6. With planter on a level surface, raise the planter slowly and watch for any interference.

When raising a planter equipped with dual lift assist wheels, the front of the planter should raise and then the back using the lift assist wheels to raise the rear of the planter. When lowering the planter, the lift assist wheels should begin to lower the rear of the planter before lowering the front of the planter. If the dual lift assist wheels are plumbed into the 3 point hitch lift circuit, adjust the flow control valve so the rear of the planter lowers before the front of the planter and the front of the planter raises before the rear of the planter. See “Flow Control Valve

Adjustment”. With planter lowered to planting position, adjust tractor linkage to level the toolbar. See “Leveling The

Planter”.

With planter (equipped with dual lift assist wheels) raised for transport, maintain a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) clearance between planter and quick hitch.

On planters equipped with the optional Dual Lift Assist Wheel Package, adjustment holes on the lift assist cylinder mounts allow for adjustment of lift height.

7. Remove pin from each parking stand and raise each to the transport position. Secure stands in raised position with pin in lowest hole.

8. Lower the planter so the drive wheels rest on the ground and check to be sure planter is level. Readjust top link as required to level row units. See “Leveling The Planter”.

NOTICE

As a general safety practice and to avoid damage to the tractor hydraulic system, always lower the planter when not in use.

LEVELING THE PLANTER

For proper performance of the planter and row units, it is important that the planter frame and row unit parallel arms operate approximately level. The toolbar should operate at a 20" to 22" (51-56 cm) height, measured from the planting surface to the bottom of the toolbar.

When operating the planter, make sure the right and left lower link arms on the tractor are adjusted equally before attaching the planter. After the planter has been lowered to the correct operating height, stop the tractor and stand beside the planter and check to be sure the frame is level fore and aft. If the row units angle up or down, adjust the center link on the tractor to level the machine.

It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be maintained at pressures specified and drive wheel height must be adjusted equally. See “Wheel Module Height Adjustment”.

TRANSPORTING PLANTER

DANGER!

Contacting or coming close to power lines or other high energy sources will cause death or serious injury. Keep away from power lines or high energy sources at all times.

WARNING

All safety/warning lights, reflective decals, and SMV sign must be in place and visible before transporting machine on public roads or death, serious injury, and damage to property and equipment may result. Check federal, state/provincial, and local regulations before transporting equipment on public roads.

• Tow only with farm tractor rated and configured for equipment.

• Know your route and be aware of any obstructions.

• Follow all road and bridge load limit restrictions.

• Never exceed maximum transport towing speed of 20 mph (32 kph).

CONTACT WHEEL SPRING ADJUSTMENT

There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. The spring tension is factory preset and should require no further adjustment.

The tension is set leaving 1" (2.5 cm) between the spring plug and the mounting shaft as shown below.

Vacuum Shown

Two parking stands, located on the front side of the main frame, are standard on all Model 3140 planters. The stands must be positioned so they are not directly behind the tractor tire or they will interfere when the planter is raised.

Each parking stand has six positioning holes. By using these positioning holes, you can set the main frame parking height from 19" to 25" (48 to 63.5 cm).

Raise the stands to the top position and pin when planting; lower and pin for parking and storage.

WHEEL MODULE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Drive Wheel Module Assembly Center Section Gauge Wheel Assembly

The drive wheel module assembly and center section gauge wheel assembly are designed so the drive wheel height can be adjusted to maintain a frame height of 20" to 22" (51-56 cm) in all planting applications. This is particularly useful when the planter is used for ridge planting or planting on beds. The wheel module assembly has an adjustment range of 7" (18 cm). To adjust the wheel assembly, loosen the upper nut using a 1½" wrench or a 15" adjustable wrench and turn the lower nut using a 1½" wrench or 15" adjustable wrench (clockwise to decrease frame height or counterclockwise to increase frame height). Tighten the upper nut after adjustment is complete. Set all wheels equally.

SEED RATE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT

M0256-01

Planting population rate changes are made at the seed rate transmissions. The seed rate transmissions are designed to allow simple, rapid changes of sprockets to obtain the desired planting population. By removing the lynch pins on the hexagon shafts, sprockets can be interchanged with those from the sprocket storage rod bolted near each transmission.

