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.

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.

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.

The single valve marker system uses a sequencing valve which directs hydraulic ﬂow to operate the markers alternately. Each time a marker is raised, the sequencing valve will direct ﬂow to lower the opposite marker.

Both markers can be used at the same time if desired. To do this, lower the planter and the marker that has been selected. Move the tractor SCV control to the raise position and immediately return it to the lower position. This will shift the marker control valve and the remaining marker will be lowered.

ROW MARKER SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Flow control valves located in the marker sequencing/ﬂow control valve assembly control lowering and raising speed of markers. One ﬂow control valve sets lowering speed of both markers and one sets raising speed of both markers. To adjust marker speed, loosen jam nut and turn control(s) clockwise, or IN to slow travel speed and counterclockwise, or OUT, to increase travel speed. Flow control(s) determine amount of oil ﬂow restriction through valves, therefore varying travel speed of markers. Tighten jam nut after adjustments are complete.

NOTE: Backing ﬂow control valve out too far can cause the o-ring seal on valve to fail when hydraulics are operated.

WARNING

NOTE: When oil is cold, hydraulics operate slowly. Make sure all adjustments are made with warm oil. Do not overtighten lock nut.

NOTE: On a tractor where oil ﬂow can not be controlled, the rate of ﬂow of oil from tractor may be greater than rate at which the marker cylinder can accept oil. Tractor hydraulic control lever will have to be held until cylinder reaches end of its stroke. This occurs most often on tractors with open center hydraulic systems. On tractors with closed center hydraulic systems, the tractor’s hydraulic ﬂow control can be set so the tractor’s detent will function properly.

POINT ROW CLUTCHES

With the use of electric-activated clutches, which disengage the drive, either half of the planter may be shut off for ﬁnishing up ﬁelds or for long point row situations.

The selector switch for the clutches is located in the point row clutch control box which is installed on the tractor.

NOTE: Switch should be left in OFF position when planter is not in use. If left in ON (left or right) position, the tractor battery will be discharged.

Point Row Clutch Control Box

NOTE: Since the liquid fertilizer piston pump have their own drive wheels, liquid fertilizer application will not be affected by use of the point row clutch.

Stop Output Wrap Input Collar Hub Spring Hub

Control Tang

The point row clutch consists of a wrap spring riding on an input hub and an output hub. During operation the wrap spring is wrapped tightly over the hubs connecting them in a positive engagement. The greater the force of rotation the tighter the grip of the spring on the hubs. Rotation in the opposite direction or stopping the spring from rotating prevents the transmission of torque from the input hub to the output hub stopping the planter drive.

The input end of the spring is bent outward and is referred to as the control tang. The control tang ﬁts into a slot in the stop collar that is located between the input and output hubs and over the wrap spring. If the stop collar is allowed to rotate with the input hub, the clutch is engaged. If the stop collar is stopped from rotating the control tang connected to it is forced back and the spring opens. This allows the input hub to continue rotating without transmitting torque to the output hub; therefore, stopping the planter drive.

The stop collar is controlled by the use of an electric solenoid and an actuator arm. When the selector switch on the tractor control box is in the OFF position the solenoid coil is NOT ENERGIZED and the actuator arm will not contact the stop on the stop collar allowing it to rotate with the hubs and drive the planter.

When the operational switch is in the “DISENGAGE” (right or left) position the solenoid coil IS ENERGIZED and the plunger in the solenoid coil pulls the actuator arm against the stop on the stop collar, disengaging the wrap spring and stopping the planter drive.

The optional Two-Speed Point Row Clutch Package is designed to allow on-the-go population rate adjustment as well as the capability to shut off either half of the planter for ﬁnishing up ﬁelds or for long point row situations.

The point row clutches are controlled by the point row clutch switches on the control box. The point row switch is used to shut off either the left or right half of the planter. Activating the reduced rate switch engages one solenoid on each clutch assembly and reduces the planting rate for the entire planter.

DUAL LIFT ASSIST WHEELS

Dual lift assist wheel equipped machines require use of a quick hitch (customer-supplied) and the top link pin is not used.

