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 accessories covered by this manual rely on PTO power to operate, and require an adjustment at the planter while the PTO is running. The PTO pump is designed to work on a stub shaft PTO, and leaves no exposed shaft in use.

▲ Use only a tractor with an approved master shield for the

PTO.

▲ Use all guards provided 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 the correct (540 or 1000) rpm PTO, or an

adjustable PTO set to the correct rpm (maximum). Running at a higher speed could result in equipment failure, and serious injury.

▲ Use only a PTO with the correct shaft, and for 1000 rpm,

matching Great Plains coupler:

⁄8inch (35 mm) 6-spline

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 up to 14 feet per second, and could wrap around someone and pull them in.

▲ Wear only snug-ﬁtting clothes, with no scarves, loose

strings, cords, ties, and no frays, 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

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

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

▲ Read and follow decal directions.

▲ Keep all safety decals clean and legible.

▲ Replace all damaged or missing decals. Order new decals

from your Great Plains dealer. Refer to this section for proper decal placement.

▲ When ordering new parts or components, also request

corresponding safety decals.

Introduction

Description of Unit

One of 17 dealer- or ﬁeld-installed kits convert the hydraulic fan power source from tractor hydraulic remote to tractor Power Take-Off (PTO). An additional kit updates older fan motors for PTO compatibility.

Refer to Figure 1

Each Single-Section PTO Pumps kit includes:

• a ﬂow control valve assembly for setting fan rpm,

• a tethered 540 or 1000 rpm PTO pump , with torque

arm and safety chain (no gearbox is required; a coupler is required for the 1000 rpm pump),

• an oil reservoir , with sight gauge, line ﬁlter and

6.5 gallon capacity (5.5 gallons/21 liters, used),

• an oil cooler , mounted inside the fan, and;

• all interconnecting hoses (not shown). There are separate kits for rigid and rotating planters,

pull-type and 3-point planters, planters with and without fertilizer capability and ground drive vs. hydraulic drive.

Suitable Applications

A PTO kit may be needed where:

• the tractor has an Open Center hydraulic system;

• the tractor has no remote port for the fan; or,

• the tractor is Closed Center, but the remotes offer insufﬁcient oil ﬂow to reliably operate the fan.

Hitching with PTO

Hitching procedures are different for 540 rpm pumps (below) and 1000 rpm pumps (page 12).

Hitching with 540 rpm PTO

The pump may be installed before or after hitching the planter to the tractor. With a 3-point planter, installing the pump ﬁrst may be easier.

Prepare Tractor

1. Back the tractor into close proximity to the planter (within pump hose reach of the PTO shaft).

2. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.

Entanglement and Crushing Hazard:

Never perform any mechanical adjustment, PTO setup or hitching with the tractor running. Take no chances that the PTO might become active. Entanglement or ﬂailing equipment can cause serious injury or death faster than you can react.

Refer to Figure 7

3. Make any necessary adjustment to the tractor drawbar . This might include: inverting an offset drawbar, and/or relocating a clevis assembly (not shown).

Mount PTO Pump

Figure 7:

34620

Entanglement and Flailing Equipment Hazards:

Do not use a driveline, shaft extension, adaptor or external gearbox with the PTO pump. Use only a native 540 rpm 6-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.

Mount Pump

4. Clear the PTO shaft of any pins or wires that might prevent the pump from fully seating on the shaft.

5. With hydraulic hoses to rear, and torque arm to right of drawbar, slide the pump assembly fully onto the PTO shaft.

Secure Pump

Refer to Figure 8 (shown with pump off for clarity)

6. With the torque arm ﬁrmly against the drawbar: loop the chain once around the drawbar, then through the anchor point , then around the drawbar at least once more, then through the keyhole slot in the torque plate.

The drawbar loops prevent pump rotation. The anchor loop retains the pump on the PTO shaft.

Check Hydraulics

Check Oil Level

Refer to Figure 12

1. Verify that the planter is level front to back and side to side.

2. Inspect the sight gauge on the pump system reservoir tank. The oil level must be aligned with the center border of the OIL FILL LINE decal (858-003C).

Hot Surface and Hot Fluid Hazards:

Assess the tank 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 tank bottom is:

9.15 inches (23.2 cm)

If the

858-003C decal requires replacement, adjust

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 13

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, scarfs, 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.

