Important Safety Information

For your safety and to develop a better understanding of your equipment, thoroughly read the Operator’s Sections of this manual before operation.

Safety Notations

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates that there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precautions must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and conﬁguration of equipment; hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Watch for the following Safety Notations throughout your Operator’s Manual:

DANGER!

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.

WARNING!

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION!

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices

Safety Rules

These rules and instructions

must be reviewed at least annually

by all operators!

Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, caused by failure of the operator to follow safety precautions. Even though your implement is designed with many built-in safety features, the following precautions are mandatory to prevent such accidents.

Make sure everyone that uses this machine has read the Operator’s Manual and understands how to operate it safely.

This Operator’s Manual is considered a part of the implement and should remain so when loaned or sold.

Prior To Operation

1. Do not stand between tractor and implement during hitching.

2. Do not stand between cart and implement during hitching.

3. Do not operate without safety chain properly attached to tractor.

4. Make sure hydraulic lines are attached to the correct ports.

5. Handle and apply chemically treated seeds according to manufacturer's recommendations.

CAUTION!

Some illustrations in this manual may show shields or cover panels removed for clarity. Never operate unit without all shields and cover panels in place.

During Operation

1. Do not allow anyone to operate this machine who has not

been properly trained in its safe operation.

2. Do not let children operate the implement.

3. Never dismount from a moving tractor

4. Put tractor in park turn off engine and remove key when making any adjustments to the implement

5. Do not leave the tractor or the implement unattended with the engine running.

6. Never allow passengers.

7. Travel slowly over rough terrain and be alert to holes and gullies.

8. Loose fitting clothing should not be worn as it may catch in moving parts.

9. If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it immediately. Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high pressure. A stream of high pressure oil may easily penetrate the skin as with modern needle-less vaccination equipment - but with the exception that hydraulic fluid may cause blood poisoning. It is imperative that the connections are tight and that all lines and pipes are in good condition. If an injury is caused by the escaping hydraulic fluid, seea doctor at once! Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting any lines or pipes between the implement and the tractor hydraulic system.

10. Keep all guards and shields in place.

11. Do not turn tractor too tight; implement may ride up on wheels causing machine and bodily damage.

DANGER!

Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burns or death from electrocution. Make sure there is enough clearance between all air drill components and overhead power lines. Do not use loading auger near power lines. Do not climb on walkboard near power lines.

port higher than the base end port.

14444

Hydraulic Hose Clips

Figure 2-5

IMPORTANT: When the lift cylinder hoses are installed carefully check them to be sure they are not rubbing on any sharp edges. Check that the hoses are loose enough to allow the implement to fold or unfold and raise or lower without damage. Be sure that hoses will not bind or get pinched during operation. If hoses are in a position where they might get damaged change their route until they are safe.

Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting System

The implement lifting system is equipped with rephasing type hydraulic cylinders thatrequire a special procedure for bleeding air from the hydraulic circuits. Read and follow the procedure carefully. The rephasing type cylinders will not function properly with air in the hydraulic circuit. This will cause uneven seeding depth across the implement.

NOTE: Check the hydraulic ﬂuid in the tractor reservoir and ﬁll to the proper level. Add ﬂuid to the system as needed. A low reservoir level may draw air back into the system, causing jerky or uneven cylinder movement.

1. Jack up and support the front member of each implement frame section at a point close to each gauge wheel.

2. With the frame blocked and supported, unpin the rod end of the gauge wheel cylinders. Pivot the cylinders up and wire; or otherwise safely support the rod end

14447

Center Hydraulic Cylinders

Figure 2-6

3. With the tractor engine at an idle speed, hold the remote lever on to put ﬂuid into the lifting circuit. When the outboard cylinders on both sides of the implement have completely extended, hold the remote lever on for one minute.

4. Retract the cylinder rods. Extend the rods again and hold the remote lever on for one more minute. Repeat this step two more times to completely bleed the system. If the gauge wheel leveling adjustments are to be made, leave the cylinders unpinned and the implement frame supported.

5. Recheck the tractor reservoir and fill to the proper level.

Fold Cylinders

DANGER!

The folding cylinders must be bled free of air before attempting to fold implement, otherwise severe damage and bodily injury may result. Refer to Figure 2-7:

34’ and 45’ Drills

Position main foldcylinders with base end toward center of the drill, rod end toward wings. Pin the base end to the fold cylinder lug. Secure the pin with the provided clip, refer to Figure 2-7. Leave rod end unhooked and block up in the air so that the rod will not come in contact with anything when extended. Do not connect rod end until after air is bled from fold circuit.

Section 2 Implement Assembly and Setup

45’ Drills

Position the outer fold cylinders with the base end toward the center of dill and rod ends out. Pin the base end to the cylinder lug and secure with clip. Leave rod end unhooked and block up so that the rod will not come in contact with anything when extended. Do not connect the rod end until after air is bled from the fold circuit.

Refer to Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9. Install hydraulic hoses. Note the hose lengths and be sure to use the correct length hose in each location. Start with the longest hose and work to the shortest.

Be sure to use the hydraulic hose clips on the openers and route the hoses through them. When the hoses are hooked up be sure that they are not twisted and will not get pinched when the implement is raised, lowered, folded or unfolded. Do not let the hoses rub on sharp edges and be sure there is enough slack for down-ﬂex.

NOTE: The SAE o-ring and JIC 37˚ ﬂare type hose connections do not require sealant for reconnecting. They do not require high torque for a good seal.

