MaxEmerge™ 5e Hopper

A - ExactEmerge™ Discharge Elbow

B - MaxEmerge™ 5e Discharge Elbow

1. Start CCS™ blower.

2. Remove the lid from the affected row unit hopper.

3. Depending which type of meter being used on the planter, observe the amount of air flowing through the hopper discharge elbow. ExactEmerge™ meter has a short discharge elbow (A) with a mini-hopper. MaxEmerge™ 5e meter has a longer discharge elbow (B) which accommodates the various sized hoppers.

   • If Low Air Flow happens, the CCS™ delivery hose has plugged. See Remove CCS™ Hose Blockage in this procedure.
   • If High Air Flow happens, product has bridged in CCS™ manifold. See Product Has Bridged in CCS™ Tank Manifold in this procedure.
   
   

Remove CCS™ Hose Blockage

1. Turn off the CCS™ blower.

2. Remove the seed delivery hose from the affected row unit.

3. Shake the seed delivery hose vigorously from the hopper to the CCS™ tank. Shake hose until blockage spills from the end of hose.

4. Reconnect hose.

5. Start CCS™ blower and check that seed flows into hopper.

6. If no seed flow is observed, repeat procedure.

A - Nozzle Insert

B - Pins

1. The following items must be checked to ensure proper operation of the CCS™ system:

   • CCS™ tank pressure set to recommended setting for crop being planted.
   • Tank agitator turning when CCS™ blower is on.
   
   

2. Nozzle inserts (A) installed or removed for the specific crop being planted.

3. Agitator pins (B) centered between tank nozzles.

4. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 24 in of tank pressure or damage occurs to the hydraulic motor and seed tank lids.

   If all conditions are addressed and bridging still occurs, increase CCS™ tank pressure in 1 inch increments until seed flows properly to all rows.