A single control valve operates the dual lift assist wheels.

When raising a planter equipped with dual lift assist wheels, the front of the planter should raise and then the back using the lift assist wheels to raise the rear of the planter. When lowering the planter, the lift assist wheels should begin to lower the rear of the planter before lowering the front of the planter.

If the machine is equipped with both the Dual Lift Assist Wheel Package and Wing Down Flex Cylinder Package, a single control valve operates both options. As the dual lift assist wheel cylinders extend to raise the toolbar, the wing down ﬂex cylinders retract to ﬂex the wings up 5° for added clearance when turning.

The ﬂow control valve must be adjusted so that the wing down ﬂex cylinders start to retract before the lift assist cylinders start to raise the toolbar. This will prevent the wings from drooping as the toolbar is raised.

Dual lift assist wheels hydraulics can also be plumbed into the 3 point lift circuit. A ﬂow control valve determines the correct sequence of events to allow the dual lift assist wheel cylinders to operate at the correct time in conjunction with the 3 point hitch lift circuit. See “Flow Control Valve Adjustment”.

See “Tractor Preparation And Hookup” for additional information.

ACCUMULATOR

An accumulator is standard in Dual Lift Assist Wheel Packages for Model 3140 Stack Folding 16 Row 30" Planters to absorb shock loads to the lift assist wheel arms during transport.

NOTE: Seeds may bounce or roll when planting with closing wheels raised and planting depth set shallow affecting seed spacing accuracy.

4. Count seeds in measured distance.

5. Multiply number of seeds placed in  of an acre by 1000. This gives total population.

EXAMPLE: 30" row spacing 17' 5" equals  acre.

26 seeds counted x 1000 = 26,000 seeds per acre

Seed count can be affected by drive wheel and seed meter drive ratio, tire pressure, and/or seed meter malfunction.

1. If seed check shows average distance between seeds in inches is signiﬁcantly different than seed rate chart

indicates, ﬁrst check drive ratio between drive wheel and seed meter. Check drive wheel air pressure, check for incorrect sprocket(s) in driveline and check drive and driven sprockets on transmission(s) for proper selection.

2. Check for seed meter malfunction. For example, if spacing between kernels of corn at the transmission setting

being used is 8" and a gap of 16" is observed, a ﬁnger has lost its seed and not functioned properly. If two seeds are found within a short distance of each other, the ﬁnger has metered two seeds instead of one.

GRAPHITE

The use of graphite is the primary recommendation to promote seed ﬂow, provide lubrication for the seed meter and to help dissipate static charge buildup. Among the available dry seed lubricants graphite is the most effective and easiest to use and it requires no mechanical agitation

Conventional Hoppers Mix one tablespoon of powdered graphite with seed each time hoppers are ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

NOTE: DO NOT apply graphite only in center of hopper. It will ﬁlter too quickly through the seed and not distribute as evenly as desired.

Apply graphite around outer perimeter of hopper.

80/20 TALC-GRAPHITE Talc-Graphite lubricant is to be used for treated seed, providing beneﬁts of both talc and graphite. It absorbs mositure to prevent bridging, minmizes static electricity for improved seed ﬂow, and lubricates seed and meters.

Conventional Hoppers Mix ½ C. of 80/20 talc-graphite evenly with seed each time hoppers are ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

NOTE: Talc-Graphite lubricant MUST be mixed evenly during ﬁll.

TALC

Talc seed lubricant may be used as a drying agent in addition to graphite lubrication. The drying agent may improve seed release and/or to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components.

1. Fill hopper ½ full of seed, add ¼ cup (conventional) of talc and mix thoroughly.

2. Finish ﬁlling hopper, add another ¼ cup (conventional) of talc and mix thoroughly.

3. Adjust rate of talc use as needed so all seeds are coated, while avoiding a buildup of talc in bottom of hopper.

Humid conditions and/or small sized seeds with extra seed treatment may require additional talc to maintain meter performance.

NOTE: Liquid seed treatments or innoculants may create buildup on the seed disc or brushes. Check frequently for proper population and/or seed delivery when using any liquid seed treatment.