Chain tension is controlled by spring-loaded, dual-sprocket idlers. The idler assembly is adjusted with a easy-release arm. This arm has a release position to remove spring tension for replacing sprockets. The amount of spring tension on the chain is controlled by the idler arm. See “Wrap Spring Wrench Operation”.

A decal positioned near each transmission illustrates proper chain routing. The planting rate charts found in “Rate

Charts” will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket combinations.

WRAP SPRING WRENCH OPERATION

NOTE: 15 tooth, 19 tooth or 30 tooth drive sprockets at each contact drive wheel can be interchanged from the sprocket storage rod bolted near each transmission. The 15 and 19 tooth sprockets require use of a 218 pitch

No. 40 chain. The 30 tooth sprocket requires use of a 224 pitch No. 40 chain.

Chain tension is controlled by a spring-loaded sprocket idler. The amount of spring tension on the chain is controlled by the idler arm.

The planting rate charts found in

“Rate Charts” section will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket.

NOTE: 15, 19 and 30 tooth drive sprockets are NOT applicable to all rate charts. Check chart titles to ensure the proper rate charts are selected.

NOTE: After each sprocket combination adjustment, make a field test to be sure you are planting at the desired rate.

HALF RATE (2 TO 1) DRIVE

15 Tooth - Half Rate (2 To 1) Drive

Half rate (2 to 1) drive is recommended only when the desired population falls below that shown on the planting rate charts.

Replace the 30 tooth drive sprocket and shorter No. 40 110 pitch chain on each contact wheel with a 15 tooth sprocket.

This will reduce the planter transmission speed and reduce planting and application rates by approximately 50%.

NOTE: After each sprocket combination adjustment, make a field check to be sure you are planting at the desired rate.

VACUUM METER SYSTEM

Kinze vacuum meter seed metering system includes seed meters, seed discs, and an air system consisting of a hydraulic driven vacuum fan which draws air through manifolds, hoses, and seed meters on each row unit.

WARNING

Moving fan blades can cause amputation or severe injury. Never operate vacuum fan with cover removed.

ANALOG VACUUM OR PRESSURE GAUGE

Analog vacuum or pressure gauge connects directly to vacuum meter (vacuum) or bulk fill (pressure) manifold and is teed into digital sending units.

Only adjustment is to “zero” needle with no vacuum or pressure present. If there is a significant difference between gauge and a reading taken at meters, a different manifold location should be found to connect hose to gauge and digital sending unit.

Analog Gauge

NOTE: Analog gauges are identical EXCEPT for plug and hose barb locations in side of gauge housing.

DO NOT connect vacuum meter or bulk fill hose to wrong gauge. Check plug and hose barb installation if readout is erratic or appears inaccurate.

VACUUM FAN MOTOR VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY

A pressure relief valve in the hydraulic circuit prevents build up of oil pressure over 35 PSI in case drain line when vacuum fan motor is operating. This valve will vent oil outside valve block through a drain hole in the aluminum valve block. This can occur whenever case drain is improperly connected or pressure in motor circuit builds.

See “Hydraulic Diagram - Vacuum Fan Motor System” in Lubrication and Maintenance section.

Valve block contains a check valve that prevents vacuum fan from operating in wrong direction if pressure is applied to return side of motor and allows fan to coast to a stop when tractor hydraulic control is returned to neutral position.

NOTE: Fan turns at a reduced speed If reverse pressure is applied.

ROW MARKER HYDRAULIC OPERATION

WARNING!

Always stand clear of marker assemblies and blades when planter is operating.

DANGER


The single valve marker system uses a sequencing valve which directs hydraulic flow to operate the markers alternately. Each time a marker is raised, the sequencing valve will direct flow to lower the opposite marker.

Both markers can be used at the same time if desired. To do this, lower the planter and the marker that has been selected. Move the tractor SCV control to the raise position and immediately return it to the lower position. This will shift the marker control valve and the remaining marker will be lowered.

