Important Safety Information
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.
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.
2012-08-23 Table of Contents Index 402-382M
2 Swath Command™ Table of Contents Index Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc.
Wear Protective Equipment
▲ Wear protective clothing and equipment.
▲ Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing
protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Because working on equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
perform the installation.
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.
▲ Allow planter to cool completely.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems or before welding on planter.
▲ 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.
3PYP/3PYPA Fold Hazard
Unstable Heavy Overhead Object:
Under no circumstances ever leave the 3PYP/A planter in a
partially unfolded state. Wings could fall suddenly if a circuit
opens or fails. Wings may settle in any case. Working on fully
folded wings is not recommended due to the height.

General Information
These instructions explain how to install and set up the
Swath Command™ Section Control system.
This manual also provides reference information for a
factory-installed Swath Command™ Section Control
system.
With the optional Swath Command™ system, all row unit
final drive chains are clutch-controlled. Swath
Command™ can turn seed metering on and off for 6 to 8
sectionsa of rows. Using geolocationb information you
provide to the system, seeding can be disabled when
row units cross non-planting or previously-planted areas.
Prerequisites
For a field installation, verify this information before
opening cartons or beginning disassembly:
• Verify that you have the correct kit (step 1, page 6).
• Verify seed monitor compatibility (step 2, page 6).
• Verify that you have the tools required (page 7).
Figure 1
Swath Command™ Components

Components
A field installation kit includes these new components:
• air-operated row unit clutches
• solenoid valves
• compressor, tank and air delivery tubing
• CANbus valve control module
• DICKEY-john® A5 section control console
(supplementing the existing A1or AI110)
These existing planter components are removed:
• electric section clutches (two or three)
• final meter drive input sprockets at rows
There will be fasteners left over.
Additional Components Always Required
Whether factory or field-installed, these optional
components are dealer- or user-installed, and must be
configured prior to use:
• geolocation receiver, such a Trimble® AgGPS®262
(available from Great Plains).
• coordinate augmentation data source, such as a
Trimble® AgGPS®900 RTK rover radio
(available from Great Plains)
Additional Components That May Be Required
Field installation:
• For a pull-type planter with a hydraulic tongue,
manufactured prior to 2012, order one or two sets of
404-228D component mounting brackets and
fasteners (see step 97 on page 15).
Note: See “Options” in Operator manual 403-857M for
component and accessory ordering information.
a. Controlling a larger number of sections requires field installation of additional solenoid valves and CANbus modules. It also requires
sub-inch precision geolocation augmentation data.
b. The system requires a source of sub-meter geolocation data, usually via differential satellite positioning system, such as DGPS.
The antenna, receiver and cable for this are not included in the system. Further, enhanced resolution geolocation data may require
additional receiver capability and may require subscription from an augmentation service provider.

Prepare Planter
Verify Compatibility
1. Verify that you have the correct kit. Check your
planter model number (from the serial number
plate) against the kit part number table on page 4.
If your planter is not listed (or has an N/A), stop.
Contact your dealer.
If the kit you have is not for your planter, stop.
Contact your dealer.
2. Verify that the planter has a compatible seed
monitor.
Verify that the monitor console for your planter is
a DICKEY-john®IntelliAg® 10 inch color display,
Model A1, A1+ or AI100.
If you have a DICKEY-john®IntelliAg® 12 inch
color display, Model AI120, and Swath Command™
was not factory-installed, have your dealer contact
the factory.
If you have a 5 inch monochrome IntelliAg
console, a separate console upgrade is required.
Contact your dealer.
If you have a Seed Manager™ SE console, the
Swath Command™ Section Control kit is
completely incompatible. Contact your dealer for kit
return.
3. Plan the air clutch installation. Meter shafts run the
entire length of each section (center or wing).
Removal requires a clear path from at least one end
of the shaft, into the workspace, for that length.
Horizontal-Fold 2-Section Horizontal-Fold 3-Section Stack-Fold
In general, access to the drive shafts
is easiest from the wing ends. The
wings must be positioned such that
the wing-end casters swing clear of
the shaft path.
The wings must be partially or fully
folded for access to the center
section drive shaft.

Other Tools Required
• The tractor to be used afield with the upgraded planter
must be present for spotting, unfolding, folding and
final setup.
• The work area must have sufficient area for a partially
unfolded planter (fully unfolded 3PYP/A), including
clearance at each wing end for complete removal of
wing-long meter drive shafts.
• Folding planter only: A fish wire or stiff fish tape may
be needed to pull the air tubing through the left wing
pull bar. If the fish line cannot easily be inserted
through the pull bar, it will be necessary to remove the
existing hoses and harnesses, and re-pull them with
the air tubing.
• 3PYP/A planter only: The work area must have
sufficient vertical clearance for a fully folded planter.
• The work area must be well illuminated, with a clear
surface beneath for recovery of any dropped parts.
• One or more adjustable stand are recommended for
supporting extended free shaft ends.
• The Operator and Parts manuals for the planter must
be present. Check the Great Plains web to ensure
they are current.
• Twin-Row only: The Seed Rate manual is needed if
sprocket index settings need to be restored after the
installation. For Air-Pro® models, have the 812-391C
timing tool on hand for restoring index settings.
• Pre-2012 Hydraulic Tongue only: a drill with a
17
⁄32inch (13.5 mm) bit and suitable pilot bit.
•A1⁄4inch (6.3 mm) flat-face punch is needed for
driving roll pins.

