Determining Plenum Pressure

NOTE: Ambient air temperature and altitude can both affect air flow. Adjust plenum pressure when these conditions affect performance.

Plenum pressure is correctly set when:

  • Equal amounts of product are delivered to each boot.
  • Tubes and hoses do not plug.
  • Hoses empty quickly and evenly when shut down.
  • Seed is not blowing out of seed trench.

1890 CCS Manifold Pressure Settings
Pressure Used for: Notes
     
14" H2O Sorghum  
     
30" H2O Wheat Adjust pressure upward if plugging occurs. High seeding speeds and/or high seeding rates may require higher manifold pressure setting.
     
30" H2O Soybeans Adjust pressure upward if plugging occurs. High seeding speeds and/or high seeding rates may require higher manifold pressure setting.
