NOTE: This Quick Start Guide is to be used for the quick start-up and setup of the iDepth Electronic Control
system of the RT-Series Joker tillage machines. This guide may be used in conjunction with the Quick
Reference Guide – RT-Series Joker, Electronic specific to the iDepth Electronic Control System. For further
information refer to the model year specific machine Owner’s Manual for complete operating instructions and

Hydraulic Connections:
Quick Start & Setup:
1. Turn Selector Valve to “FIELD”operation.
2. Fully extend rear packer cylinders (1)to raise machine all the
way up on the rear packer and front hitch.
3. Turn SCV to 100% flow.
4. Set the tractor time for the remote to 8 seconds.
5. Then select Calibrate on the iDepth panel. Hold for 3 seconds.
The display should say ‘AA’ Depth and ‘0’ Hitch Offset. This will
set top dead center for the machine.
6. Now set it to ‘D’ Dept and ‘-2’ Hitch Offset.
7. Lower the machine.
8. Once the box stops flashing, hit the Calibrate button one more time.
9. The display should now read ‘AA’ Depth and ‘0’ Hitch Offset. This will level the frame.
10. The machine should now be ready to go. Raise the machine (1), then select ‘D’ Depth and it should
be about one inch deep.
Helpful Hints:
1. Remember that there is an 8-second timer on that remote and you cannot go any faster than that
8 seconds allows.
2. Each letter past ‘D’ will be one inch per letter for depth adjustment.
3. Measure each adjustment for verification. Always remember that this depth control box will do
exactly what you tell it.
