Total Units
Turning Drive(s) On/Off
Use the external on/off toggle switch (provided by Rawson) to turn the
drive(s) on or off. Rawson does offer an optional Whisker Switch (Part
Number: 300779) for installing on the implement. When the drive is on, the
green light on the switch located on the lower right of the front panel of the Pro
will be on. When the drive is off, the red light will be on.
Dual Drive system
A special dual drive selector switch provided by Rawson will come wired in
with the master on/off toggle switch if you have a dual drive system. The Pro
uses this switch to turn Drive A or B off independently or keep them both on
(as long as master on/off switch is on). The Pro also automatically adjusts the
swath based on which drives are on for accurate area counting.
Three Drive system
A special three drive switch console provided by Rawson comes with your
three drive system. This console works in conjunction with the master on/off
switch. The Pro automatically adjusts its swath based on which drives are on.
Using jump start speed
When you start planting from a stationary position, you should push and hold
the master on/off toggle switch in the fully on or forward position. The Pro
will set the ground speed equal to the jump start speed set in step 2 (see other
side) until the speed from the radar gun gets above the jump start speed. You
will only have to hold the switch down for a short time. Using jump start
speed prevents skips when starting from a stand still.
