CAUTION: Do not operate CCS blower without tank lids installed.
Harmful chemicals can be blown into face and seed delivery lines plug.
A63281-UN-17SEP08
A - Flow Control Valve Handle
To set the tank pressure proceed as follows:-
Make sure that tank lids are closed.
-
IMPORTANT: Warm oil by running vacuum blowers (if equipped) or install a hose loop in SCV per tractor operator's manual. DO NOT use CCS fan to warm oil or seed delivery hoses can plug.
Warm oil for 15 minutes before setting pressure.
-
Lower machine.
-
Place CCS SCV in constant retract detent.
-
Open CCS fan flow control valve handle (A) (counterclockwise) until seed starts flowing to row hoppers.
-
IMPORTANT: DO NOT exceed 24 in. of tank pressure or damage can occur to the hydraulic motor and seed tank lids.
NOTE: If low warnings are received while planting and row meters are empty, increase tank pressure by two inches until meters stay full.
When hoppers are full and machine is not moving, adjust pressure according to crop being planted. See the following CCS Tank Pressure Settings table.
