Caution Please Read!!
• Note:
• This guide is intended for quick reference only. For complete set-up
see owners manual, quick start guides and or your dealer.
• The use of this guide is assuming that your system is set up and
READY to go to the field.
• The factory sets planters up generically.
• Make sure that any and all calibrations are done before going to
the field (see owners manual, dealer, or quick start guides).
• This guide will help you get started planting by showing you how to
get to the settings summary page, from which you can quickly
adjust planting rates, meter pressure, Row Pro settings, and Swath
Control settings.
• Follow all safety rules and recommendations in Operator’s Manual.

1.) Check that correct seed discs are present in meter.
2.) Check that seed gates at Y-splitters are all open for seed delivery.
3.) Check that no foreign matter is present in air box, then open hopper door.
4.) Turn on fan and set oil flow to get XXXXRPM.
5.) Check that Marker/Fold switch is set to “marker” even if you do not have them.
6.) Fill meters with seed by performing “Row Fill”, and waiting 2 minutes.
7.) Check that correct seed and target population is set on monitor/controller.
8.) Perform “Fill Disk” to avoid leaving a skip when starting. If fan is stopped for any
reason, then repeat this step.
9.) For hydraulic drive planters, turn on channel to enable meter operation. Valve
calibration is strongly recommended.
10.) Pull forward and lower planter to begin planting. If there is a delay before starting to
plant, you will need to re-enable seed meter drive due to safety delay.