Completely mix all treatments with seed following manufacturers’ recommendations. Seed treatment dumped on top of seed after hopper is ﬁlled may not mix properly and cause seed bridging, reducing population or stopping meter from planting.

BAYER FLUENCY AGENT

Bayer Fluency Agent is an alternate seed lubricant by Bayer Crop Science. The intent of this product is to replace graphite and talc lubricants and to lower the amount of dust emissions from planter vacuum fans.

This product, as tested by Kinze, is compatible with Kinze’s bulk ﬁll system and vacuum meters. Due to limited testing, wear life characteristics of meters and bulk ﬁll systems that use Bayer Fluency Agent are not yet known. Please follow Bayer Fluency Agent instructions for rates and mixing directions.

NOTE: Presently, Bayer Fluency Agent is only required to be used in Canada with Bulk Fill or Vacuum planters that plant corn or beans treated with neonicotinoids. Farms outside of Canada, farms not using seed treated with neonicotinoids, and farms not using pneutmatic metering devices do not need to use Bayer Fluency Agent. All planters not equipped with vacuums or fans are exempt from using Bayer Fluency Agent.

Larger grades generally plant more accurately at the high end of the ground speed range than smaller grades. Higher than optimum speeds may result in population rate increase or higher incidence of doubles, particularly with small seed. No. 3 and/or No. 4 size oil sunﬂower seeds are recommended for use in ﬁnger pickup seed meters equipped with oil sunﬂower ﬁngers. No. 1 and/or No. 2 size confectionery sunﬂower seeds are recommended for use in ﬁnger pickup seed meters equipped with corn ﬁngers.

Brush-Type Seed Meter (Soybean, Milo/Grain Sorghum, Acid-Delinted Cotton)

Rate charts are given in seeds per acre as well as seed spacing in inches rounded to nearest tenth of an inch. Because of large range in seed size, pounds per acre is not a suggested method of selecting transmission settings. Smaller size seed pounds per acre may be below what was expected and large seed pounds per acre may appear above expectations. To determine pounds per acre, use formula given in “Determining Pounds Per Acre (Brush-Type Seed Meter)” in “Check Seed Population” in Machine Operation section of this manual.

NOTE: Planting speed can affect actual seeding rate. Make a ﬁeld check and adjust transmission setting to obtain desired seed drop.

NOTE: Seed population per acre with 15" rows double rate for 30" rows, as well as 18" rows versus 36" rows and 19" rows versus 38" rows, at listed sprocket combination. See following pages.

NOTE: Half Rate (2 to 1) Drive Reduction Package may be required to obtain desired population and seed spacing when planting 15" row soybeans or other crops. Half Rate Drive with brush-type seed meters reduces planter transmission speed. Seeding rate will be approximately 50% of chart reading when using Half Rate (2 To 1) Drive Reduction Package.

EXAMPLE: 30" row spacing using 60 cell seed discs in brush-type seed meters. 80,928 ÷ 2 = 40,464 Population (2.6" Seed Spacing x 2 = 5.2" Seed Spacing)

PLANTING RATES FOR BRUSH-TYPE SEED METERS (STANDARD DRIVE)

APPROXIMATE HILLS/ACRE FOR VARIOUS ROW WIDTHS

Due to variations in cotton seed size, meters equipped with 12 cell acid-delinted hill-drop cotton discs will plant from 3 to 6 seeds per cell. Select proper disc for seed size range to be planted.

To determine planter transmission setting, determine desired hill spacing and select the transmission ratio closest to the hill spacing in inches on the chart. To decrease population increase spacing. To increase population decrease spacing.

To determine population per acre, determine average seeds per hill and hills per acre by doing a ﬁeld check. Measure ⁄ of an acre (⁄ acre = Length of row 17' 5" for 30" row widths, 13' 10" for 38" row widths and 13' 1" for 40" row widths). Multiply average seeds per hill by hills per acre. EXAMPLE: 4 seeds per hill x (13 hills x 1000) = 52,000

To more accurately predict population when using the 54 Cell Wheat disc, two things are needed:

1. Seeds/gram

2. Grams/revolution of seed disc

Seeds per gram can be found by weighing a small sample of desired seed (a cup or less) and counting number of seeds in sample.