ROW MARKER SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Flow control valves located in the marker sequencing/flow control valve assembly control lowering and raising speed of markers. One flow control valve sets lowering speed of both markers and one sets raising speed of both markers. To adjust marker speed, loosen jam nut and turn control(s) clockwise, or IN to slow travel speed and counterclockwise, or OUT, to increase travel speed. Flow control(s) determine amount of oil flow restriction through valves, therefore varying travel speed of markers. Tighten jam nut after adjustments are complete.

NOTICE

The flow controls should be properly adjusted before the marker assemblies are first put into use. Excessive marker travel speed can damage the marker assembly.

DANGER!


NOTE: When oil is cold, hydraulics operate slowly. Make sure all adjustments are made with warm oil. Do not overtighten lock nut.

NOTE: On a tractor where oil flow can not be controlled, the rate of flow of oil from tractor may be greater than rate at which the marker cylinder can accept oil. Tractor hydraulic control lever will have to be held until cylinder reaches end of its stroke. This occurs most often on tractors with open center hydraulic systems. On tractors with closed center hydraulic systems, the tractor’s hydraulic flow control can be set so the tractor’s detent will function properly.

POINT ROW CLUTCHES

With the use of electric-activated clutches, which disengage the drive, either half of the planter may be shut off for finishing up fields or for long point row situations.

Model 3140

L.H. Side Of Planter Shown

The selector switch for the clutches is located in the point row clutch control box which is installed on the tractor.

NOTE: Switch should be left in OFF position when planter is not in use. If left in ON (left or right) position, the tractor battery will be discharged.

Point Row Clutch Control Box

NOTE: Since the liquid fertilizer piston pump have their own drive wheels, liquid fertilizer application will not be affected by use of the point row clutch.

Stop Output Wrap

Collar Hub Spring

Input

Hub

Control Tang

The point row clutch consists of a wrap spring riding on an input hub and an output hub. During operation the wrap spring is wrapped tightly over the hubs connecting them in a positive engagement. The greater the force of rotation the tighter the grip of the spring on the hubs. Rotation in the opposite direction or stopping the spring from rotating prevents the transmission of torque from the input hub to the output hub stopping the planter drive.

The input end of the spring is bent outward and is referred to as the control tang. The control tang fits into a slot in the stop collar that is located between the input and output hubs and over the wrap spring. If the stop collar is allowed to rotate with the input hub, the clutch is engaged. If the stop collar is stopped from rotating the control tang connected to it is forced back and the spring opens. This allows the input hub to continue rotating without transmitting torque to the output hub; therefore, stopping the planter drive.

The stop collar is controlled by the use of an electric solenoid and an actuator arm. When the selector switch on the tractor control box is in the OFF position the solenoid coil is NOT ENERGIZED and the actuator arm will not contact the stop on the stop collar allowing it to rotate with the hubs and drive the planter.

When the operational switch is in the “DISENGAGE” (right or left) position the solenoid coil IS ENERGIZED and the plunger in the solenoid coil pulls the actuator arm against the stop on the stop collar, disengaging the wrap spring and stopping the planter drive.

DUAL LIFT ASSIST WHEELS


Model 3140

Dual lift assist wheel equipped machines require use of a quick hitch (customer-supplied) and the top link pin is not used.

A single control valve operates the dual lift assist wheels.

When raising a planter equipped with dual lift assist wheels, the front of the planter should raise and then the back using the lift assist wheels to raise the rear of the planter. When lowering the planter, the lift assist wheels should begin to lower the rear of the planter before lowering the front of the planter.

If the machine is equipped with both the Dual Lift Assist Wheel Package and Wing Down Flex Cylinder Package, a single control valve operates both options. As the dual lift assist wheel cylinders extend to raise the toolbar, the wing down flex cylinders retract to flex the wings up 5° for added clearance when turning.

The flow control valve must be adjusted so that the wing down flex cylinders start to retract before the lift assist cylinders start to raise the toolbar. This will prevent the wings from drooping as the toolbar is raised.

Dual lift assist wheels hydraulics can also be plumbed into the 3 point lift circuit. A flow control valve determines the correct sequence of events to allow the dual lift assist wheel cylinders to operate at the correct time in conjunction with the 3 point hitch lift circuit. See “Flow Control Valve Adjustment”.

See “Tractor Preparation And Hookup” for additional information.

