The vacuum metering system should be operated with tractors that have the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab.

In line flow-control valves are needed when:

• Vacuum system is connected to the power beyond circuit.
• Dual vacuum motors are installed and controlled with one SCV.
• Vacuum system is connected to a tractor without the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab.
