The CCS fan and vacuum system is designed to operate on tractors that have the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab (to control vacuum level).

An in-line flow control valve must be used when vacuum system is connected to the following:

  • Power beyond circuit.
  • Dual vacuum motors are installed and controlled with one SCV.
  • Connected to a tractor without the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab. See your John Deere dealer.