ACCUMULATOR

An accumulator is standard in Dual Lift Assist Wheel Packages for Model 3140 Stack Folding 16 Row 30" Planters to absorb shock loads to the lift assist wheel arms during transport.

After initial dealer installation no maintenance should be necessary on the sealed system.

EXAMPLE: 30" row spacing 17' 5" equals 1∕1000 acre.

26 seeds counted x 1000 = 26,000 seeds per acre

Seed count can be affected by drive wheel and seed meter drive ratio, tire pressure, and/or seed meter malfunction.

1. If seed check shows average distance between seeds in inches is significantly different than seed rate chart indicates, first check drive ratio between drive wheel and seed meter. Check drive wheel air pressure, check for incorrect sprocket(s) in driveline and check drive and driven sprockets on transmission(s) for proper selection.

2. Check for seed meter malfunction. For example, if spacing between kernels of corn at the transmission setting being used is 8" and a gap of 16" is observed, a finger has lost its seed and not functioned properly. If two seeds are found within a short distance of each other, the finger has metered two seeds instead of one.

NOTE: Singulator settings are marked from 0 - 3.

NOTE: Mixing seed sizes and shapes affects meter performance. Use consistent seed size and shape.

NOTE: Use 1 tablespoon powdered graphite with each standard hopper fill of seed. Seed treatment, foreign material, dirt or seed chaff may cause gradual reduction of seed disc fill (population). See “Additives” pages for more information.

NOTE: Excessive seed treatment, humidity, and light-weight seed can affect meter performance. Use ½ cup of talc with each standard hopper fill of seed and mix thoroughly to coat all seeds and adjust rates as needed. Use of talc aids seed flow into meter, singulation, and disc seed drop.

ADDITIVES

The use of graphite is recommended to promote seed flow, provide lubrication for the seed meter and to help dissipate static charge buildup. Among the available dry seed lubricants graphite is the most effective and easiest to use and it requires no mechanical agitation

CONVENTIONAL HOPPERS

NOTE: DO NOT apply graphite only in center of hopper. It will filter too quickly through the seed and not distribute as evenly as desired.

Apply graphite around outer perimeter of hopper.

BULK FILL HOPPERS

Mix 1 pound bottle of powdered graphite each time the bulk seed hopper is filled. Graphite should be added in layers as the bulk seed hoppers are filled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

Adding graphite to conventional hopper Adding graphite bulk fill hopper

NOTE: Additional graphite may be required to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components. More frequent cleaning of monitor seed tubes may be necessary due to use of additional graphite.

Talc seed lubricant may be used as a drying agent in addition to graphite lubrication. The drying agent may improve seed release and/or

to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components.

1. Fill hopper ½ full of seed, add ¼ cup (conventional); 2 pounds (Bulk Fill) of talc and

mix thoroughly.

2. Finish filling hopper, add another ¼ cup (conventional); 2 pounds (Bulk Fill) of talc and mix thoroughly.

3. Adjust rate of talc use as needed so all seeds are coated, while avoiding a buildup of talc in bottom of hopper.

Humid conditions and/or small sized seeds with extra seed treatment may require additional talc to maintain meter performance.

NOTE: Liquid seed treatments or innoculants may create buildup on the seed disc or brushes. Check frequently for proper population and/or seed delivery when using any liquid seed treatment.

Completely mix all treatments with seed following manufacturers’ recommendations. Seed treatment dumped on top of seed after hopper is filled may not mix properly and cause seed bridging, reducing population or stopping meter from planting.

BAYER FLUENCY AGENT

Bayer Fluency Agent is an alternate seed lubricant by Bayer Crop Science. The intent of this product is to replace graphite and talc lubricants and to lower the amount of dust emissions from planter vacuum fans.

This product, as tested by Kinze, is compatible with Kinze’s bulk fill system and vacuum meters. Due to limited testing, wear life characteristics of meters and bulk fill systems that use Bayer Fluency Agent are not yet known. Please follow

Bayer Fluency Agent instructions for rates and mixing directions.