NOTE: Do not try to fold the implement unless the ﬂex limiter bars are installed.

Section 2 Implement Assembly and Setup

Bleeding the Folding System

1. Unpin the rod end of the fold cylinders and block up. Wire or otherwise safely support the cylinders so when the rod end is fully extended it does not contact anything.

2. Cycle the cylinders completely in and out a minimum of three times to purge the air from the fold system.

NOTE: On the 45‘ model if one side is completely in or out and the other side is not moving release the tractor hydraulic lever momentarily, reverse it and try again.

3. Fully extend the cylinders to repin the rod ends.

CAUTION!

Do not fold implement unless gauge wheel transport locks are installed.

4. Recheck the tractor reservoir and fill to the proper level.

Side-to Side Frame Leveling

Equal seeding depth across the drill can only be maintained if all frames are level. Leveling adjustments should be done during the initial setup of the drill. Periodic frame leveling should not be necessary, however, you may ﬁeld check the level by laying a straight edge across at least two frame members and out over a gauge wheel of that frame. Measure the distance from the bottom of the straight edge to the top of the gauge wheel tire. Compare this measurement at the other gauge wheel tires, step 4. If leveling is necessary follow the instructions listed.

45’ Drill Frame Leveling

1. The gauge wheel hydraulic circuit should be bled of air and full of oil, see Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting Sys- tem, this section, on page 24.

2. Hydraulically lower the entire implement frame. The frame should then be jacked up and supported, see Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting System, this section, on page 24, and implement sections one and six noncastored gauge wheel cylinders should be unpinned at the rod end and safely supported.

3. Retract all gauge wheel cylinders fully. Since the dual gauge wheels on the implement sections three and four are non-adjustable all adjustments will be made with these as a reference. A reference measurement must be taken from the top of the implement frame to the center of one dual gauge wheel axle, refer to Figure 2-10.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.

14575

Dual Gauge Wheel Arm

Figure 2-10

4. With all cylinders fully retracted lay a straight edge across at least two frame members of either implement section three or four and extend the straight edge out over the dual gauge wheel axle of that implement section. Measure the distance from the bottom of the straight edge to the center of the dual gauge wheel axle, approximately 11 5/8”.

Implement sections one and six non-castored gauge wheels (inboard) should center on the measurement determined above. Implement sections one and six (outboard) gauge wheels should measure approximately 1/2” higher (subtract 1/2” from your measurement) because they carry less weight.

5. Lay a straight edge across the top of at least two frame members of implement section one and out over the non-castored gauge wheel axle. Raise the unpinned gauge wheel and arm assembly up to where the center of the gauge wheel axle is at the measurement determined in step 4 above. Support the gauge wheel at that point. Swing the cylinder down to the gauge wheel arm and adjust the eye-bolt (#1), Figure 2-11, until the pin holes line up. Secure the eye-bolt with the jam nut and repin the cylinder to the gauge wheel arm.

6. Now move the straight edge so it lies over the castored gauge wheel axle. Adjust the eye-bolt at the base end of the cylinder until the center of the axle is approximately 1/2” higher (subtract 1/2” from your measurement) than the measurement determined in step 4. Secure eye-bolt by tightening the jam nuts.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for implement section six.

8. Make sure that all cylinders are securely pinned.

9. The center of the implement is held by the cart sling. This should be adjusted so the center of the machine is level during ﬁeld operation., refer to Figure 2-12.

10. For front-to-back leveling of the implement frame see

Cart Sling

Figure 2-12

14432

NOTE: Towers must be located so that there is no interference when wings are folded or unfolded. When towers have been installed very slowly fold implement while watching to be sure there is no interference. Do not stand under a wing while it is being folded or unfolded! If towers have any interference lower wing then move them slightly until they clear. Check clearance before installing hoses.

5. Implement sections one and fourgauge wheels should center on the measurement determined above. Lay a straight edge across the top of at least two frame members of implement section one and out over the noncastored gauge wheel axle. Raise the unpinned gauge wheel and arm assembly up to where the center of the gauge wheel axle is at the measurement determined in step 4 above. Support the gauge wheel at that point. Swing the cylinder down to the gauge wheel arm and adjust the eye-bolt (#1), refer to Figure 2-11, until the pin holes line up. Secure the eye-bolt with the jam nut and repin the cylinder onto the gauge wheel arm.

6. Repeat step 5 for implement section four.

7. Make sure that all cylinders are securely pinned.

8. The center of the implement is held by the cart sling, refer to Figure 2-12. This should be adjusted so the center of the machine is level during field operation.

9. For front-to-back leveling of the implement frame see

under “Adjustments” on page 60.

Distribution Towers and Hoses

Setting the Seeding Depth and Leveling Front-to-Rear

under “Adjustments” on page 60.

34’ Drill Frame Leveling

1. The gauge wheel hydraulic circuit should be bled of air and full of oil, see Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting Sys- tem, this section, on page 24.

3. Retract all gauge wheel cylinders fully. Since the dual gauge wheels on implement sections two and three are non-adjustable all adjustments will be made with these as a reference. A reference measurement must be taken from the top of the implement frame to the center of one dual gauge wheel axle.

4. With all cylinders fully retracted lay a straight edge across at least two frame members of either implement section two or three and extend the straight edge out over the dual gauge wheel axle of that implement section. Measure the distance from the bottom of the straight edge to the center of the dual gauge wheel axle, approximately 11 5/8”, refer to Figure 2-10.

