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, the sprayer
and spraying practices and can only be found under the actual conditions.
For example; for spraying done at high speed (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 (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 is described what happens if the setting is changed and what effect will it have on the sprayer.

Track

The Track is operated at the hydraulic control box. The following
switches are used for this purpose:
11. Manual track switch
12. Track selection switches
The track selection switch (12) has 3 positions:
A. When the switch is in the lowest position the sprayer will align to
be in position for folding the boom.
B. When the switch is the middle position the system is in auto and
the sprayer track will follow the track from the tractor.
C. When the switch is in the upper position the system is in manual, and the switch (11) can be used for steering the
sprayer right and left.
If unsafe driving occurs an alarm will be triggered, and the sprayer will align. Press
(12) or pressing "align" (12) will also turn alarm off. Be aware that the alarm can not be turned off as long as unsafe driving
still occurs!

ATTENTION! When driving in hilly terrain (crab walk) in auto mode the manual steer button (11) can be used to
optimize the tracking. Before reaching the headland switch the track selection switch (12) to manual and back to auto
to neutralize the offset.
Before folding the track selection switch (12) must be set in the "align"
position before any boom folding takes place. Failure to do this will
cause an alarm signal when pressing a folding switch. Press track
selection switch (12) down to align the sprayer and re-start the folding
procedure.

Reversing the sprayer

When reversing the sprayer the controller will promt "Reversing!" in the
display. When the track is in "auto" mode, then the track will lock in the
position it had when the tractor was stopped. This means that same
steering angle, if any, will be kept when the sprayer is reversed.
