When operating the LS system, always select
MANUAL
when first entering the field. Once you
have maintained your operating speed and the cut-
ting and/or pulling depth, select
AUTO
. When you
come to an area where the corn is very short, such
as a low spot in the field, you may want to switch to
the
MANUAL
position until you reach taller corn.
Always switch to the
MANUAL
position before
you reach the end rows (fig. 101-1). This will allow
the cutter or puller heads to maintain their cutting or
pulling height when re-entering the field (fig. 101-1),
then you may switch back to
AUTO
.
You may choose to use the
ALL UP/HOLD
function instead of switching to manual. This func-
tion will raise all the detasseling heads in one mo-
tion. For more information on the
ALL UP/HOLD
function refer to pages 103 and 102.