NOTE: For best results distribution towers should be mounted as vertically as possible. Installing towers so that they lean strongly to one side may cause uneven distribution, especially on hillsides.

Refer to Figure 2-14 for tower mounting locations.

1. Install a tower support bracket at each location using the 1/2” u-bolt (#1), 1/2” lock washers (#2), and 1/2” nuts (#3), refer to Figure 2-13.

2. Position a tower on bracket and secure with 2 u-bolts. The bottom of lower round plate should be approximately 31 1/2 inches above the frame rails. Tower should be turned so that inlet tube is pointed toward the center of the drill. The center tower inlet should face the front, refer to Figure 2-15.

These 2 hoses should also be the same length, (longer than the others.)

7. Secure all hoses to the frame using 24” cable ties being sure hose will not be damaged during drill operation.

1” Secondary Hoses

NOTE: Seed hoses must be routed to prevent them from rubbing on sharp edges or being damaged when the implement is raised, lowered, folded, or unfolded. Hoses must be pushed fully into distribution tower ports until they contact their stop.

With the implement width and row spacing in mind refer to the appropriate hose routing illustration for the correct assembly of hoses.

1. Loosen bolts holding tower halves together, refer to Figure 2-16.

Do not remove bolts.

Primary 2 1/2” Distribution Hoses

1. Start with center tower #3. Route hose as shown in Figure 2-17. Slide hose at least two inches onto tower inlet. (Slide clamp over the end ﬁrst)

2. Allow enough hose so that implement raising, lowering, folding and unfolding will not pinch or bind hose.

3. Using a hacksaw cut hose so that it will slide onto meter outlets up to end of ﬂare.

4. Slide clamp over hose end then slide hose onto meter outlet. Install clamp so that it will not interfere with other hoses, clamps, or meter door latch handles.

5. Repeat this procedure on towers #2 and #4. Cut these two the same length but longer than the center hose.

6. Repeat the same procedures for towers #1 and #5.

Section 3 Operating Instructions

General Description

The seed metering mechanism of this drill is powered by the cart tire and is driven at a rate proportional to distance driven. This ensures that the rate applied in pounds per acre remains constant as ground speed is varied. The pounds per acre rate is adjustable and can be set using the gearbox, speed change sprocket and hi-low gears on the meter. The metering device is driven through an electro-magnetic clutch which will not engage unless the fan motor is running at high speed and the implement is lowered past an adjustable height switch. This prevents the primary seed hoses from being plugged by seed being metered into them without the fan running and also allows the seed to be shut off automatically when the drill is lifted on head lands. The seed bin is sealed and held at the same pressure as the meter chamber so that metering is controlled mechanically and not by air ﬂow ﬂuctuations. The metered seed is carried by air through the 5 primary hoses to the distribution towers on the implement. These towers then divide the air and seed into individual rows and it is carried to the openers in the secondary hoses.

Prestart Checklist

• Lubricate the drill as indicated in the Lubrication portion

of the “Maintenance and Lubrication” section starting on page 69.

• Check the tires for proper inflation, see the Tire Inflation

Chart in the “Appendix” section starting on page 86.

• Check the chains for proper tension and alignment as

shown in the Lubrication portion of the “Maintenance and Lubrication” section starting on page 69.

• Perform all beginning of season and daily service items

discussed in the “Maintenance and Lubrication” section starting on page 69.

• Check the drill for worn or damaged parts and repair or

replace them before going to the field.

• All nuts, bolts and screws should be checked. Refer to

the Torque Value Chart in the “Appendix” section starting on page 86.

Attaching the Drill to the Tractor

NOTE: The tractor must be of adequate size to pull the drill. When determining size of tractor keep in mind the soil, terrain and row spacing.

18. Slowly turn on ﬂow of grain and ﬁll bin. Slow down and then stop ﬂow of grain as level nears the top of the bin to avoid overﬂow.

19. Turn off the auger and return to storage position. Replace the storage lock pin and clip. Be sure that the handle latch is secure.

20. Turn off the tractor hydraulics and then return the ﬂow diverter valve handle to innermost (fold) position.

CAUTION!

Do not turn the diverter handle until the hydraulics have been shut off. If it is moved with hydraulics still on, the implement wings will suddenly begin folding.

21. Remove any foreign matter from strainer basket.

22. Wipe any grain or foreign matter from lid seal ﬂange area on top of bin. Close lid and securely latch.

23. Before moving the drill check that the bin lid is latched, the auger control is off, the ﬂow diverter handle is inward, and the auger is securely latched in transport storage position.

NOTE: When leveled off, the top cone of the bin holds approximately 50 bushels; the center area 50 bushels; and the lower cone 50 bushels.

Field Operations

1. Be sure that the cart tires are properly inﬂated as indicated in the Tire Inﬂation Chart in the “Appendix” section on page 86.

2. Be sure that all hoses are connected and clear of foreign material. Make sure openers are not plugged.

3. Never back up with the openers in the ground. Do not turn sharply with openers in the ground, doing so will cause openers to plug.

4. Set the seed rate as described in the Setting the Drill Seeding Rate portion of the “Adjustments” section on page 46.

5. Turn on the fan hydraulic motor. Be sure the fan rotates correctly.

NOTE: Fan motor circuit is equipped with a check valve to allow the fan to wind down freely when shut off. The bottom of the fan rotor should rotate towards rear of the cart.

6. Check all bin seals to make sure no air is leaking. Adjust the latch or replace the seals to prevent leakage.

NOTE: It only takes a very small air leak to cause a large variation in the seeding rate.