3. It is not necessary to run the PTO at the full 540 or 1000 rpm. You may run it any lower speed that provides sufﬁcient meter pressurization (page 17).

Entanglement and Crushing Hazard:

Use extreme caution in the hitch area when the PTO is operating.

Figure 13:

Flow Control Valve

34626

Equipment Damage Risk:

Do not START the pump and fan suddenly at high PTO power. 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.

4. • Check that tractor is in Park or Neutral.

• Check parking brake set.

• Set the tractor PTO controls for

540 or 1000arpm gearing (if multi-speed) and clockwise rotation (if bidirectional).

• Start tractor engine and set throttle to idle.

• Engage the PTO.

• Bring the tractor engine and PTO up to intended

ﬁeld rpms.

5. Check for hydraulic ﬂuid leaks.

6. Verify ﬂuid level in tank (page 14).

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.

a. Operate above 540 rpm only with a 1000 rpm pump.

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 typically requires two persons. Pump oil ﬂow is ideally adjusted with all motors active under simulated ﬁeld workload, relying on Magnehelic® pressure gauge readout, and in some cases seed monitor rpm readout.

On Great Plains Yield-Pro® single section planters, the PTO pump supplies one or two hydraulic motors. The table below summarizes the motor count/use and readout resource available for the covered planters.

Setting Meter Pressurization

General Steps for all Kits

Refer to Figure 15

Meter pressurization is set as for a standard planter, using the PTO kit valve rather than a lever for a tractor

hydraulic remote. This adjustment is normally made with the seed meters full of seed.

Consult your planter Seed Rate manual for the correct seed disk, meter inlet shutter setting, and recommended initial pressure as reported by the Magnehelic

1. Check that the Inlet Butterﬂy valve handle is set

to 30°. If not, loosen the pivot bolt, reset handle, and Re-secure bolt.

2. Mount the PTO pump (page 11).

3. Shut off the tractor and remove the key.

4. Consult your planter Seed Rate manual for the intended crop, noting:

• Range and Transmission sprockets required,

• correct Air-Pro

seed disk (not shown),

• initial inlet shutter setting (not shown), and

• initial meter pressurization.

5. Install seed disks. Leave rain covers off meters.

6. Set meter inlet shutters per the Seed Rate manual.

7. Open any slide gates under hoppers.

8. Load enough seed to completely ﬁll the meter inlet tubes, and at least partially ﬁll every hopper.

9. Set out containers, under row unit seed tubes, to collect seed metered during setup.

10. 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.

Ground Drive Meter Pressure

1. Conﬁgure the meter drive system sprockets for the rate desired (see Seed Rate Manual).

2. Per your planter Operator manual, hitch the planter. Raise the planter. Install lift locks. This is to free the meter ground drive wheel.

3. • Check that tractor is in Park or Neutral.

• Check parking brake set.

• Set the tractor PTO controls for

540 or 1000 rpm gearing (if multi-speed) and clockwise rotation (if bidirectional).

• Start tractor engine and set throttle to idle.

• Engage the PTO.

• Bring the tractor engine and PTO up to intended

ﬁeld rpms.

4. At the ﬂow control valve, turn the lock disc counter-clockwise to release the knob . Slowly

turn the knob counter-clockwise to start the fan. Bring the fan speed up until the Magnehelic®gauge displays the suggested pressure for this crop.

5. Turn the meter ground drive wheel forward several turns, until all exposed cells in all seed disks contain seed.

6. Recheck the Magnehelic® gauge . The reported

pressure is likely to have increased. Adjust the ﬂow control knob to bring the pressure reading back to the recommended value. Tighten the lock disc.

7. Shut down the PTO, and as desired, the tractor.

8. Install rain covers on seed meters.

The PTO pump is now ready for ﬁeld work. Some adjustment of meter pressure and inlet shutters may be required, depending on seed and planting conditions. Use the ﬂow control valve, and not the butterﬂy valve, to make pressure adjustments.

PTO Unhitching

The pump may be dismounted before or after unhitching the planter and tractor. With a 3-point planter, 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.

Dismount 540 rpm Pump

Refer to Figure 9 on page 12

5. Pass the free end of the pump chain forward through the torque arm keyhole.

6. Unwrap the chain from the anchor point and drawbar.

7. Slide the PTO pump off the PTO shaft. Store the pump on the planter. Use the chain to secure it to any available structure.

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.
