Important Safety Information

PTO-Specific Hazards
Even if you are experienced in PTO operations, review the “Using PTO Safely” topic on page 2. Topics in this manual dealing with PTO hazards include this PTO alert symbol and the standard alert symbol below. PTO hazards include:
Entanglement:
resulting in abrasions, lacerations, crushing, dismemberment or death. Loose clothing, cuffs, frays, laces, coattails, drawstrings, hair or scarves are taken up by a PTO faster than you can react, and with overpowering torque.
Flailing machinery:
resulting from an unsecured torque arm, resulting in serious injury or death.
High pressure fluid sprays:
due to hydraulic hose failure, resulting from PTO shaft over-speed or damaged hoses.

Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution 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.

Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness.
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, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
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.

Using PTO Safely

The pump relies on PTO power to operate, and requires an adjustment at the planter while the PTO is running. The PTO pump is designed to work on a stub shaft PTO, leaving no exposed shaft in use.
Use only a tractor with an approved PTO master shield.
Use all guards provide for the tractor PTO. Have minimal
or NO shaft exposed after connecting the PTO pump.
Use only a rear-facing PTO. The provided hoses and torque
arms are not designed for use with a tractor-front or tractor-side PTO.
Use only a 1000 rpm PTO, or an adjustable PTO set to
1000 rpm maximum. Running at a higher speed could result in equipment failure, and serious injury.
Use only a PTO with the correct shaft and matching Great
Plains coupler: 13⁄4inch (44.5 mm) 20-spline and 826-777C coupler 13⁄8inch (35 mm) 21-spline and 826-778C coupler
Do not use any other adaptor, coupler, driveline, extender
or external gearbox.
Use only a “live” or “independent” PTO. If the PTO only
operates when the tractor is in motion, there is no safe way to set the fan speed.
Ensure that all involved personnel are trained on PTO
operations and hazards. Always know where all team members are before, during and after PTO operations.
Allow only essential personnel near the PTO during setup,
adjustment, operation and disconnection.
Prior to PTO setup, remove any stray wire, rope or twine
found nearby. Should a loose end encounter the PTO stub, it is taken up at over 14 feet per second, and could wrap around someone and pull them in.
Wear only snug-fitting clothes, with no scarves, loose
strings, frays, cords or ties, when working near a PTO. Tie long hair back or gather it up under a well-secured hat.
Shut the tractor off for PTO connections or disconnections.
Do not trust your life to clutches and throw-outs.
A PTO shaft is a hazard at any speed, even when well below
rated shaft rpm, coasting to a stop, or idling.
Never step on or over the master shield or installed PTO
pump.
Be extra vigilant if any tractor PTO controls are external,
and in proximity to the PTO.
Elevate pump hose slack so that ground contact is not
possible during transport or field operations.
Keep all PTO safety decals clean and legible. Replace any
that are faded or damaged.

Prepare for Emergencies

Be prepared if a fire starts
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals

Read and understand “Safety Decals” in the Operator
manual.
Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.

Protect Hearing

The PTO system requires adjustment of a flow control valve with one or two implement fans running. The valve is locate near the fans, and the fans are loud.
Wear hearing protection when working near an operating
hydraulic fan.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Observe normal precautions for hitch hydraulic connections and disconnections. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

Practice Safe Maintenance

Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper
tools and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional information.
Work in a clean, dry area.
Lower the planter, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove key before performing maintenance.
Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition
and installed properly.
Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
Remove all tools and unused parts from planter before
operation.

Safety At All Times

Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this
manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on the safety decals.
Be familiar with all implement functions.
Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
Do not leave implement unattended with tractor engine
running.
Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with
moving parts.

Safety Decals

Safety Decals

Kit components are shipped with all safety decals in place. They are intended to help you safely operate your implement.

Hitching with PTO

The pump may be installed before or after hitching the planter to the tractor. If the planter has a 3-point hitch, installing the pump first may be easier.
Refer to Figure 6
1. Completely remove the socket head cap screws from the coupler .
Note: If the coupler is not mounted, or you need to
change to a different coupler, see page 9.
2. If space is constrained inside the tractor PTO shield, rotate the coupler to an orientation that eases later inserting and tightening of the cap screws.

Prepare Tractor

3. Back the tractor into close proximity to the planter (within pump hose reach of the PTO shaft).
4. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.
5. Make any necessary adjustment to the tractor drawbar . This might include: inverting an offset drawbar, and/or relocating a clevis assembly (not shown).
6. Clear the PTO shaft of any pins or wires that might prevent the pump from fully seating on the shaft.