7. Make sure that nobody is in the way of the drill before

moving. Do not allow anybody to ride on the drill.

8. Set the tractor engine idle to an approximate ﬁeld speed. Adjust thetractor ﬂow control valve until the fan pressure gauge reaches approximately 21” of water (12 ounces per square inch).

Heavy seeding rates may require a higher setting. Light rates or very fragile seeds may require a lower setting for best distribution or if excessive crackage is evident.

NOTE: Always engage the fan motor with the tractor at a low idle speed. Do not reverse hydraulic ﬂow with the fan running.

9. Turn on the electric clutch switch in the cab. With the fan running drive forward and lower the implement to begin seeding.

NOTE: The electric clutch circuit contains 2 switches besides the in-cab control. One switch requires that the fan be running at a suitable speed before seed is metered to prevent the hose from plugging. The other switch is on the implement and only turns on the clutch when the implement is lowered below the adjusted height. See Electric Clutch Height Switch in the “Adjustments” section, on page 63, for more information. If you wish to run seed through the system while the drill is stationary you must use the hand crank as described in Setting Seeding Depth and Leveling Front-to-Rear in the “Adjustments” section on page 60.

10. Do not shut off the fan motor while seed is being metered. Doing so will cause the distribution hose to plug. Do not rely on the tractor detent to hold the lever on. Use a rapidly removable strap or hook to hold the lever in place.

11. With a properly adjusted implement height switch it is not necessary to turn the electric clutch switch on and off manually while turning. The clutch switch should be turned off while transporting.

12. Be aware of a slight 5‘-10’ delay needed for the seed to reach the openers when starting. If you stop in the middle of the ﬁeld lift the drill and back up 10‘ then start from there.

13. Always operate farm machinery with safety in mind.

Implement Lifting System

The implement lifting system is equipped with rephasing type hydraulic cylinders in a master-slave conﬁguration. They must be bled free of air using the procedures listed in

Bleeding the Hydraulic Lifting System in the “Implement Assembly and Setup” section on page 24 for proper op-

eration. The cylinders may,after a period of time, get out of phase. This will cause one section of the implement to run higher or lower than other sections because the cylinders lifting it are extended more or less than the others. To

rephase the cylinders raise the implement completely up and hold the lever on for several seconds until all cylinders are fully extended. This should be done every time the implement is raised out of the ground. Once all the cylinders are fully extended the hydraulic control should be momentarily reversed to allow the cylinders to retract about 1/2”. This will help to maintain a level implement.

The implement uses a stroke control valve to control the lift system hydraulics when lowered. This control is adjustable and works with the press wheel adjustments to control the seed depth, see Setting Seeding Depth and Leveling Front-to-Rear in the “Adjustments” section on page 60.

The lift system has transport lock channels for the inner cylinders. These channels must be used every time the drill is folded or in transport.

Folding the Drill

DANGER!

Overhead crushing hazard - to prevent serious injury or death:

•Always use transport locks when implement is folded.

•Fold implement only if fold cylinders and hoses are bled free

of air and fully charged with hydraulic oil.

•Stay away from frame sections when they are being raised/

lowered or are in the raised position.

•Stay off of walkboard while folding.

•Keep others away.

DANGER!

Electrocution hazard to prevent serious injury or death from electrocution:

•Keep clear of overhead power lines when transporting, fold-

ing, unfolding, or operating all air drill components.

•Stay away from overhead power lines when positioning auger.

Machine is not grounded. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.

1. Folding is to be done on level ground only. Be aware of the clearance required to fold the drill. Do not fold drill where it may come in contact with obstructions or near overhead lines. Keep all persons clear of this area.

2. Raise the implement fully.

3. Install the lift cylinder transport lock channels.

NOTE: Never attempt to fold the drill without ﬁrst raising it and installing the gauge wheel lock channels or serious equipment damage will occur.

4. Remove folding lock pins and store until folded.

5. Set tractor at low idle speed.

6. Engage the folding system hydraulics and slowly fold

the implement. On 45’ drills the outer wing sections will fold before the inner wing sections.

Section 3 Operating Instructions

4. Slowly unfold the implement. On the 45’ drills one inner wing section will unfold about 45˚ and stop. The outer wing section will then fold out straight. the inner section will then fold out the rest of the way. When one side has unfolded release and momentarily reverse the lever. This will set a spool in the sequencing valve so that the other wing will unfold when the lever is again moved to unfold.

5. When the sections are unfolded, hold the lever until the cylinders extend fully or else the wing ﬂexibility will be restricted.

Opener Operation

1. The ﬂoating hoe openers (shear bolt and spring reset) both have an ability to “give” when they encounter obstructions. The spring reset hoe will trip when a large obstacle is encountered. If the opener does not fully return to position lift the drill out of the ground and allow the spring to pull opener back down.

For shear bolt openers you must replacebroken shear bolts to reset openers. Use only 5/16” x 3” grade 5 bolts only (Great Plains part number 802-131C).

2. Never back up with openers in the ground. Do not turn sharply with openers in the ground. Doing so will plug openers and may result in the machine damage.

3. Check periodically for plugged openers and hoses. Leave the fan running and manually crank the calibration handle, see Setting Seeding Depth and Leveling Front-to-Rear in the “Adjustments” section on Page

60. Look below each opener for seed. Do not crawl among openers unless the gauge wheel locks are in place and tractor is shut off with the key removed.

