TRACK DETERMINATION AND MAINTENANCE

The determination of the track is extremely important, because it has an essential influence on the control of the
system.

Track depth: max. 140 mm

Track depth with swivable systems in rotating range: max. 100 mm

Track of central tower: completely plain and free of ruts and grooves.

7.3.1 TRAVEL DIRECTION

Before cultivating the crop and preparing the seed bed consider the following:

Standard operation direction of the system is in a right angle to the crop rows.

If the seed bed is deeper than 100 mm, it is recommended to make the system run parallelwise to the crop
rows.
If it is required to operate the system along the crop rows, apply one of the following methods to determine the
track.
Method I
1. Before cultivating make a „dry run " along the entire field to fix the tracks.
2. Use these tracks as guidance for the crop row to be cultivated.
Keep a distance of 250 mm on both sides of the track for the first crop row.
Method II
1. Plant the entire field parallel to the system's travel direction.
2. Make a „dry run" along the entire field.
3. Level out the crop rows 250 mm on both sides of the tracks. That way deep tracks and cracks between the
crop rows can be prevented.
An exact run of the system is guaranteed.
Instructions for determining tracks
1. Make a "dry run" with timer setting to 100 % over the entire field.
2. Then make a "wet run" with timer setting to 80 - 90 % over the entire field.
Then continue according to need.
If the tracks become too deep, they must be levelled out or filled up. Then make a dry run with timer setting to 100
% over the entire field. Return in wet run with the same timer setting.
