Quick Start— automated feature that is enabled when the planter is lowered while stationary. The seed meters engage when planter wheel motion is detected. The drive motors operate based on a 1.6 km/h (1 mph) speed. The motors operate at the 1.6 km/h (1 mph) speed for 6 seconds or until the ground speed reaches 2.4 km/h (1.5 mph).
NOTE: Quick Start is not a shortcut key, but messages appear on the screen when Quick Start is activated. The Fast Start shortcut key becomes available in messages when Quick Start is activated.
|
Fast Start— reduces a skip when the planter starts from a stop. Fast Start immediately dispenses seed for up to 6 seconds after being activated. If no forward motion is detected after 6 seconds, Fast Start times out and all seed delivery stops. |
