Cleaning Vacuum Manifold SystemDirt or seed inoculant/treatment may build up in vacuum manifold system and cause low vacuum at planting units. This could result in loss of seed metering accuracy.
Clean air manifold system at least once a week during operation or more often in severe dusty conditions. Clean as follows: 1. Turn on vacuum blower(s) and set hydraulic flow to 75 percent.2. One at a time, remove vacuum hoses from meters. Inspect and clean all straw and/or foreign material from both attaching hose ends. Shake hose for a few seconds and replace it on meter. 3. Remove end caps from manifold tubes one at a time, then reinstall. |
CAUTION:
Follow chemical manufacturer's precautions when handling parts coated with seed treatments. Use proper skin, eye and respiratory protection.