Setting the Drill Seeding Rate

NOTE: Seeding Rate Charts on the drill and in this manual are derived from cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight. The rates are based on

16.5 x 16.1 10-ply tubeless tires. Many factors will affect seeding rate including foreign material, seed treatment, seed size, and test weight. Minor adjustments will likely be needed to compensate for these factors.

CAUTION!

Obey manufacturer/grower’s reccomendations for safety equipment when using treated seeds.

Three settings control the seed rate, they are:

• Metering device driver/driven gear set orientation

• Gearbox settings

• Speed change sprocket orientation

When setting the seed rate make sure that all three settings are properly made.

Tools required:

• Two 1 1/8” wrenches

1. Check the seed rate charts, starting onpage 49, or the seed rate chart located on the bin, for desired settings. Not all ratios are on the chart on the bin. Consult this manual for all possible settings.

2. Set driver/driven gears as indicated under the “Gears” column in the seed rate chart. The driver gear in on the front upper shaft. The driven gear is on the rear lower shaft. Remove the lynch pins and adjust gear position as needed, then replace the pins, refer to Figure 4-1.

3. Set the gearbox levers to the required position listed under the Gearbox Levers column in the Seed Rate Chart.

IMPORTANT: Always disengage the gearbox clutch handle before attempting to shift gears. Failure to do so will result in damage to the gearbox.

NOTE: The speed change sprocket “inner” is connected to the chain from the clutch shaft at the rear of the chart. The speed change sprocket “outer” is connected to the chain to the gearbox.

If the speed change sprocket must be changed perform the following steps:

Refer to Figure 4-6:

a. Remove the nut (#1) and washers (#2) from the

bolt holding the sprocket (#5), then remove the bolt (#3). Note the arrangement of the washers.

b. Take the sprocket out of the chains and reverse

their position. c. Replace the chains onto the correct sprocket. d. Position the sprocket at the other end of the slot in

the bracket and replace the bolt. Replace the

washers and nut in the same position as they

were before removal. e. Adjust the chain tension if needed, do not over-

tighten. Use the position of the speed change to

adjust the gearbox chain, then adjust the clutch

chain using idlers.

teeth and prevent gear damage. Do not force the clutch handle into engagement. Make sure that dentent (#1) on the clutch cam surface is engaged with the roll pin before leaving the gearbox, refer to Figure 4-5.

NOTE: Make sure there is enough material in the bin to ﬁll meter and keep it full during the calibration.

5. Open the rear access door on the meter. Do not open the front door!, refer to Figure 4-7. Turn the calibration hand crank a few turns to be sure the meter stars are full of material.

7. Weigh accurately and record an empty container large enough to catch seed coming out of the meter. Place this container under the rear door of the meter.

8. Turn the calibration handle clockwise, refer to Figure 4-9, for one acre.

NOTE: Turn the handle in a clockwise direction so that the top of the shaft moves toward the front of the drill. Turning the handle counter-clockwise will also meter seed, but at a rate far below what will be applied in the ﬁeld with the meter running in the proper direction.

9. Wipe all material off the top of the meter seal ﬂange and capture in the container.

10. Weigh accurately the container with the seed. Subtract the weight of the empty container to get an actual seeding rate. Re-adjust to a new setting if this one is not acceptable and repeat steps 1 through 10 listed above.

11. When the seeding rate is acceptable close the meter door being careful to make sure the seal area is clear of all foreign material. Remove the calibration handle and store it in a safe place when not performing rate setting.

Section 4 Adjustments

Setting the Seeding Depth and Leveling Front-to-Rear

NOTE: In order to provide equal seeding depth for all openers, the drill must be level from front-to-rear and from side-to-side. Side-to-side leveling should be done when the drill is assembled, Side-to-Side

Frame Leveling under the “Implement Assembly and Setup” section on page 28, and should not re-

quire re-adjustment. Make sure that the lift cylinders are in phase as instructed in the Implement Lifting System under the “Operating Instructions” section on page 41. Make sure the fold cylinders are fully extended.

IMPORTANT: When setting the depth and leveling frontto-rear remember that the gauge wheels set the depth for the front of the drill and the press wheels are then used to level the drill from front-to-rear.

1. A depth control stop clamp and plunger valve are installed on one of the cylinders directly behind the cart frame, refer to Figure 4-11. Loosen the bolt and slide it all the way down.

Section 6 Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

General

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any farm equipment. With careful and systematic inspection and lubrication you can avoid many costly repairs and downtime.

Always turn off tractor and remove the key before making any adjustments or performing maintenance.

Securely block raised equipment before working under or around it. Use transport locks on the gauge wheels and wings.

Read and obey all safety labels on the drill when working near it.

1. After initially running the drill for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight. Do not over tighten the bolts holding the distribution tower assembly together.

2. Lubricate the drill as noted in the Lubrication portion of this section.

3. Always use equivalent fasteners to replace any damaged or missing bolts. Use only grade 5 bolts in shear bolt openers to replace sheared bolts. (Three marks on the head.)

4. Adjust the idlers to take up excess chain slack. Do not overtighten.

5. Always maintain correct pressure in the tires.

6. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels at once. New labels can be obtained from your Great Plains dealer.

7. Any ﬁttings which will nottake grease must be cleaned or replaced so that lubrication can be performed.

8. Check and repair all air leakage or damage of the Bin Lid and Meter seals.

Storage

WARNING!

wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury. Foreign ﬂuids in the tissue must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.

Store the drill in an area where children do not play.

