Hydraulic Charge and Bleed
Connect the planter to a suitable hydraulic source and
check the condition of the hydraulic systems:
“Unfolding The Planter” on page 19,
“Raising/Lowering Planter” on page 22,
“Folding the Planter” on page 24,
“Fan Operation” on page 39,
“Marker Operation” on page 41, and if hydraulic drive is
installed, run a Fill Disk sequence to check motor.
See “Bleeding Hydraulics” on page 81 if any circuits do
not operate smoothly.
Console Installation
The YP1225 & YP1625 Planter’s standard seed monitor
system includes a virtual terminal and switch panel that
must be mounted in the tractor cab. As supplied by
DICKEY-john, the kit includes a flat bracket for the mod-
ules, and ball swivel for mounting the bracket in the trac-
tor.
The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.
Refer to the DICKEY-john manual for harness connec-
tions. Route wiring harnesses with enough slack to allow
for tractor movement, especially on articulating tractors.
Monitor Setup
Refer to the DICKEY-john Intelli-ag Operator manual for
general system information. Data specific to your planter
model is provided in a separate Quick Start Guide. Con-
figure the system with this information prior to first use.
The Quick Start guides, however, are not specific to indi-
vidual model row spacings. Use the following data:

Mount the modules so that they are easy to monitor during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.