NOTE: Presently, Bayer Fluency Agent is only required to be used in Canada with Bulk Fill or Vacuum planters that plant corn or beans treated with neonicotinoids. Farms outside of Canada, farms not using seed treated with neonicotinoids, and farms not using pneutmatic metering devices do not need to use Bayer Fluency

Agent. All planters not equipped with vacuums or fans are exempt from using Bayer Fluency Agent.

These planting rate charts apply to Kinze Model 3140 planters.

NOTICE

Sprocket combinations in these charts are for average conditions.

Changes in sprocket combinations may be required for desired planting population. ALWAYS MAKE FIELD CHECKS TO BE SURE

YOU ARE PLANTING AT DESIRED RATE.

NOTICE

Seed additives added in the hopper may affect finger pickup seed meter performance and accelerate wear.

NOTE: Seed size and shape may affect planting rate.

NOTE: Not all row spacings listed apply to all size planters.

NOTE: Speeds above 6.0 MPH (10 KPH) can adversely affect seed spacing.

MECHANICAL

Finger Pickup Corn Meter

Larger grades generally plant more accurately at the high end of the ground speed range than smaller grades. Higher than optimum speeds may result in population rate increase or higher incidence of doubles, particularly with small seed. Medium round corn seed is most desirable for planting accuracy at optimum speed.

Finger Pickup Oil Sunflower Meter

Larger grades generally plant more accurately at the high end of the ground speed range than smaller grades. Higher than optimum speeds may result in population rate increase or higher incidence of doubles, particularly with small seed. No. 3 and/or No. 4 size oil sunflower seeds are recommended for use in finger pickup seed meters equipped with oil sunflower fingers. No. 1 and/or No. 2 size confectionery sunflower seeds are recommended for use in finger pickup seed meters equipped with corn fingers.

“Determining Pounds Per Acre (Brush-Type Seed Meter)” in “Check Seed Population” in Machine Operation section of this manual.

NOTE: Planting speed can affect actual seeding rate. Make a field check and adjust transmission setting to obtain desired seed drop.

NOTE: Seed population per acre with 15" rows double rate for 30" rows, as well as 18" rows versus 36" rows and 19" rows versus 38" rows, at listed sprocket combination. See following pages.

NOTE: Half Rate (2 to 1) Drive Reduction Package may be required to obtain desired population and seed spacing when planting 15" row soybeans or other crops. Half Rate Drive with brush-type seed meters reduces planter transmission speed. Seeding rate will be approximately 50% of chart reading when using Half Rate

(2 To 1) Drive Reduction Package.

EXAMPLE: 30" row spacing using 60 cell seed discs in brush-type seed meters.

80,928 ÷ 2 = 40,464 Population (2.6" Seed Spacing x 2 = 5.2" Seed Spacing)

VACUUM

NOTE: Contact wheel drive sprocket references are located in each rate chart title.

NOTE: 15, 19, and 30 tooth drive sprockets are NOT applicable to all rate charts. Check chart titles to ensure proper rate chart is selected. 15 tooth sprocket requires 218 pitch No. 40 chain. 19 tooth sprocket requires 218 pitch No. 40 chain. 30 tooth sprocket requires 224 pitch No. 40 chain.

NOTE: DO NOT USE 44 tooth sprockets (60 cell soybean discs) with Liquid Fertilizer Package.

APPROXIMATE HILLS/ACRE FOR VARIOUS ROW WIDTHS

Due to variations in cotton seed size, meters equipped with 12 cell acid-delinted hill-drop cotton discs will plant from 3 to 6 seeds per cell. Select proper disc for seed size range to be planted.

To determine planter transmission setting,

determine desired hill spacing and select the transmission ratio closest to the hill spacing in inches on the chart. To decrease population increase spacing. To increase population decrease spacing.

To determine population per acre,

determine average seeds per hill and hills per acre by doing a field check. Measure

1⁄1000 of an acre (1⁄1000 acre = Length of row 17' 5" for 30" row widths, 13' 10" for 38" row widths and 13' 1" for 40" row

widths). Multiply average seeds per hill by hills per acre. EXAMPLE: 4 seeds per hill x (13 hills x 1000) = 52,000

NOTE: The chart above represents average values and should be used only as a starting point. The granular chemical flows through the given meter opening at a nearly uniform rate regardless of roller speed. Your actual rate will vary depending upon the insecticide you are using, your planting speed and your plant population. Planting speed/ground speed has the greatest effect on application rate.

