SWATH PATTERN OPTIONS

The following table lists the swath pattern options and describes the approach LED colors and operation.
Pattern Tips on using this pattern Diagram
NEW A-B
NEW A+
NEWCURVE
To set a straight guidance line, set new A and B points.
If you have set area points, this area is used for headland approach LED color.
Use A+ pattern for irregular gaps in your field, or for adjacent parallel fields. Just reset Point A to generate a new reference line that is perfectly parallel to the last A-B line.
With this pattern, if you have set area points, this area is used for headland approach LED color . If y ou d o not ha v e any area points, then you do not get any approach LED indication.
This option is only available if there is a valid A-B Line still in memory.
To set a curved guidance line, set new A and B points.
The approach LED does not indicate the start and end of the curve swaths. However , when you are approaching a turn, end LEDs appear as a turn signal.
Snap to Swath is not available with the Curve pattern. You must manually increment the swath. Before beginning your turn, you must press –/+.

For straight parallel swaths inside the headland, map at least one headland pass around the outside of the field and then set A and B points.
Before you can set the A and B points, you must complete the headland.
When you approach the he adland, the approach LED indicates your distance to the end of the swath.
Note – EZ-Guide only calculates field area based on area points, not headlands.
