Regulating the application rate
Changing the application rate in manual mode

The application rate must be regulated manually when the following icon appears in the spray data
area of the work screen:
Application in manual mode
To operate this function the user needs the ME joystick first of all.
Use the following function keys to operate the function:

Reduces the application rate.
Using Automatic mode
In automatic mode, the job computer regulates the degree of opening of the control valve and the
main valve on the manifold such that the target rate defined for the application rate can be reached.
You are in automatic mode when one of the following icons appears in the spray data area of the
work screen:
The speed of the field sprayer is lower than "Regulation off below".
Field sprayer can apply. The flow will not be regulated. The control valve remains
in the last known position until the speed changes.
The speed of the field sprayer is below "Sprayer off below".
The main valve is closed automatically.
Regulation is not possible because the application was deactivated by the
SECTION-Control app.
To use automatic mode, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
▪ Rate has been entered.
▪ Flow meter is calibrated.
▪ A speed signal is available.
