|
Remove hose by pulling
straight off (do not twist) from nozzle to remove material causing
plug. See BRIDGED AND BLOCKED CCS SYSTEM in Pro-Series XP Central
Commodity System section.
|
| |
Hoses routed flat or uphill or have large droops.
|
Reroute hoses correctly.
|
| |

|
Use more talc and mix
thoroughly or wait for drier conditions.
|
| |

of time.
|
Turn fan off if not
planting for more than a few minutes.
|
|
Uneven product distribution between row units.
| Product level too low for accurate delivery.
|
CCS nozzle must be covered
to deliver seed.
|
| |

|
Remove screen and tap
until clear.
|
| |
Discharge elbow plugged.
|
Remove elbow and clean.
If required for seed
used, make sure that grey discharge elbows are installed properly
on 36 row and larger machines. See OPERATING CCS SYSTEM WHEN PLANTING
STANDARD SEED SIZES in Pro-Series XP Central Commodity System.
|
| |
Air volume too low.
|
Increase CCS tank pressure.

|
Shut off tractor, engage
park brake and remove outlet delivery hose from CCS tank (pull straight
off—do not twist). Loosen or remove seed stuck in nozzle. Whenever
planter is lowered and stationary for more than a few minutes with
seed in CCS tank, shut off tractor and turn key off. Agitators run
anytime planter is lowered and key is on and can cause seed to pack
into nozzles.

Verify tank pressure
is set to recommended pressure.
|
| |
Blockage in air hose.
|
Cleanout meter using
tray. Reinstall seed disc and close vacuum dome. Start CCS fan and
shake hose vigorously near meter. Continue shaking hose closer and
closer to tank. Increase tank pressure, if necessary to blow seed
out easier. If meter fills with seed, repeat process until no more
seed is in hose.
Check that both tank
lids are securely closed.
|
| |

|
With parking brake engaged,
transmission in park and tractor off, remove outlet air hose from
tank. Check for obstruction and remove if found.

air.
|
Close doors.
|
| |

|
Clear plug and decrease
CCS tank pressure.
If required for seed
used, make sure that grey discharge elbows are installed properly
on 36 row and larger machines. See OPERATING CCS SYSTEM WHEN PLANTING
STANDARD SEED SIZES in Pro-Series XP Central Commodity System section.
|
| |
Seed bridging in CCS tank.
|
Check if agitator is
running. Check fuse, power connector, and ground lead. See BRIDGED
AND BLOCKED CCS SYSTEM in Pro-Series XP Central Commodity System section.
Increase CCS tank pressure.