Your actual rate must be checked in the field with the actual insecticide that you are using and at the speed and population at which you will be planting. See “Checking Granular Chemical Application Rate” page for additional information.

WARNING

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous if not selected and handled with care.

Always read and follow directions supplied by the chemical manufacturer.

LUBRICATION SYMBOLS

Lubricate at frequency indicated with SAE multipurpose grease.

Lubricate at frequency indicated with high quality SAE 10 weight oil or spray lubricant.

SEALED BEARINGS

Sealed bearings are used on your Kinze planter to provide trouble free operation.

These are located on drive shafts, row units, and transmission bearings. Sealed bearings are lubricated for life and are not serviceable.

Sealed bearing (Typical)

WRAP SPRING WRENCH ASSEMBLY

1. Remove "-20 x ½" cap screw securng idler assembly to wrap spring wrench tightener shaft and

2. Remove wrap spring wrench from planter.

DRIVE CHAINS

Lubricate all transmission and drive chains daily with a high quality chain lubricant. Extreme operating conditions such as dirt, temperature, or speed may require more frequent lubrication. If a chain becomes stiff, it should be removed, soaked, and washed in solvent to loosen and remove dirt from joints. Soak chain in oil so lubricant can penetrate between rollers and bushings.

BRUSH-TYPE SEED METER MAINTENANCE

Stainless steel wear band

Model 3140

Meter housing

Upper brush

Seed disc

Lower brush

Upper brush retainer

Brush-type seed meter seed disc installed Brush-type seed meter parts

Use clean, high quality seed. Damaged or cracked seed, hulls, or foreign materials can become lodged in upper brush and greatly reduce meter accuracy. Remove seed disc daily and check for buildup of foreign material on seed disc, particularly in seed loading slots. Clean disc by washing it with soap and water. Check for cracked seed, hulls, etc. lodged between brush retainer and stainless steel wear band which can greatly reduce accuracy of the meter because upper brush will not be able to retain seed in seed disc pocket. Thoroughly clean brush areas of meter housing.

SEED DISC WEAR

Seed loading slots

Seed pocket

Most seed disc wear is found in the agitation groove area (area between seed loading slots). Wear affects planting accuracy at high RPM. Lay a straight edge across disc surface at agitation groove area and measure gap between disc and straight edge.

If agitation groove areas are worn in excess of .030" (7.6 mm) and accuracy starts to drop off at higher meter RPM, replace seed disc. Estimated seed disc life expectancy under normal operating conditions is approximately 200 acres (81 hectares) per row. Severe operating conditions such as dust, lack of lubrication or abrasive seed coating could reduce seed disc life expectancy to under 100 acres (40.5 hectares) per row.

STAINLESS STEEL WEAR BAND

NOTICE

If wear band wears through or if meter is used without

wear band in place, meter housing may be damaged.

Stainless steel wear band protects meter housing from wear and is .030" (.076 cm) thick. Replace wear band when there is approximately .020" (.050 cm) of wear in primary wear area. Estimated life expectancy of stainless steel wear band is 240-800 acres (97-324 hectares) per row.

UPPER BRUSH

Upper brush

Upper brush holds seed in seed disc pocket in seed retention area. Brush must apply enough pressure against seed in seed disc pocket as disc rotates through seed retention area to prevent seed from dropping out of disc pocket. A damaged spot, excessive brush wear, or foreign material lodged in brush may greatly reduce meter performance.

Seed drop are a

Lower brush

Replace upper brush at 120-400 acres (49-162 hectares) per row of use or sooner if damage or excessive wear is found.

Position upper brush into inner perimeter of seed retention area. Make sure base of brush is tight against bottom of meter housing. Install brush retainer and three hex head screws.

Tighten screws in sequence shown in photo at right.

Upper brush installation

NOTE: Use GD11122 upper brush retainer for soybean and cotton discs. Use GD8237 upper brush retainer for milo/grain sorghum discs.