1. If you store the drill in the unfolded position, unpin fold cylinder rod ends and fully retract cylinders to prevent rust.

2. Release the latch on the bin ﬁll lid to release pressure on seal.

3. Empty the bincompletely.Turn the meter severalturns to be sure it is empty. Blow out the meter with air to remove all material.

4. Raise the auger to ﬁlling position then run the motor until auger is completely empty. Return to the storage position.

5. The auger hopper should be turned down to prevent rain or debris from building up in it

6. Wash and clean the bin thoroughly inside and out to prevent corrosion.

7. Open the meter lid doors partially but not enough to let animals get into meter. Wire doors in place if needed. Do not store the drill with the seal compressed.

8. If the cart is disconnected from the drill for storage plug all 2 1/2” openings to prevent birds from nesting in them.

9. Before using the drill check bin bottoms and 2 1/2” outlets for foreign material. Hand crank drive train to make sure it is free.

10. Lubricate the drill at all points listed in this section.

11. Remove the drive chains and store them in oil.

12. Check all bolts, pins, ﬁttings, and hoses. Tighten, repair or replace parts as needed.

13. Check all moving parts and earth contact parts for wear or damage. Make notes of any parts needing repair before the next season.

14. Use touch up paint to cover scratches, chips, and worn areas to prevent rust.

15. Store the drill inside if possible to obtain a longer drill life.

168-231A System Monitor

◗ General Information

The Vansco Electronic Monitor is designed for use with Great Plains Air Drills.

This monitor is packaged in a black anodized aluminum housing with a mounting bracket. Cables exit from the rear of the unit. The front panel contains a ﬁve digit, seven segment liquid crystal display, a seven position rotary function select switch, and three push buttons; ACK/MODE, UP, and DOWN.

The system is capable of monitoring the following:

• The RPM speed of the fan shaft

• Implement ground speed

• The RPM speed of two meter shafts

• The status of two bin level sensors. Each bin level sen-

sor is associated with one of the meter shafts

• Blockage in up to 120 runs using optional modules and

sensors

• Field and accumulated area that has been worked

Details of operation are provided under the Operating Instructions in this section on page 79.

A continuous audio alarm will sound upon high fan RPM, low fan RPM, low meter shaft speed, seed run blockage, or low bin level. While this alarm is sounding the display will indicate what fault conditions is present. Pressing the ACK/MODE button briefly will silence the alarm and the display will revert to its normal display. Every ten seconds the display will show all fault conditions that are present. When the fault condition is removed, the alarm message will be removed also.

The operator has the ability to set certain parameters of the monitor’s operation. User variable parameters are:

• Low fan alarm point

• High fan alarm point

• Pulses per revolution of fan

• Pulses per mile

• Pulses per revolution of any shaft

• The width of the Implement

• English or metric units

• The number and type of

blockage sensors connected to the unit

The variable parameters, as well as accumulated area are stored in nonvolatile memory. This means that the information will be retained even when power is disconnected.

Assembly and Setup

◗ Installing the Monitor Control Box on Tractor

The control box must be installed where it will not be exposed to high levels of dust or precipitation.

The mounting bracket can be removed to ease installation.

Attach the black lead to the battery ground and the white lead to +12 VDC, refer to Figure 7-1. Continuous power is not required to save monitor settings and the power source can be turned off when the monitor is not being used. The unit also has an ON/OFF switch at the rear of the control box. Route the12 pin connector lead to the rear of the tractor so that it can be connected to the cart harness. Coil up and secure any excess but be sure to leave enough slack for turning and uneven terrain.

When all wiring is in place and connected secure the wires to the drill with cable ties. Be sure that all wires are safe from moving parts and away from ﬁeld vegetation. Be sure all connections are tight.

When installation is complete refer to the following Setting User Variable Parameters. All operating parameters must be set before the unit is ready to use.

◗ Setting User Variable Parameters

To view or change any of the user variable parameters, the Rotary Function Select switch must be set to the desired function. The rotary switch is used to select one of the following seven functions for display.

Switch Position Function

Fan Fan RPM Speed Ground Speed Front Shaft Front Meter Shaft RPM Rear Shaft Rear Meter Shaft RPM Flow Blockage Module Status Area / Rate Field Area, Accumulated Area,

or Application Rate Function

Width Implement Width, Units Select

After the Rotary Function Select switch is in position the ACK/MODE button is pressed and held for ﬁve seconds. While the button is being held, the monitor will give short beeps, and after the ﬁve seconds, the monitor will give a longer beep. At this time the display will show the parameter, and allow it to be modiﬁed using the UP or DOWN buttons. Upon entering the parameter changing mode, a message will be displayed brieﬂy indicating which parameter is being accessed. This message will be displayed periodically throughout the parameter changing mode as a reminder. Pressing the UP or DOWNbuttons will change the parameter, and pressing the ACK/MODE button again for ﬁve seconds will store the parameter in nonvolatile memory. The display will then revert to showing the monitored function. If the rotary switch position is changed before storing the parameters, the changes won’t be saved.