Machine Damage and Population Risks:
Use the locator tools or precision optical alignment. If a shaft
has sag, excess bearing wear results. In more severe cases of
bearing mis-alignment, a hard-to-turn shaft could cause
excess chain wear, or drive system slippage and low
populations on a ground-drive planter, and motor overheating
on a hydraulic-drive planter.
• A cleaning rag and fine point indelible marker are
recommended for identifying the location and
orientation of removed shafts.
• A note pad is recommended for recording locations of
some re-used and/or replaced components. A digital
camera may also be helpful.
• Only basic hand tools, including hex keys in fractional
sizes, are otherwise required.
• Cable ties.

Replace Electric Clutches
Depending on planter model and drive type, there are
two or three electric clutch assemblies that are replaced
with a simple sprocket. Due to their electrical load, these
cannot be left connected to the system harness, and
without electrical control, would leave the drive system
disabled.
Refer to Figure 3
(which depicts a clutch on a hydraulic drive 3PYP planter)
These clutches are generally present at shaft ends,
27
and may be secured on their shaft by set screw lock
collars , roll pins, or both. Older assemblies may lack
the oil shield depicted at right.
15
16
10. Locate all the electric clutches on the planter.
11. Unplug the lead at each clutch.
Update one clutch at a time.
12. Measure from any convenient reference point to the
center-line of a clutch output sprocket (along the
24
shaft). Make a record of this location. The
replacement sprocket provided needs to align with
the drive chain , and must be at this same
12
position on the shaft (installed at step 18).
13. At the end of the shaft where you plan to remove a
clutch, examine any components mounted
1
between the clutch and shaft end (and there may be
none).
Note: Check your Parts manual to ensure that you know
how these go back together.
14. Loosen or release spring on idlers (not shown) on
12
chain .
Roll Pin Damage Risk:
If any roll pins need to be removed, drive them out carefully
and save them. The kits do not include replacement roll pins.
15. Remove and save all components (except bearings,
if possible), between shaft end, up to and including
the outside clutch collar or roll pin (not shown).
15
Loosen bearings and/or brackets as needed to free
shaft end. If may be necessary to free the other end
of the shaft and slide it clear of the clutch. Take note
of, and save, any removed components.
16. Lift chain off clutch output sprocket . Remove
12 24
the clutch assembly. It is not necessary to remove
the sprocket, spacer and oil shield from the clutch.
None of these parts are reused.

808-319C SPKT 50C30 X 7/8 HEX BORE
Measure the position of this sprocket with reference
to the row unit shanks on either side. Record these
dimensions, and whether the sprocket is secured in
place by no collars, one LH, one RH or two collars.
33. Along the entire length of the shaft, locate each pin
hole and roll pin (not shown, and there may be
none). Clean the shaft near each hole. Mark
occupied holes (for example “I”) and empty holes
(for example “o”).
34. Twin Row Only (Air-Pro® and finger meter only):
Check for deliberate stagger (consistent difference
sprocket tooth orientation at the meter sprocket).
For the front row, note the tooth number at top dead
center. Record that number and the T.D.C. tooth
number for the rear row.
Note: Lock collar (not shown) locations, other than for

eliminating pull-out risk and minimizing tubing flex. Routing
tubing directly across a wing gap will result in tubing damage
during operation.

Implement Considerations
For a standard configuration, no components typically
need to be installed on the planter. Continue at “Install
Satellite Receiver” on page 28.
If after-market clutch control systems are to be used,
consult the supplier documentation for installation.
Unless CANbus compatible electronics are used, such
an installation will involve a harness from the tractor cab
to the planter main frame and tool bars.
Note: Clutch control components not supplied or
recommended by Great Plains may not be
monitored by the DICKEY-john®IntelliAg
system. Row shut-off by a non-standard swath
controller can cause nuisance row-failure alarms.
®
Install Tractor Components
For a standard configuration, using the supplied
compressor pre-installed on the planter, continue at
“Install Cab Components” on page 28.
With an existing air source, continue at “Install Satellite
Receiver” on page 28.
Relocate Standard Compressor
Refer to Figure 24
Plan the compressor re-installation, allowing for a
source of clean air and complying with other compressor
mounting requirements. These instructions presume a
re-installation on the tractor. Factors include:
• Chose a flat surface (base plate down). This may
require purchase or fabrication of a bracket.
• Keep the power leads to the battery as short as
possible. Use only the cabling provided and no
extensions. The voltage measured at the motor must
be 12.0 Vdc or higher, operating under load.
• Chose a compressor mounting location that is away
from heat sources, particularly exhausts and heat
exchanger outflows.
• Avoid locations near flammable liquids. The pump gets
hot. Splashed fuel could be a fire hazard.
• Chose a dry location if possible (this is a MUST if the
inlet filter is pump-mounted). The compressor is
water-resistant but not water-proof. Avoid locations in
the path of water thrown by tires.
• Allow a short inlet air hose run (or no hose at all)
between the compressor inlet and the inlet air filter
(filter MUST be placed at a clean and dry location,
typically the tractor cab). You may need to provide
hose for longer runs.
See the Viair User’s Manual for detailed compressor
installation instructions.

Note: If you plan to use an existing air source, it must be
able to provide 1.2 cfm (34 liters/min) at
130 psi (9 bar). The air must also be filtered at a
maximum 10 micron (10 µm) particle size to
prevent fouling of the cylinder breather plugs. An
existing source also needs to be adapted to the
pump outlet or tank inlet (hose size or3⁄8MNPT).
