Menu 3.6 Track

General info

There is no standard setting for the Track set up. The Track needs to be adjusted for different kinds of tractors since the
sprayer and spraying practices can only be found under the actual conditions.
For example; for spraying done at high speed(12 to 16 mph (20 to 25 km/h)), the Track must be set up so it reacts slowly and
the dead zone could be set higher than the standard setting.
Another example; spraying with relatively low speed (4 to 6 mph (7 to10 km/h)) in a crop where the precision must be high,
the dead zone can be reduced for more precision.
For each adjustment, descriptions are given of what happens if the setting is changed and what effect will it have on the
sprayer.

SafeTrack

The SafeTrack is operated at the hydraulic SetBox. Track selection
switches have 3 positions
1. When pressing the align button (17), sprayer will align to be in
position for folding the boom.
2. When pressing "auto" (18), the system is in auto and the sprayer
will follow the track from the tractor.
3. When one of the two arrow buttons (16) is pressed, the system is
in manual. Using the two arrows (16) left and right , will steer the
sprayer left and right. If unsafe driving occurs, an alarm will be
triggered and the sprayer will align. Press # to turn alarm off.
Switching to "manual" (16) or pressing "align" (17) will also turn
alarm off. Be aware that the alarm can not be turned off as long as
unsafe driving still occurs!

Menu 3.6.1 Track width

Here the track width can be entered. The track is measured from right side tire center to left side tire center of the sprayer
wheels. It is important that the right track width is entered. The controller will calculate the speed to the center of machine
and not the speed of the wheel.
If the track width is incorrect, it will influence track precision and the safety factor.
Factory setting: 71"

Menu 3.6.2 Tractor drawbar

Here the length of the tractor drawbar is entered. The measurement is from the center of the tractor rear axle to the center
of the drawbar pin. This has to be adjusted every time a new tractor is hooked on to the sprayer. When hooked up, check
the rigidity of the tractor drawbar mounts. There must be no sideways movement.
Factory setting: 31"
Measurement too short: The Track reacts faster, but will make the sprayer steer too large a curve.
Measurement too long: The Track reacts slower, but will make the sprayer steer too short a curve.
