:
• Wing levelling and alignment.
• Speed sensor calibration.
• Blow out entire air system to remove
condensation. Check air flow at each
row, for evidence of plugging.
• De-grease exposed cylinder rods if so
protected at last storage.
