Connecting VACUMETER™ Using Planter Flow Control Valve to Control Motor (30-60 Series Row-Crop Tractors)

IMPORTANT: Damage to blower motor will occur if hoses are connected incorrectly. Check hydraulic connections before operating vacuum motor. See CHECKING HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS in Preparing the Vacuum Meter section.

NOTE: For non John Deere tractors, see dealer for vacuum motor hook-up.

1. Mount planter flow control valve (A) assembly on cab.

2. Insert pressure hose (B) with planter flow control valve (A) into right-hand SCV coupler.

NOTE: Return hose must be equipped with a return coupler with cap.

3. 30 TO 40 SERIES TRACTORS: Insert return hose (C) with special tip into auxiliary return port.

50 TO 60 SERIES TRACTORS: Insert return hose (C) with special tip into left-hand SCV coupler or motor return.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to vacuum motor, do not return SCV lever to neutral to shut off vacuum.

ALL 30 TO 60 SERIES TRACTORS should be equipped with a selective control valve lever stop to hold SCV lever in forward position for running. SCV lever should be pushed into "float" position to turn it off, not to neutral. The tractor flow control valve must be set to maximum and the planter flow control valve (A) used to control vacuum level.