Mount and Pump

7. With hydraulics hoses to rear, and torque arm to right of drawbar, slide the pump assembly fully onto the PTO shaft .
8. Insert one socket head cap screw into the larger counter-sunk clamping holes in the aft end of the coupler. The screw head fully seats, below the surface of the coupler, in these holes.
See NOTICE at right.
9. Adjust the position of the coupler on the shaft until the screw threads are in the PTO shaft groove . Thread screw in until finger tight.
10. Insert the other socket head cap screw in the other side of the coupler. Thread it until finger tight.
11. Pull and twist the pump assembly to verify that the socket head cap screws prevent sliding along the PTO shaft.
12. Tighten both cap screws to1⁄2-13 Grade 8 torque specification (105 foot-pounds, 145 N-m).
13. Complete normal planter hitching.

Entanglement and Flailing Equipment Hazards: Do not use a driveline, shaft extension, adaptor or external gearbox with the PTO pump. Use the pump, with a Great Plains coupler, only on a native 1000 rpm 20- or 21-spline stub shaft. Extra fittings create entanglement hazards. Fittings also destabilize the shaft, and may make it impossible to adequately secure the pump against torque and shaft slip.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Use the clamping holes . Do not use the drive-out holes (the smaller forward holes that are threaded to the surface). Drive-out holes are used only during dismount. The screws only partially thread into these holes. These holes do not adequately secure the pump to the shaft. The pump is likely to fall off if these holes are used for pump mounting.

Check Hydraulics

Check Oil Level

Refer to Figure 7
1. Verify that the planter is level front to back and side to side.
2. Inspect the sight gauge on the pump system reservoir. The oil level must be aligned with the center border of the OIL FILL LINE decal (858-029C).

Hot Surface and Hot Fluid Hazards:
Assess the reservoir temperature before adjusting oil level. Draining excess hot oil could result in a severe burn. If the PTO has been operated recently, the oil temperature could be as high as 180°F (82°C).
3. Add or drain oil as needed to obtain the correct amount. Some adjustment is normally required with a new system, or after a filter change.
Note: The fill level dimension from reservoir bottom is:
a
10.73 inches (27.3 cm) If the 858-029C decal requires replacement, adjust the top edge of the center border line to this height.

Inspect Hoses and Fittings

4. Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight and dry. Inspect all hoses for damage, wear and fatigue. Because the PTO pump system is closed, any visible fluid may be an indication of a leak.

Starting the Pump

While the planter is stationary, it may be necessary to briefly operate the pump for any of several reasons:
• verify system installation or PTO operation
• verify oil level with system fully charged
• set initial meter pressurization
Refer to Figure 8
1. If the system is adjusted, leave the flow control valve as-is.
If the system is not yet adjusted, close the flow control valve to prevent fan motion. Turn the lock
1 2
disc counter-clockwise to release the knob . Turn the knob fully clockwise to close the valve.
2. Clear the hitch area of non-essential persons. Check essential personnel for long hair, scarves, cords, frays, loose flaps and anything else that might get entangled. Clear the area of dangling or loose wires, straps, cord and other lines that might become entangled and pull someone in.
Entanglement and Crushing Hazard:
Use extreme caution in the hitch area when the PTO is operating.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Watch for signs of fluid leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
3. It is not necessary to run the PTO at the full 1000 rpm. You may run it any speed that provides sufficient seed flow and meter pressurization (page 13).

About the Flow Control Valve

The flow control valve adjusts the percent of PTO pump output that is supplied to the planter hydraulic motors. The total pump flow, in gpm or liters/min, is also directly proportional to PTO shaft rpm.
Adjustment may require two persons. Pump oil flow is ideally adjusted with all hydraulic motors active under simulated field workload, relying on seed monitor rpm readout, and/or Magnehelic® pressure gauges.
2
34848
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not START the pump and fan suddenly at high PTO speed. Engage the PTO clutch slowly (if possible) and/or at low engine rpm, and gradually increase PTO rpm. The hydraulic fan can be damaged by sudden acceleration.
Hearing Damage Hazard:
Wear ear protection when adjusting the flow control valve. The valve is located near the fan(s). The fan(s) must be running during adjustment. The fan(s) are loud.

PTO Unhitching

The pump may be dismounted before or after unhitching the planter and tractor. With a 3-point planter or 3-point hitch, dismounting the pump last may be easier, which is the order shown on this page. For safety, have the tractor completely shut down during PTO dismounting.
1. At the tractor, shut down the PTO.
Note: The PTO may be shut down suddenly or gradually.
The fan circuit includes a bypass to recirculate excess pressure during deceleration. The fan is only sensitive to sudden acceleration.
2. Do not approach the hitch area until the PTO shaft, and the fan, have slowed to a complete stop.
3. Mechanically unhitch the planter per the Operator manual. Leave the PTO pump mounted at this time.
4. Pull the tractor forward enough to allow access to the PTO pump. Put the tractor in Park or Neutral. Engage the parking brake. Shut the tractor down. Remove the key.
5. Loosen and remove the socket head cap screws at the PTO coupler .
6. Slide the PTO pump off the PTO shaft.
2
Entanglement Hazard:
Remain clear of a rotating PTO shaft. Even when coasting to a stop, a PTO shaft can have enough residual torque to inflict serious or fatal injury.
Hot Surface Hazard:
Remain clear of the pump reservoir during unhitching. The oil may be hot enough to inflict a painful burn.

