Rate CoNtRoLLeR

when operating the Legacy 6000 with an external rate controller interfaced to the
console, implement Setup is reduced to implement width, y-axis direction, and
y-axis distance. the operator will not be able to establish boom sections. Boom
section setup must occur on the rate that is connected to the Legacy console.

entering implement width

implement width is used for guidance purposes and could be considered the dis-
tance between guidelines. this width is typically determined by the vehicle swath
width or spread area. Setting the implement width slightly smaller than the actual
width will eliminate skips in application. Setting the implement width slightly larg-
er than the actual swath width will eliminate overlap during application. to enter
implement Setup from the Launcher Page, press the System Setup (F1) softkey
followed by the Implement Setup softkey.

the Implement Width page also contains a Review Settings softkey. Selecting this
softkey will launch a page to display the details of the current implement configura-
tion.
