Air Drills
Used with:
• 3N-4010HDA
• CTA4000 and CT4000HD
• NTA3010 and NTA3510
General Information
Blockage monitor kits upgrade the existing DICKEY-john
Intelli-ag AirCart Controlsystem,adding the capability to
detect extreme variations in seed flow to individual rows.
These instructions explain how to install any of the following Blockage Monitor Kits:

If installation is being done on a new 3N-4010HDA, use
the instructions in the 196-444Q Pre-Delivery manual.
The instructions in this manual (168-414M) presume a
drill originally delivered and setup without blockage.
Each kit updates one drill. Kits are specific to drill models
and row spacings:
Installation Instructions 1
Figure 1
Existing Intelli-ag Console
Note: The air drill must already be equipped with a
DICKEY-john Intelli-ag Air Cart Control system,
which includes a 5in or 10in LCD console (shown
above) for the tractor cab. This system is standard
with the ADC2350 and ADC2350B air drill carts.
Air drills using ADC1150, ADC2220and ADC2250
carts, and equipped with Loup monitor systems,
cannot use these blockage kits.

Before You Start
Review these instructions, with the following objectives:
• Compatibility: make sure the correct kit has been
ordered, and the air drill has the necessary DICKEYjohn Intelli-ag Air Cart Control system.
• Inventory: make sure all parts are present.
• Comprehension: make sure the installers understand
where each part is installed, and what tools are
required for the task.

Mount and WSMBa Orientation
Refer to Figure 2
The kit includes a mounting plate and WSMB for
each tower.
The plate attaches to the tower mount , at an existing
U-bolt located just above the bend in the tower tube,
and under the existing washer and nut . The plate
orientation (left, right, front or back) is described in the
detailed steps.
The WSMB mounts to the tower side of the plate, with
mount ears flat against the plate, and connectors facing
down.

Pre-Assembly Preparation
Work Location
1. Move the drill to a location with:
• room to unfold it,
• adequate illumination, and;
• a clear surface beneath for recovery of any
dropped parts.
Prepare Drill
2. Position the drill at the work location.
3. Unfold the drill.
4. Lower the row units.
5. Set tractor hydraulic remotes to Float, to relieve
pressure in the lines.
Port Numbering
Tower Ports are numbered Clockwise from mount center
(Port 1) to the last port number, which is the same for all
towers on the same drill.
As an aid to installation, mark the port numbers after
checking Port 1. If the tower weldment has shifted position since initial delivery, Port 1 may not be exactly at the
mount.
PORT 2
Installation Instructions 3
PORT

PORT 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13 or 16
Refer to Figure 3
6. Verify Port 1. Consult the Port Assignments table
for the drill and row spacing (found in the Appendix
of this manual). The first Opener entry in the table is
Port 1. Openers are numbered from 1 at drill left.
Follow the seed hose from that opener to the tower.
This is Port 1.
7. Mark the Port numbers on the tower cap, moving
clockwise (looking down on the cap) from Port 1.

168-412A 3N4010HDA-4810 (48 row, 10in)
If installation is being done on a new 3N-4010HDA, use
the instructions in the 196-444Q Pre-Delivery manual.
The instructions in this manual (168-414M) presume a
drill originally delivered and setup without blockage.
Additional installation information is found in the
DICKEY-john IntelliAg Air Cart Control Operator’s manual.
Note: The DICKEY-john manual has only general har-
ness routing for the Great Plains air drills, and
somecable part numbers areslightly differentfrom
those in the kits.
Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5
