Electric Clutch Lock-Up
Refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17
During system flushing/winterizing, or in case of elec-
tric clutch failure, the electric clutch can be mechani-
cally engaged. If metric bolts required cannot be
located, borrow three from storage locations near the
clutches on the YP2425 planter.
1. Align the cutouts with the holes .
2. Insert M8-1.25 × 14mm long metric bolts .
If you observe half the hole obstructed by a metal disc
, you are not at a cutout.
If the entire hole is obstructed by a metal disc , you
are not at a cutout.
When at a cutout, the bolt will screw in with minimal
resistance until the bolt head reaches the clutch face.
Note: Use only 14mm length bolts. Longer bolts will
damage the clutch. Shorter bolts may not effect a
lock-up.
IMPORTANT !
Clutch lock-up for field operations introduces risks of
spill and/or equipment damage. With the clutch
locked-up, perform:
no highway movements,
no reverse movements,
no movements with planter hitched but seed
monitor off (valves will close),
no movements unhitched from the planter
unless gauge line is open, and
no empty-tank (dry pump) movements.
In lock-up, the pump will be operating whenever the
main cart wheels are turning.
