General Safety Rules

M0217-01Model 3660

1. Read and understand instructions provided in this
manual and warning labels. Review these instructions
frequently!

2. This machine is designed and built with your safety
in mind. Do not make any alterations or changes to this
machine. Any alteration to design or construction may
create safety hazards.

3. A large portion of farm accidents happen from fatigue
or carelessness. Safe and careful operation of tractor
and planter will help prevent accidents.

4.

Never allow planter to be operated by anyone
unfamiliar with operation of all functions of the unit.
Operators must read and thoroughly understand all
instructions given in this manual before operating or
working on equipment.

5. Be aware of bystanders, particularly children! Always
look around to make sure it is safe to start tow vehicle
engine or move planter. This is particularly important
with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not
hear people shouting.

6. Make sure planter weight does not exceed towing
capacity of tractor, or bridge and road limits. This is
critical to maintain safe control and prevent death or
injury, or property and equipment damage.

15. Use of aftermarket hydraulic, electric, or PTO drives
may create serious safety hazards to you and people
nearby. If you install such drives, follow all appropriate
safety standards and practices to protect you and others
near this planter from injury.

16. Follow all federal, state/provincial, and local
regulations when towing farm equipment on a public
highway. Use safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic
tow strap) to retain connection between towing and
towed machines in the event of primary attaching system
separation.

17. Make sure all safety/warning lights, SMV sign, and
reflective decals are in place and working properly
before transporting the machine on public roads.

18. Limit towing speed to 15 MPH. Tow only with farm
tractor of a minimum 90 HP. Allow for unit length when
making turns.

19. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of
overturning. Always drive at a safe speed relative to local
conditions and ensure your speed is slow enough for a
safe emergency stop.

20. Chemical application is often an integral part of
planting. Follow label instructions for proper chemical
mixing, handling and container disposal methods.

7. Never ride or allow others to ride on planter.

8. Store planter in an area away from human activity. DO
NOT permit children to play on or around the stored unit.

9. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving
parts. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing which may catch
in moving parts.

10. Always wear protective clothing, shoes, gloves,
hearing, and eye protection applicable for the situation.

11. Do not allow anyone to stand between tongue or
hitch and towing vehicle when backing up to planter.

13. Prevent electrocution, other injuries, or property
and equipment damage. Watch for obstructions such as
wires, tree limbs, etc. when operating machine. Be aware
of clearances during turns and when folding/unfolding
planter.

14. Reinstall all guards removed for maintenance
activities. Never leave guards off during operation.

21. Be familiar with safety procedures for immediate first
aid should you accidentally contact chemical substances.

22. Use the proper protective clothing and safety
equipment when handling chemicals.

23. Chemicals are supplied with Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) that provide full information about the
chemical, its effects on exposure, and first aid needs
in the event of an emergency. Keep your MSDS file
up-to-date and available for first responders in case of
emergency.

24. When servicing ground engaging components such
as opening disks and firming points, use special care to
avoid points and edges worn sharp during use.

25. Use professional help if you are unfamiliar with
working on hydraulic systems. Pressurized hydraulic fluid
can penetrate body tissue and result in death, serious
infection, or other injuries.

4. Field check planter.

Field and actual planting conditions dictate which transport wheel setting to use so row unit parallel arms are parallel
with ground. It may be necessary to lower ground drive wheels to ensure level lateral toolbar operation if transport
wheels are set in one of the two lower sets of holes. Make a field check when planter is fully loaded with seed,
granular chemicals, fertilizer, etc. to be sure wings are level with center frame. If wings are not level with center frame,
drive wheels and/or transport wheels can be raised or lowered in wheel arms to increase or decrease planter toolbar
height. Raise hitch to ensure level operation.

NOTICE

Component interference can damage equipment. Check clearance
between tires and drill shaft U-joint when using top hole setting.

EDGEVAC SYSTEM

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 manifolds, hoses, and seed meters on each row unit.

WARNING

Moving fan blades can cause amputation or severe injury. Never
operate vacuum fan with cover removed.

DIGITAL VACUUM READOUT

Digital vacuum readout is incorporated into Kinze Vision and Cobalt displays. Refer to their operation manuals for
instructions.

VACUUM FAN MOTOR VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY

A pressure relief valve in the hydraulic circuit prevents build up of oil pressure over 35 PSI in case drain line when
vacuum fan motor is operating. This valve will vent oil outside valve block through a drain hole in the aluminum valve
block. This can occur whenever case drain is improperly connected or pressure in motor circuit builds.

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

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

NOTE: Fan turns at a reduced speed If reverse pressure is applied.

ANALOG VACUUM OR PRESSURE GAUGE

The analog vacuum or pressure gauge connects directly to the
EdgeVac (vacuum) or ASD (pressure) manifold and is teed into
the digital sending units.

Only adjustment is to “zero” needle with no vacuum or
pressure present. If there is a significant difference between
gauge and a reading taken at meters, a different manifold
location should be found to connect hose to gauge and digital
sending unit.

Analog gauge

NOTE: Analog gauges are identical EXCEPT for plug and hose barb locations in side of gauge housing.
DO NOT connect EdgeVac or ASD hose to wrong gauge. Check plug and hose barb installation if readout is
erratic or appears inaccurate.
