IMPORTANT: All rows are automatically set to the same pressure.
6.3.3 - Hydraulic Downforce (Optional)
Each row unit is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder applying downforce to the unit. This allows
for consistent tillage. After adjustment of the leg depth, the hydraulic pressure should be adjusted
accordingly
Located at the front of the chassis is a pressure gauge. The working range is between 15 and 60 bar
of pressure. It is recommended that the hydraulic downforce system is operated between 25 and 30
Bar of pressure
IMPORTANT: All rows are automatically set to the same pressure.
1. Connect all hydraulic and electrical connections between the implement and machine as
shown in sections 5.3 and 5.4 .
2. Loosen the back-up nut & turn the down force valve anti-clockwise, until no spring pressure is
felt (5mm Allen key & 17mm spanner required)
3. Start the tractor and set the engine rpm to operating speed.
4. Adjust the oil flow that will supply the down force circuit to the minimum value.
5. Engage the hydraulic spool (tractor) in to "Constant Pump", slowly increase the flow control until
the Down Force gauge shows 15 bars.
6. To increase the downforce, turn the valve clockwise to the desired pressure, lock the valve in
position with the back-up nut.
To adjust downforce pressure:
1. Position the row unit at the
working height.
2. Turn the lever clockwise
to increase down force
pressure.
3. Turn the lever anti-clockwise
to decrease down force
pressure.