Setting the Fan Parameters:

When the rotary switch is in the FAN position, pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will cause the display to show “PLSE” brieﬂy, and then the number of pulses that are generated per revolution of the fan. This value is variable from 0 through 3 using the UP or DOWN buttons. A setting of zero means that the fan RPM meter is off and no fan alarm will sound. (“OFF” will be displayed when in the FAN position.) When the ACK/MODE button is pressed again, the monitor will display “FAnL” brieﬂy, and then show the fan’s low speed alarm point. Using the UP or DOWN buttons, the alarm point may now be changed. When the ACK/MODE button is pressed again, the display will show “FAnH” brieﬂy, and then show the fan’s high speed alarm point. Using the UP of DOWN buttons, the alarm point may now be changed. Repeatedly pressing the ACK/MODE button will switch between the pulses per revolution setting and the alarm points. Pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will cause the alarm point and the pulses per revolution to be entered into memory, and the fan RPM to be displayed.

Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air

Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Speciﬁcations and Ca- pacities” section on page 83 for speciﬁc values.

Setting Pulses Per Mile:

When the rotary switch is in the SPEED position, pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will cause the display to show “PLSE” brieﬂy, and then the number of ground speed pulses required to go one mile (pulses per mile is also used if in metric units). This value may be changed using the UP of DOWN buttons.

Alternatively, the pulse rate may be measured. Pressing UP and DOWN at the same time for ﬁve seconds will enter the monitor into pulse count mode. The display will show “Cnt” brieﬂy, and then “0000”. The implement should then be driven over a distance of one mile with the clutch engaged. While driving, the display will start to count upward (this is the number of ground speed pulses received so far). At the end of one mile, the required pulses will be shown on the display. Pressing ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will enter the pulse value (regardless of which setting method was used) into nonvolatile memory.

If the operator tries to save a value below the lower limit or above the upper limit, the limit value will be saved.

Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air

Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Speciﬁcations and Ca- pacities” section on page 83 for speciﬁc values.

Setting the Status of Shafts/Bins:

When the rotary switch is in the FRONT SHAFT or REAR SHAFT position, pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will cause the display to show “PLSE” brieﬂy, then display either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. The 0 indicates that the selected shaft/bin combination has been disabled, while number 1 through 4 indicate the number of pulses generated per revolution of the shaft. The operator may change the setting using the UP or DOWN buttons. Pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will enter the status in

nonvolatile memory, and display either the shaft speed or “OFF”, depending on how the status was set. Setting the status to 0 (OFF) will disable shaft and bin level monitoring for the corresponding shaft and bin level sensor (i.e., no alarms will be generated).

Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air

Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Speciﬁcations and Ca- pacities” section on page 83 for speciﬁc values.

Setting Blockage Module Complement &Type Value:

When the rotary switch is set to FLOW, pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will cause the display to show “tYyy”, where yy indicates the type value. This number should be set to zero using the DOWN button. Repeated short presses of the ACK/MODE button will switch between blockage module complement and type setting. Pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will enter these values into non-volatile memory, and the monitor will return to showing ﬂow information.

If the ﬂow monitoring function is not used, the number of modules should be set to 0 to prevent alarms from occurring. This is the standard monitor setting.

Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air

Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Speciﬁcations and Ca- pacities” section on page 83 for speciﬁc values.

Selecting English/Metric Units and Setting the Implement Width:

When the rotary switch is in the WIDTH position, pressing the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the display to show “Lnth” briefly, then the implement width (sorry, but we cannot show “width” on the display). Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons will cause the width to increase or decrease. Pressing the ACK/MODE button briefly will show “unit” then either “Eng” indicating English Units or “tric” indicating Metric Units). Pressing the UP button will select English Units, while the DOWN button will select Metric Units. These units will apply to ground speed, area accumulation, application, rate calculation, and implement width. Pressing the ACK/MODE button briefly will return you to the width setting mode, while pressing the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will store the selection in nonvolatile memory, and return the display to showing implement width.

Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air

Operating Instructions

◗ Alarm Systems

Alarms:

Alarms are displayed when the limits described in the Vansco Electronic Monitor Technical Speciﬁcations portion of the “Speciﬁcations” section, on page 83, are exceeded. When a new alarm condition arises the monitor will beep continuously and the display will indicate the fault conditions (this will happen regardless of the position of the rotary switch).

To acknowledge the alarm the ACK/MODE button must be pressed. This will silence the audible alarm, and return the display to showing the monitored function. The display will now show all fault conditions every ten seconds until the faults are corrected. If the unit is in a parameter setting mode, new alarms will have to be acknowledged, but after being acknowledged, the fault conditions will not be displayed every ten seconds.

Multiple Alarms:

If more than one alarm condition occurs at the same time, pushing the ACK/MODE button will acknowledge each alarm in order of priority. The display will not return to displaying the monitored function until all alarms are acknowledged.

The order of alarm priority is:

1. High Fan RPM 5. Low Fan RPM

2. Rear Shaft RPM 6. Rear Bin Low

3. Front Shaft RPM 7. Front Bin Low

4. Grain Flow Blockage

Ground Drive Alarm:

Whenever the monitor detects the ground speed going through 2.0 MPH, a short double beep will be generated. This will occur if the ground speed is increasing or decreasing. There is no visual display associated with this feature. It is only intended to inform the operator that the clutch is operating properly.

Flow Alarms:

If the error message “Er X” is displayed on the monitor (where X is a number from 1 through 10), and no blockage modules are connected, the monitor must be programmed to disable the ﬂow monitoring function. This is done by setting the Blockage Module complement equal to zero as described under Setting User Variable Parameters on page 78.

◗ Area & Application Rate Modes

Area Rate Modes:

When the rotary switch is set to AREA, the display will show either “Fxxx.x” or “Axxx” indicating either Field or Accumulated areas respectively. (When in metric mode the “F” or the “A” will ﬂash to indicate that metric units are being used.) Pressing the ACK/MODE key brieﬂy will switch between the two areas. When showing Field area, pressing UP and DOWN at the same time for ﬁve seconds will clear the Field area. When showing Accumulated area, pressing the UP and DOWN buttons for ﬁve seconds will clear both Field and Accumulated areas.

