VALVE CALIBRATION - PLANTER CONTROL
The Valve Calibration screen sets the machine hydraulic system
parameters and should be performed for best results. Each control channel
that is enabled requires a valve calibration.
At the Channel Setup screen, press the Valve Calibration button to access
the Valve Calibration screen.
NOTE: Verify disc speed high limit is
set correctly. Valve calibration
will try and obtain the high disc
speed.

When the START key is engaged, the machine will become
operational. All necessary precautions must be taken to ensure
user safety. Failure to practice all necessary caution may result in
serious injury or death.
Hoppers are assumed to be empty for this calibration. If they are
loaded, material will be dispensed onto the ground.
To perform the Control Channel Valve Calibration:
1. Move the implement to the “raised” position.
2. Apply the tractor brakes and lock in the applied position.
3. Put the transmission in “park” or in a locked, neutral position.
4. Start the tractor and engage the hydraulic system, i.e. PTO or auxiliary
lever.
5. Run the engine at normal operating speed until the hydraulic fluid is at
normal operating temperature.
6. Press the Start button.
