GPS Base station Issues

In the event of a GPS issue the following procedure is to be followed:

1. If a grower has a tractor or harvester GPS issue they are to call the GPS supplier direct.
2. If a grower in consultation with the GPS supplier believes that the issue is a base station issue they are to call one of the following people:
   1. Lawrence Di Bella (HCPSL Manager) – 0448 084 52
   2. Brendan Vella (Owner manager of Russo and Vella Machinery) – 0488 760 347
   3. Richard Hobbs (HCPSL Extension Agronomist) only call if you can not get Brendan or Lawrence- 0400 544 301
3. If the grower is found not to follow this procedure and HCPSL deploys Russo and Vella Machinery staff to check a base station and it is found that the issue is a tractor or harvester GPS issue, the grower will receive an invoice from HCPSL for the costs incurred.

Any other issues concerning the HCPSL GPS basestation network please call Lawrence Di Bella.
