Using tramline control
The job computer can help you to create tramlines for the tires of other vehicles, for example, a
sprayer.
A tramline is created by closing the seed tubes to the seeding coulters. This creates an area behind
the implement where there is no seeding.
When the tramline control is activated, the tracks are counted to create the tramlines for the defined
tracks. The tracks are counted as soon as the implement is lifted out of the soil.

Operating the hydraulic system with the job computer
The Müller-Elektronik job computer is used to adjust the position of the hydraulic valves so that the oil
pressure is routed to specified parts of the seeder.
When operating the seeder with the job computer, remember that the job computer cannot control the
oil pressure.
You have to use the control unit in the tractor to generate pressure in the system.
Operation with these systems can then look like this:
1. Press a function key on the on-board integrated display/controller. For example, for
the left-hand bout marker.
⇨ The function icon appears on the work screen. This confirms that the hydraulic valve is
ready and this function can now be controlled hydraulically.
2. Actuate the control unit of the hydraulic system in the tractor that is responsible for the bout
marker.
⇨ The pressure builds up.
⇨ The left bout marker is lowered.
3. If you now remove the pressure from the valve, the left-hand bout marker will be lifted.
⇨ The function icon must appear on the work screen, both when you lower the bout marker
and when you lift it.