Application Rate Operation:

The application rate mode is used to accurately calculate the application rate. This is done by operating the implement over an accurately known area and collecting all the material that would be applied. By dividing the weight of the material by the area, the application rate is obtained.

To properly collect a sample, with the fan off, cover plate under each bin meter. Arrange a way to catch the seed

and/or fertilizer falling out of the bin meter (sack, bucket, etc.). Keep the fan off, then pull forward an accurately known distance.

When the rotary switch is set to AREA, pressing the ACK/MODE button for ﬁve seconds will enable the application rate mode. The display will show “0r00” which is a measure of the application area precise to 1/100 of an acre. (If metric units have been selected, the “r” will flash

to indicate hectares.)

Driving the implement will cause the application area to be incremented, during which time the applied material should be collected. When a large enough material sample has been collected, the implement should be stopped the sample weighed. The weight is entered into the monitor and the rate is calculated.

Fan RPM

Shaft RPM

Bin Level Indication

Fan RPM is displayed when the selector switch is set to FAN .

The RPM range is 0-9990 RPM with a resolution of 10 RPM.

The fan RPM is continuously monitored for alarm purposes.

The alarm trips when the fan speed falls below the user variable low alarm set point or goes above the user variable high alarm set point

The factory programmed low alarm point is 3000 RPM. The user adjustable range is between 0 and the high set point. Low alarm point should be set at 2000 RPM.

The factory programmed high alarm point is 6500 RPM. The user adjustable range is between 0 and 9900 RPM. Reset the high alarm point at 5000 RPM.

The factory programmed pulses per revolution is 1. Reset pluses per revolution to 3.

Response time to an alarm condition is 1 second maximum.

Two shaft speeds, Front and Rear are monitored. Shaft speeds are displayed when the rotary switch is set to the appropriate position.

The operator may disable unwanted shaft inputs.

The input signal is from a reed switch.

All shaft speeds are continuously monitored for alarm purposes.

An alarm will be generated whenever there is more than 15 seconds between reed switch hits.

Shaft alarm generation will be delayed by 30 seconds if ground speed is below 2 MPH. This delay is intended to reduce nuisance alarms when turning on headlands.

The monitors are factory programmed with the bins and shafts disabled.

Set the front shaft for 2 pluses per revolution.

Two bin levels are monitored; Front and Rear

The bins are pressurized to 20" - 30" H20

The input signal is a Vansco 77000 series optical Type Full Bin Detector

To minimize nuisance alarms, there is a 15 second delay before the bin alarm is displayed

When a shaft input is disabled, the corresponding bin level input is also disabled.

The monitors are factory programmed with bins and shafts disabled.

Ground Speed

Area Meter

Implement Width

Grain Flow Monitor Option

Ground speed in either MPH or KPH is displayed when the selector switch is set to SPEED. (KPH is obtained by selecting metric units when in width mode.)

Ground speed calibration may be adjusted by changing the pulses per mile setting.

Normal speed is 2.5 MPH to 25 MPH. The display is to one decimal place.

When displaying KPH, the decimal point will ﬂash.

The speed is sensed for a reed switch on the clutch drive shaft.

A short double beep is given when the monitor detects the loss or resumption of the ground speed

signal. Loss of ground speed signal is deﬁned as 2 MPH.

Pulses per mile are variable from 500 to 9999.

The monitors are factory programmed with pulses per miles set to 720. NOTE: When the pulse rate is set to low values, the accuracy of the area calculations and ground speed will be degraded, and the rate at which the area and speed is updated will be decreased.

Pulses per mile for a 45’ unit is 3467.

Pulses per mile for a 34’ unit is 2646.

Accumulated or Field areas are displayed when the selector switch is set to AREA. The value displayed is the area accumulated since the last resetting. In either acres of hectares. (Hectares units are obtained by selecting metric units when in width mode.

Field Area is displayed on 0.1 acre or 0.1 hectare increments.

Accumulated Area is displayed to the nearest acre or hectare.

When displaying hectares, the decimal point will ﬂash.

The field and accumulated area is stored in nonvolatile memory to a maximum of 999.9 and 9999 acres respectively. The display then rolls over and begins again from 000.000 (0000). When displaying area in hectares, the display will roll over at 404.7 (4047) HA, which is the metric conversion of 999.9 (9999) acres.

The operator should note that the area accumulation accuracy depends on a number of variables such as overlap, turns on the head lands, and unclutching the ground drive. The monitor assumes there is no overlap when making calculation. If the operator experiences area readings that are persistently high, it is suggested that a false implement width be entered. This width would have to be determined by experience, trial, or calculation.

Implement width is displayed when the selector switch is set to WIDTH.

The factory default setting 40 feet. The width may be adjusted with the UP and DOWN buttons. The range is 0 to 100 feet in 0.1 foot steps. (When in metric mode the default setting is 12.1 meters, and the range is 0 to 30.4 meters in 0.1 meter steps.)

Settings are stored in nonvolatile memory.

Reset width to 45’ (13.7 meters) or 34’ (10.4 meters) depending on unit size.

The unit monitors up to 120 flow sensors using External Blockage Modules. The modules signal the monitor for loss of flow in any run. Blockage is indicated by module number and run number flashing on the display.