If, after removing the cap screws, the coupler is still grasping the PTO shaft too tightly to remove, use the drive-out holes to pry the clamping halves apart. Insert the cap screws in the forward drive-out holes. Tighten them alternately until the coupler is free.
7. Store the pump on the planter. Insert the torque
5 5
arm into the storage mount .
The storage mount is located on the front of a 3-point hitch and on the right side of a pull-type tongue at the hitch bolts.

Oil and Filter Change

Oil Fill

Refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18
A dry or fully drained system may require as much as 20 gallons (76 liters) of oil to charge the cooler, pump, motor(s), hoses, filter and valve, and leave 13.5 gallons (51 liters) in the reservoir.
Before adding oil, check that the drain plug is secure,
1
and that there are no signs of leaks in hoses or at any system fittings.
Oil Specification
10W-30 good quality mineral base hydraulic fluid, viscosity 70 to 250 SUS at 210°F (100°C)
Remove the filler cap . Add oil until the oil level in the reservoir, as observed on the sight gauge , reaches the
2
3
fill line on the decal (the top edge of the horizontal mid-border of the decal). The fill line is 10.73 inches (27.3 cm) above the reservoir bottom. If the 858-029C decal requires replacement, adjust the center border line to this height.
Operate the PTO system briefly, or until the reservoir level stops changing. See “PTO Operation” on page 8 for operations.
Recheck the sight gauge. As necessary, add oil to fill line.

Oil and Filter Change

At a regularly scheduled oil change, also change the filter. At initial system flush, no filter change is required.
Refer to Figure 18 and Figure 17
1. Wait for the oil to cool before changing the oil.
2. Place a container with at least a 20 gallon (76 liter) capacity under the drain plug of the reservoir.
3. Carefully remove the drain plug.
4. Allow several minutes for oil in the filter to drain into and out of the reservoir. Change filter as required. See page 23 for filter size. Seat filter per instructions on filter.
5. Thread the plug back into the reservoir. Seating torque is 27 to 43 foot-pounds (37 to 58 N-m).

Appendix A - Installation

Before You Start

Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, usually caused by failure of the installer to follow simple but necessary safety precautions. Allow no one to install the Yield-Pro® PTO pump before carefully reading this manual.
Fasteners may be loosely assembled. Remove them before mounting the component. Due to evolving manufacturing practices, sub-assemblies may already be completely pre-assembled. If so, check that fasteners are tight, and skip the unneeded assembly steps.

Tools Required

• a lift or hoist with a 100 pound \ 45 kg capacity
• basic hand tools
• 10 to 15 gallons (38 to 57 liters) of good quality 10-W30 mineral base hydraulic fluid, viscosity from 70-250 SUS range at 210°F (100°C).
• bucket for collecting oil
• hose marker, such as white electrical tape and indelible marker
• power equipment with a Type 2 or 3 PTO for flushing and charging the system
• the planter Operator and Parts manuals
• protective footwear if the planter already has coulters or row cleaners installed
• 14.9 mm (9⁄16 or 0.56 inch) drill bit, suitable pilot bit, and portable drill with 15 mm (5⁄8inch) or larger chuck.
Torque values for fasteners are shown on page 85.

Pre-Delivery and Other Options

If you are installing the Yield-Pro® PTO Pump on a newly-shipped planter, it may be more convenient to install the PTO pump system during the dealer pre-delivery setup:
• Install the PTO pump system before mounting a seed hopper or PROBOX® (or remove any seed container present). This improves working space around the fan.
Exception: on models YP1630F, YP2425F and YP4025F, install the seed structures first.
• Install the PTO pump system before installing or completing installation of markers. This eliminates an overhead sharp object hazard, and improves working space at the fan(s).
• Install the PTO pump system after installing an optional hydraulic tongue. Installing the tongue later would require removing the PTO storage mount.

Prepare Planter

2. Read and understand “Important Safety
Information” starting on page 1.
3. Position the planter on a level surface in a well
lighted location suitable for the installation, which includes room to unfold, and possibly room (and vertical clearance) to unfold markers. A clear surface beneath makes it easier to recover any dropped parts.
4. Examine the working space around fans. If space is
tight, consider two steps to improve it: a. dismount a removable seed hopper/PROBOX b. unfold markers
5. Lower the unfolded planter, or install lift locks if left
raised.
6. Chock the tires if the surface is not completely level.
7. Unhitch the planter.
