7.2 Product Delay Adjustment
Work Condition>Control>Liquid
Before making any adjustments to the Product
Delay, make sure GPS offsets & Bar Distance are
entered correctly.
To check performance:
Note: Prime can be used to perform this calibration (start at
step g), but may not be available on the run screens. The NH3
calibration screen will be used to check the product delay in
this case. Instructions below are for using the liquid calibration
method to check product delay.
a) Select Work
Condition>Liquid Cal
b Select Liquid Op Mode
– [Anhydrous] (Accept
Safety Warning if agreed)
c) Press Master Control –
‘Apply’ Button

7 - OVERLAP/BOUNDARY CONTROL – continued
7.3 Running Overlap/Boundary Ctrl
NOTE! The following windows can be located
on the Run screens.
Disengages drive section master
valve and/or all boom valves for that
drive section. “On” when the button
is black (1), and “Off“ when the button
is grey (2)
Quickly switch between Auto and
Manual section control
Enables/Disables Overlap Control
(disable before backing, enable after
driving forward), except AccuGuide
complete tractors
Enables/Disables Boundary Control
Disengage individual section valves
NOTE! (A) must be present for Auto Overlap and Boundary
Control to function. If (M) is present, Auto Overlap and
Boundary control will not work!
7.2 Product Delay Adjustment - continued
j) Exit the calibration
without updating the
calibration number
by pressing ‘Back’
k) Press ‘Control’ Tab
l) Enter the measured
time as the Product
Delay gure
m) Throughout the season
check for proper overlap
operation especially when
experiencing different
ambient temps
n) If exact measurement of
error is determined use this
formula to convert this
distance to a new
Product Delay (PD)
o) Adjust Start Early/Stop Late distance for intentional
overlap. If a negative number seems to be required for
SE/SL, re-measure & adjust Product Delay
TIPS
1. A data card must be inserted in to the display.
2. Check GPS Offset, Bar Distance, Product Delay, and
check that a product is assigned to a layer for Overlap
& Boundary control to function properly.
3. “(A)” must be present in a window for Auto mode.
4. Disable Overlap Ctrl before backing into corners,
etc. Re-enable after moving forward (not required for
AccuGuide Equipped Tractors).
