Safety CAUTION: Implement should be lowered to ground or on

mechanical safety stops before starting work. Do not work on
Notices implement supported by hydraulic system only.
CAUTION: Be sure to wear proper eye protection when using any

power tools, such as when drilling any mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Check behind vehicle and implement panels for any

hoses, wiring, controls, etc. that could be damaged when drilling
any mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect Ag Leader Display, DirectCommand

components and flow meter from electrical system when welding on
equipment or jump starting unit to prevent component damage due
to power surges or excessive current
IMPORTANT: If using a non Ag Leader GPS receiver, make sure

to install the Null Modem Cable included in the Display kit, to
prevent damage to the Display or the GPS receiver.
IMPORTANT: Use the Dielectric grease to coat the seals and

terminals of each connector that will be exposed to weather or
chemicals as you plug them in.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the alignment keys on the plugs and the
receptacles carefully. Do not use excessive force when mating
connectors.
IMPORTANT: Do not drill holes in tool bar mainframe. Due to high

stress loads on toolbar, cracking may occur from drilled holes.

Switch. This will prevent the controller from turning on product flow
when the implement is out of the ground and over an unapplied area of
the field.

Liquid Manure Tank With Pinch Valve Servo Control and

Liquid Manure Tank With Hydraulic Pump Servo Control Valve Configuration
Setting Default Description

Name Value
Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error exceeds the
Response Threshold setting. Decreasing the value will cause the servo valve to run
Valve 40 % slower.
response 1
Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error is less than
the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing the value will cause the servo valve to
Valve 6% run slower.
response 2
Determines the percent of error that is allowed prior to the product control
system making any flow rate corrections. Too low of a setting will cause the
Allowable control system to continually hunt for the target application rate. Too high of a
5 - 8% setting will cause excessive application error.
Error
Determines where the control system switches between using Valve response 1
and Valve response 2 speed settings. Decreasing this value will have the overall
effect of speeding up servo valve response. Increasing this value will have the
Response overall effect of slowing down servo valve response.
20
Threshold
NOTE: Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value and making a
small adjustment to this setting is usually all that is required to fine-tune the
control system.
