Initial Setup
These items may not be dealer-installed or dealer
pre-set unless prior arrangements have been made.
Seed Monitor Console Installation
The 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.
Transport and Field Safety Risk:
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.
Dual Marker Speed Adjustment
Overhead Sharp Object Hazard:
You may be injured if hit by a folding or unfolding marker.
Markers may fall quickly and unexpectedly if the hydraulics
fail. Never allow anyone near the planter when folding or
unfolding the markers.
Refer to Figure 153 and Figure 154
Adjust folding speed for dual markers with hex
adjustment screws on the sequence valve body. The
valve sequence body is located on top of the left wing
frame.
Loosen jam nuts before making adjustments.
There is one adjustment screw for unfolding speed
and one for folding speed
. You can identify adjustment
screws by markings stamped in valve body.
Turn adjustment screws clockwise ( : slower) to
decrease [un]folding speed and counterclockwise
(
: faster) to increase [un]folding speed.
With tractor idling at a normal operating speed, adjust
marker folding to a safe speed. Excessive [un]folding
speed could damage markers and void the warranty.
After adjusting the folding speed, tighten jam nuts on hex
adjustment screws to hold settings.
