Flow: Ground Drive Row Hopper Finger
Pick-Up & Brush Meter Planters
On models YP1630F, the PTO system drives one motor,
for the fertilizer delivery fan.
Adjustment Steps:
1.
Have the Operator and Seed Rate manuals at hand,
so that the fan rpm target is known for the material
to be applied and the rate range.
Note: Loading material is not required. The fertilizer
meter does not operate during this setup.
2. Hitch the tractor to be used, and install the PTO
pump. Raise the planter.
Refer to Figure 15
3.
Release the lock disc counter-clockwise to
release the knob . Turn the knob fully clockwise to
shut off flow to the motors.
Entanglement and Crushing Hazard:
Use extreme caution in the hitch area when the PTO is
operating.
4. Start the tractor, and seed monitor. Bring the PTO
up to expected field rpm (which is often not the full
1000 rpm).
5. With one person observing the Magnehelic
®
gauge,
turn the knob counter-clockwise until the fan is at
the recommended pressure for this planter
configuration, fertilizer and application rate.
Secure the knob at this setting with the lock disc.
6. Shut down the PTO.
Monitor pressure when planting. If it is lower than during
flow setup, perform the setup steps again, and set the
valve for a higher pressure.
