General Safety Rules

Model 3140M0256-01

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

26. Disposing of waste improperly can threaten the enviroment. To dispose of your equipment properly contact your local environmental or recyling center.

Never pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.

When disposing of waste such as oil, use leakproof containers. Be sure to use containers that do not resemble food or beverage which may mislead someone into consuming them. Dispose of oil per your local, regional requirements.

When disposing of any fertilizer chemicals used, contact the supplier of the chemicals.

Model 3140 planter consists of 85% recyclable metals, 10% recyclable plastic and rubber, and 5% waste.

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

WARNING

making sharp turns or backing up or tractor and equipment may be damaged.

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

The dual lift assist wheel option requires a customer-supplied quick hitch to operate without the center link pin. 8 row wide planters require removal of the center section gauge wheels to accommodate dual lift assist wheels.

INITIAL PREPARATION OF THE PLANTER

Lubricate the planter and row units per the lubrication information in this manual. Make sure all tires have been properly inﬂated. See “Tire Servicing”. Check all drive chains for proper tension, alignment and lubrication.

TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

All Hydraulic Requirements: Minimum

NOTICE

Approximate minimum tractor horsepower (HP) required for ﬁeld work is listed below:

12 Row Narrow - 150 HP And Up 12 Row Wide And 16 Row Narrow - 180 HP And Up

NOTE: Tractor must have adequate 3 point hitch lift capacity to lift weight of machine, attachments, seed and dry chemicals. Shipping weights do not include seed, dry chemicals or additional optional attachments.

Tractor front end stability is necessary for safe and efﬁcient operation. Therefore, it may be necessary to add front ballast to your tractor for satisfactory ﬁeld operation, as well as adequate transport stability. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual for front ballast recommendations.

Pressure 2350 PSI (16202.6 kPa); Maximum Pressure 3000 PSI (20684.2 kPa). Check tractor hydraulics to ensure that maximum pressure cannot be exceeded.

Vacuum

A 12 volt DC electrical system is required on all sizes to operate planter safety/warning lights.

One SCV remote hydraulic outlet is required to operate the row markers, one to operate planter fold and one plus a zero pressure case drain is required to operate the seed metering system vacuum fan.

Maximum hydraulic ﬂow rate of 13 GPM (49 L/min) @ 2000 PSI (13789.5 kPa) is required to operate the seed metering system vacuum fan.

NOTE: A Flow Control Needle Valve Kit, to provide a ﬂow control option for tractors that are not equipped with a method for ﬁnite adjustment of hydraulic ﬂow, is available from Kinze Repair Parts through your Kinze Dealer.

G1K426 Needle Valve Kit

TRACTOR PREPARATION AND HOOKUP

1. Set tractor rear wheel spacing at double the planter row spacing. For example: On a planter set for 38" rows, set the tractor wheel spacing at 76" (193 cm) center-to-center. On wide front end tractors set front wheel spacing equal to rear wheel spacing. Check tractor operator’s manual for correct front and rear tire pressure.

2. Adjust lift links on tractor so the planter will lift level from side to side and raise high enough for planter transport clearance. Set the sway blocks on the tractor in position to prevent side sway. Be sure the individual lift link arms are in the ﬂoat position.

LEVELING THE PLANTER

For proper performance of the planter and row units, it is important that the planter frame and row unit parallel arms operate approximately level. The toolbar should operate at a 20" to 22" (51-56 cm) height, measured from the planting surface to the bottom of the toolbar.

When operating the planter, make sure the right and left lower link arms on the tractor are adjusted equally before attaching the planter. After the planter has been lowered to the correct operating height, stop the tractor and stand beside the planter and check to be sure the frame is level fore and aft. If the row units angle up or down, adjust the center link on the tractor to level the machine.

It is important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be maintained at pressures speciﬁed and drive wheel height must be adjusted equally. See “Wheel Module Height Adjustment”.

WARNING

• Tow only with farm tractor rated and conﬁgured for equipment.

• Know your route and be aware of any obstructions.

• Follow all road and bridge load limit restrictions.

• Never exceed maximum transport towing speed of 20 mph (32 kph).

CONTACT WHEEL SPRING ADJUSTMENT

There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. The spring tension is factory preset and should require no further adjustment.

