For your safety Basic safety instructions For your safety Basic safety instructions Please read the following safety instructions carefully before using the product for the first time. ▪ Before installation, switch off the engine and the tractor's ignition. ▪ Do not make any unauthorized modifications to the product. Unauthorized modifications or use may impair safety and reduce the service life or operability of the unit.
Product description Basic principles of the EDS single nozzle switching system Product description Basic principles of the EDS single nozzle switching system The single nozzle switching system [also called EDS] is a system that serves to directly open and close each nozzle on a field sprayer. This makes it possible to reduce the number of overlaps more effectively than with conventional systems, which can only open and close entire sections.
