The following information is general in nature and was written to aid the operator in preparation of the tractor and
planter for use, and to provide general operating procedures. The operator’s experience, familiarity with the machine
and the following information should combine for efficient planter operation and good working habits.

NOTICE

Always raise planter out of ground when making sharp turns or
backing up or tractor and equipment may be damaged.

Kinze EdgeVac Seed Metering System includes seed meters, seed discs and an air system consisting of a hydraulic
driven vacuum fan which draws air through the manifolds and hoses and the seed meters on each row unit.

WARNING

Uncontrolled machine movement can crush or cause loss of control

Install all safety lockup devices before working under or transporting
this equipment.

PLANTER LIFT SYSTEM

Planter lift system consists of six cylinders with one master, one slave, and one lift assist cylinder on each half of
planter.

With this master/slave hydraulic lift system, oil is forced into base end of master and lift assist cylinders when tractor
hydraulic lever is moved to raise position. As master cylinder is extended, oil from rod end of master cylinder is forced
into base end of slave cylinder.

Displacement on master cylinder rod end is equal to displacement on slave cylinder base end which causes cylinders
to move at same rate so planter raises and lowers evenly.

NOTE: Planter lift cylinders may get out of phase causing planter to lift unevenly. A valve located
in each master and slave cylinder piston allows the lift system to be rephased when cylinders are
cycled by lowering planter to ground and holding hydraulic lever for 10-30 seconds. Cycle system
until the planter lifts and lowers evenly.

Assist cylinders aid in lifting and supporting the planter in a raised position. Planter will lift evenly and settle evenly if
an assist cylinder is leaking (or if there is a leak in a hose or tractor connection).

ROW MARKERS

All Model 3200 planters are equipped with a dual valve hydraulic system which allows row markers to be operated
independently of planter lift cylinders. Row markers are controlled on alternating sides through a tractor SCV. A
sequencing valve directs flow to marker on opposite side each time a row marker is raised. When lower row marker is
selected, row marker on opposite side of row marker last raised is lowered. Both row markers can also be down at the
same time. Lower planter and row marker.

Marker hydraulic system includes two flow control valves. One flow control valve sets lowering speed and one sets raising
speed of both markers.

OPTIONAL FOLD CYLINDERS WITH SELECTOR VALVE

A hitch mounted, hand operated selector valve selects row marker or
fold functions. Fold cylinders are mounted on the each side of front
frame and folds wings to/from transport position. Row marker cylinders
raise and lower row markers.

NOTE: Hydraulic pressure will prevent valve from moving.
Release hydraulic pressure from system before attempting to
move selector valve handle.

CAUTION

Operating vacuum fan with cover removed can cause serious injury
from contact with high speed blades or blowing debris. never operate
fan with cover removed.

EDGEVAC FAN MOTOR AND VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY (If equipped)

Hydraulically operated motor requires maximum flow rate of 13 GPM
@ 2000 PSI to operate properly. It must be connected to a zero
pressure case drain and connected to the correct pressure and return

SCV's or PTO fittings.

A pressure relief valve in the valve block assembly prevents build up of
oil pressure over 35 PSI in case drain line when vacuum fan motor is
in operation. This valve vents oil outside of valve block through a drain
hole in the aluminum valve block. This can occur whenever the case
drain is improperly connected or motor circuit pressure is too high.

See “Hydraulic System Schematic - Vacuum Fan Motor System” in
Lubrication and Maintenance section.

The valve block also contains a check valve that prevents vacuum fan
from operating in wrong direction if pressure is applied to of motor
return side and allows fan to coast to a stop when tractor hydraulic
control is returned to neutral.
