Extra-lift function
The extra-lift function is controlled with the 8 key. A red light above the key
indicates that the feature is switched on. When the extra-lift function is on, the system
allows only the marker to be raised/lowered when you try to hydraulically raise or
lower the seeder. This feature is for situations where you do not wish to stop seeding
but need to raise the marker due to an obstruction.
Note: Remember to disable the extra-lift function after passing the obstruction!
If you do not disable this function, the seeder fertilizer cannot be raised at the field-
end, which causes
SERIOUS DAMAGE
when reversing, for example.

Right marker
Markers are controlled with the 9 (left) and 10 (right) keys. An LED light
above the key will be lit if a marker is activated. A light above both keys
indicates that the automatic marker-change function is activated.
When you raise
or lower the seed fertilizer, the markers are raised and lowered simultaneously (except
when using the low-lift feature, described in the previous section of this manual).
Because the operation of the markers is based on two-phase hydraulics, the shanks
will not be lowered when you lower the seeder with “floating” hydraulics even though
the seeder will be lowered.
•
Markers not in use: The lamps above keys 9 and 10 are off. When the
seeder is raised or lowered, the markers will not be lowered.
•
