8.0 HYDRAULIC DRIVE

All aircarts equipped with the Raven Viper Pro™ monitoring system have
hydraulically driven meters. These motors have a maximum speed of 113 RPM
and a minimum speed of 2 RPM. Speeds in excess of the maximum may result
in premature wear or failure of the motors. Reducing the rotational speeds of the
motor below 2 RPM may result in erratic metering which may affect the seeding
rate.

Each hydraulic motor requires a flow rate of 1.0 gallons per minute. The
maximum torque output is 26 ft-lbs. The maximum inlet pressure of the hydraulic
motors is 1500 psi. The inlet pressure is regulated by a pressure reducing valve
as mentioned in section 8.1.

1. Remove the two flange nuts

holding the hydraulic motor
mount to the meter body, the
lynch pin on the roller shaft and