Seeds

Grams weight of sample in grams

To ﬁnd grams/revolution a gram scale, a stopwatch, a small container to catch seed, and a method for spinning the meter at a

constant, known rpm (see your local Kinze dealer with a T4000 Seed Meter Test Stand) are needed.

1. Zero gram scale with the small container on it.

2. Load meter with correct disc.

3. Load meter with desired seed.

4. Start spinning meter at a known, constant rpm.

5. Start stopwatch as you place container under meter.

6. Catch seed with container for 10-30 seconds.

7. Stop the stopwatch as you remove container from underneath meter.

8. Weigh container.

9. Enter meter rpm, weight of sample, and duration of sample collection into the equation below:

EX: For a sample taken for 30 seconds with meter spinning at 50rpm and weighs 293 grams

10. Find desired output rate. For seeds per acre, use seeds/rev. For pounds per acre, use lbs/rev.

NOTE: The chart above represents average values and should be used only as a starting point. The granular chemical ﬂows through the given meter opening at a nearly uniform rate regardless of roller speed. Your actual rate will vary depending upon the insecticide you are using, your planting speed and your plant population. Planting speed/ground speed has the greatest effect on application rate.

Your actual rate must be checked in the ﬁeld with the actual insecticide that you are using and at the speed and population at which you will be planting. See “Checking Granular Chemical Application Rate” page for additional information.

DRIVE CHAINS

Lubricate all transmission and drive chains daily with a high quality chain lubricant. Extreme operating conditions such as dirt, temperature, or speed may require more frequent lubrication. If a chain becomes stiff, it should be removed, soaked, and washed in solvent to loosen and remove dirt from joints. Soak chain in oil so lubricant can penetrate between rollers and bushings.

WARNING

To prevent tire explosions:

• Maintain proper tire pressure. Inﬂating a tire above or below the recommended pressure can cause tire damage.

• Mount tires only by properly trained personnel using proper equipment.

• Replace tires with cuts or bubbles. Replace damaged rims. Replace missing lug bolts and nuts.

• Do not weld or heat wheel assembly. Heating increases tire pressure.

Buildup of debris or chaff may prevent proper ﬁnger operation and requires disassembly and cleaning of ﬁnger pickup meter.

1. Remove cotter pin, cover nut and adjusting nut and wave washer (If applicable) from drive shaft.

2. Carefully lift ﬁnger holder with ﬁngers and cam off shaft and clean.

3. Check brush for wear and replace if necessary or after every 100 acres (41 hectares) per row of operation (Approximately 800 acres (324 hectares) of corn or sunﬂowers on a 8 row machine or 1200 acres (486 hectares) on an 12 row machine).

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove ﬁnger holder to replace brush.

4. Remove springs from ﬁngers and remove ﬁnger from holder by lifting it out of friction ﬁt slot. Life expectancy of these parts is about 600-900 acres (243-364 hectares) per row of operation under average conditions.

5. Reassemble meter in reverse order after cleaning and replacing defective parts. Make sure open end of spring loop is toward inside of ﬁnger holder when replacing ﬁngers.

6. Install ﬁngers in holder so holder is ﬂush with carrier plate when assembled. A cam projection aligns with a mating notch in bearing housing to ensure proper operation when assembled.

Rev. 1/18 5-9

Lubrication and Maintenance

Check indentations on carrier plate for wear before installing ﬁnger holder on carrier plate. Excessive wear of carrier plate at indentations will cause over planting especially with small sizes of seed. Inspect carrier plate annually. Life expectancy should be 250-300 acres (100-125 hectares) per row of operation under average conditions.

8. Install wave washer and adjusting nut with ﬁnger holder ﬂush against carrier. Tighten adjusting nut to fully compress wave washer. Back off nut ½ to 2 ﬂats to obtain rolling torque of 22 to 25 inch pounds (2.5 N-m to 2.8 N-m).
