Operating - Cab ventilation
To reduce the
temperature of the air, turn the RH switch clockwise until the cab
temperature is reduced as required. For maximum efficiency the LH
control for the heater should be turned fully anti-clockwise.
Remember the chiller will only work when the engine is running at
over 1700 rpm.
Always keep the
cab door closed to keep the cab cool.
To increase the
temperature of the air turn the LH heater control clockwise and the
chiller control anti-clockwise.
Demisting
In damp conditions
the heater control can be used in conjunction with the chiller to
dehumidify the air entering the cab - to demist quickly turn both
controls fully clockwise. For demisting on cool damp days turn the
chiller control to the minimum setting, the heater to maximum and the
fan to the second speed.

Row crop work.
Only row crop wheels recommended by the manufacturer should be fitted to the PHANTOM. Fitting any other wheels will invalidate the warranty. Wheel track should not exceed 72’’ without consulting the manufacturer (Unless Wide-track axles are fitted which allow up to 80" track). The top road speed is increased significantly when row-crops are fitted, however, a top speed of 30 m.p.h. (50 kph) should still NOT be exceeded. Speeds over 20 mph (32 kph) should only be used if the tyres fitted are suitable.
Please read notes on steering stop adjustment if you are fitting row crops on a PHANTOM with a wheel track of less than 68’’. The stops may have to be altered to maintain adequate wheel/cab clearances. It as also advisable to service the brakes as a matter of course before fitting row crop wheels in the Spring.
It is recommended that the front crop deflector and underbelly crop sheet be fitted when working in tall crops particularly as harvest approaches. This not only reduces crop damage but also protects the underside of the machine and stops the crop being pulled into the drive belts, shafts and alternator etc.
The front mounted crop deflector also helps to prevent the radiator from blocking. It may have to be extended for use in oil seed rape and some other tall crops. If so please ensure that the extension does not restrict the air flow into the radiator, especially when being used on the road.