LOWER BRUSH

Lower brush moves seed down seed loading slots to seed pockets, isolates seed in reservoir from entering seed tube, and cleans seed loading slots. Estimated lower brush life expectancy is 240-800 acres (97-324 hectares) per row. Replace lower brush if bristles are deformed or missing, or if there are cracks in brush retainer.

CLEANING BRUSH-TYPE SEED METER FOR STORAGE

1. Remove meter from seed hopper by removing two thumbscrews securing meter to hopper.

2. Remove seed disc and wash with soap and water and dry thoroughly.

3. Remove three hex head screws from brush retainer. Remove brush retainer and upper brush.

4. Remove three hex head screws from lower brush. Remove lower brush and stainless steel wear band.

5. Wash all parts and meter housing with soap and water and dry thoroughly.

6. Inspect all parts and replace worn parts.

7. Reassemble meter except for seed disc. Store meter in a dry, rodent-free space with seed disc removed.

VACUUM MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE

Dust accumulates in manifolds and hoses during normal operation. Clean manifolds annually. Abnormally dusty planting conditions may require more frequent cleaning.

1. Remove vacuum hose from each seed meter.

2. Operate vacuum fan at full hydraulic flow from tractor for two minutes to clear manifolds, hoses, and fittings of dust and debris.

3. Shut down fan and replace hoses

Before each planting season inspect seed discs and singulator and clean or replace as needed.

Use clean, high quality seed for maximum meter accuracy. Damaged or cracked seed, hulls, and foreign material may become lodged in seed disc orifices and greatly reduce meter accuracy.

Inspect and clean seed discs daily checking for any buildup of foreign material and blocked orifices. If seed disc orifices are plugged frequently with seed remnants, remnants ejector wheel may need to be replaced. Clean seed disc by washing it with soap and water. Dry thoroughly.

Inspect singulator blades and guide for wear after every 200 acres (81 hectares) per row of operation. If adjustment of singulator blade does not affect meter performance or if blades appear worn, singulator blade may need to be replaced.

Replace seed disc or vacuum seal if abnormally high vacuum is required or if consistent operation cannot be achieved.

See

"Preparation for Storage" on page 5-27 for additional Vacuum Seed Metering System maintenance.

NOTE: Remove seed discs from meters for annual storage and store them vertically on a dowel or pipe.

SEED METER CLEANOUT

NOTE: Use of damaged seed or seed containing foreign material will cause plugging of seed cell orifices and require more frequent seed meter cleanout to prevent underplanting.

Thorough seed meter cleanout is important to maintain genetic purity.

1. Disengage seed drive and remove seed hopper and meter.

2. Dump seed from right rear corner of hopper into a container.

3. Lay hopper on its right side. Push release button and rotate seed meter vacuum cover clockwise to align keyhole slots with bolt heads. Lift off cover.

15" SEED OPENER DISC BLADE/BEARING ASSEMBLY

NOTICE

Excessive blade contact may result in premature disc opener bearing/hub failures and excessive wear on seed tube guard/inner scraper. When properly adjusted, if one blade is held in fixed position, opposite blade should rotate with less than 5 pounds force (22 newtons) at outer edge of blade.

Maintain approximately 1" ± ½" (3 ± .5 cm) of blade-to-blade contact to properly open and form seed trench. As blade diameter decreases due to wear, it is necessary to relocate machine bushings from inside to outside to maintain 1" ± ½" (3 ± .5 cm) of contact.

Approximately

3 cm ± .5 cm blade-to-blade contact.

NOTE: Proper blade clearance is critical. Blades should have 1" ± ½" (3 ± .5 cm) contact in this area. When

blades are turned by hand in opposite directions against each other, there should be only light resistance to turning. Re-adjust blade scraper if necessary to center it between the blades.

NOTE: Replace blades If proper blade-to-blade contact cannot be maintained after relocating machine bushings or if blade diameter wears below 14½" (37 cm).

If the valve fails to function properly or requires frequent adjustment, the needle valve should be removed for inspection. Check for foreign material and contamination on both the valve and the seating area of the valve body.

Replace any components found to be defective.

NOTE: The flow control valve must be installed with the arrow pointed toward the planter.

NOTE: When oil is cold, hydraulics operate slowly. Make sure all adjustments are made with warm oil.