The tension is set leaving 1" (2.5 cm) between the spring plug and the mounting shaft as shown below.

PARKING STAND ADJUSTMENT

Vacuum Shown

Two parking stands, located on the front side of the main frame, are standard on all Model 3140 planters. The stands must be positioned so they are not directly behind the tractor tire or they will interfere when the planter is raised.

Each parking stand has six positioning holes. By using these positioning holes, you can set the main frame parking height from 19" to 25" (48 to 63.5 cm).

Raise the stands to the top position and pin when planting; lower and pin for parking and storage.

WHEEL MODULE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Drive Wheel Module Assembly

Center Section Gauge Wheel Assembly

The drive wheel module assembly and center section gauge wheel assembly are designed so the drive wheel height can be adjusted to maintain a frame height of 20" to 22" (51-56 cm) in all planting applications. This is particularly useful when the planter is used for ridge planting or planting on beds. The wheel module assembly has an adjustment range of 7" (18 cm). To adjust the wheel assembly, loosen the upper nut using a 1½" wrench or a 15" adjustable wrench and turn the lower nut using a 1½" wrench or 15" adjustable wrench (clockwise to decrease frame height or counterclockwise to increase frame height). Tighten the upper nut after adjustment is complete. Set all wheels equally.

SEED RATE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT

Planting population rate changes are made at the seed rate transmissions. The seed rate transmissions are designed to allow simple, rapid changes of sprockets to obtain the desired planting population. By removing the lynch pins on the hexagon shafts, sprockets can be interchanged with those from the sprocket storage rod bolted near each transmission.

Chain tension is controlled by spring-loaded, dual-sprocket idlers. The idler assembly is adjusted with a easy-release arm. This arm has a release position to remove spring tension for replacing sprockets. The amount of spring tension on the chain is controlled by the idler arm. See “Wrap Spring Wrench Operation”.

A decal positioned near each transmission illustrates proper chain routing. The planting rate charts found in “Rate Charts” will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket combinations.

WRAP SPRING WRENCH OPERATION

Release Chain Tension Increase Chain Tension

Chain idlers are equipped with wrap spring wrenches. L.H. wrap spring wrenches have a blue release collar and R.H. wrap spring wrenches have a grey or black release collar.

Rotate collar on wrap spring wrench and pull handle to release chain tension.

Rotate chain idler into chain and pull handle to tension idler spring.

CONTACT WHEEL DRIVE SPROCKETS

Drive Sprocket

NOTE: 15 tooth, 19 tooth or 30 tooth drive sprockets at each contact drive wheel can be interchanged from the sprocket storage rod bolted near each transmission. The 15 and 19 tooth sprockets require use of a 218 pitch No. 40 chain. The 30 tooth sprocket requires use of a 224 pitch No. 40 chain.

Chain tension is controlled by a spring-loaded sprocket idler. The amount of spring tension on the chain is controlled by the idler arm.

The planting rate charts found in “Rate Charts” section will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket.

NOTE: 15, 19 and 30 tooth drive sprockets are NOT applicable to all rate charts. Check chart titles to ensure the proper rate charts are selected.

NOTE: After each sprocket combination adjustment, make a ﬁeld test to be sure you are planting at the desired rate.

HALF RATE (2 TO 1) DRIVE

15 Tooth - Half Rate (2 To 1) Drive

Half rate (2 to 1) drive is recommended only when the desired population falls below that shown on the planting rate charts. Replace the 30 tooth drive sprocket and shorter No. 40 110 pitch chain on each contact wheel with a 15 tooth sprocket. This will reduce the planter transmission speed and reduce planting and application rates by approximately 50%.

NOTE: After each sprocket combination adjustment, make a ﬁeld check to be sure you are planting at the desired rate.

SHEAR PROTECTION

/" Shear Pin

Transmission Shaft

The planter driveline and seed and granular chemical drivelines are protected from damage by shear pins.

If excessive load should cause a pin to shear, it is important to determine where binding has occurred before replacing the pin. Replace shear pins with same size and type.

To prevent future binding or breakage of components, check driveline alignment and follow prescribed lubrication schedules.

NOTE: Drill shaft/transmission coupler alignment is critical.

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 vacuum meter or bulk ﬁll hose to wrong gauge. Check plug and hose barb installation if readout is erratic or appears inaccurate.

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.
