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.
7. Never ride or allow others to ride on planter.
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 (25 km/h). 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Product Form Hose; Assembly Hose; AssemblyHose; AssemblyHose; AssemblyHose; AssemblyHose; Assembly
Toolbar should operate at 50 cm - 56 cm height from planting surface. Tire pressures must be maintained at pressures
specified for planter to operate level laterally. Check toolbar and row unit parallel arms are level front to back with
planter lowered to proper operating height.
Five holes in the hitch bracket allow clevis to be raised or lowered. Clevis may be turned over for a finer adjustment
between mounting holes. Torque hardware to 1138.8 Nm.
Field and actual planting conditions determine which wheel settings to use to ensure row unit parallel arms are
approximately parallel with planting surface. If planting in extremely soft soil conditions it may be necessary to move
ground drive tires to lower sets of mounting holes. To allow adequate drive force after lowering the ground drive tires,
it may be necessary to lower contact drive arms to lower set of holes in wheel module and relocate down pressure
springs to lower mounting rod on wheel module.
If planter center is higher or lower than wings after rephasing, contact your Kinze Dealer for valve adjustment or
maintenance.
CONTACT WHEEL SPRING ADJUSTMENT
20 cm (8")
Spring length measurement (Factory setting)
Contact drive springs
There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. Spring tension is factory set to approximately 90 kg
of down force at tire contact point and should require no further adjustment.
NOTE: Measurement must be taken in planting position with proper tire pressure.
Contact wheel drive works the same for mechanical or vacuum planters except for sprocket size. Chain tension is
controlled by a spring-loaded sprocket idler. Planting rate charts in “Rate Chart” section help you select correct sprockets.
NOTE: Make a field test after each sprocket combination change to be sure you are planting at desired rate.
22 tooth, 28 tooth or 44 tooth sprockets at each contact drive wheel can be exchanged with sprockets on storage rod
bolted to wheel module on each side of planter chains. 22 tooth sprockets require 148 pitch No. 40 chains. 28 tooth
sprockets require 150 pitch chains. 44 tooth sprockets require use 158 pitch chains.
NOTE: 22, 28 and 44 tooth drive sprockets do NOT apply to all rate charts. Check chart titles to make sure proper
rate chart is selected.
NOTE: 54 cell sunflower disc uses 15 tooth drive sprocket at contact wheels and 28 tooth drive sprocket at wheel
module reverser plates with 19 tooth sprocket. 15 tooth sprockets require 144 pitch No. 40 chains. Applicable
sprockets, chains and instructions supplied in G1K469 Sunflower Rate Reduction Kit.
Seed planting rate charts are based on standard rate drive. Standard rate drive uses a 30 tooth sprocket and No. 40 118
pitch chain on each contact wheel. Optional half-rate (2 to 1) drive is recommended only when population falls below planting
rate charts. Replace 30 tooth sprocket on each contact wheel with a 15 tooth sprocket and shorter No. 40 110 pitch chain.
This reduces planter transmission speed and planting and application rates by approximately 50%.
SEED RATE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT
Planting population rate changes are made using seed
rate transmissions at end of each planter wing. Seed
rate transmissions allow simple, rapid changes of
sprockets by removing lynch pins on hexagon shafts
and changing sprockets with those from the sprocket
storage rod bolted to transmissions.
Drive
Chain tension is controlled by a spring-loaded dual
sprocket idler. Idler assembly is adjusted with a easyrelease idler arm with a release position to adjust
spring tension for planting or remove spring tension

for replacing sprockets. See ‘‘Wrap Spring Wrench
Operation’’.
Seed rate transmission
A decal on the transmission (behind chain idler) shows proper chain routing. “Rate Charts” section of this manual will
help you select correct sprocket combinations.

HYDRAULIC/ELECTRIC OPERATION
Control console switches and tractor’s hydraulic system are used to raise planter to transport position, operate rotate
and tongue extension functions, lock and release planter wings, and raise and lower row markers.
NOTE: Turn console backlighting OFF during extended periods of non-use using push button switch on back
of console.
Single point row clutch control box
Two dual remote hydraulic outlets (SCV) are required on all sizes of conventional planters equipped with row
markers. Three dual remote hydraulic outlets (SCV) are required on all sizes of bulk fill planters equipped with row
markers. One set of outlets is used to operate lift function, one set is used to operate markers, tongue and fold/unfold
functions and the third set is used to operate bulk fill functions (If Applicable).
Marker and point row selector switches are an ON-OFF-ON type. If planter is equipped with optional Two-Speed Point
Row Clutch Package, point row switch and reduced rate switch operate independently from rest of control console.
Power to marker switch is fed through auxiliary switch and two transport function switches. Operating any lower row
switch disables markers and turns off marker indicator light.

VACUUM FAN VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY
A pressure relief valve prevents build up of oil pressure
over 35 PSI (241 kPa) in case drain line when vacuum
fan motor is operating. This valve vent oils outside
through a drain hole in aluminum valve block. This can
occur whenever case drain is improperly connected or
pressure in motor circuit builds.
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.

Output hub
Stop collar
Wrap spring
Input hub
Control tang
Clutch consists of a wrap spring riding on an input and output hub. Wrap spring is wrapped tightly over hubs during
operation locking them together. Higher speeds create a tighter grip of spring on hubs.
Input end of spring is bent outward and is called the control tang. Control tang fits into a slot in stop collar located
between input and output hubs over wrap spring. If stop collar is allowed to rotate with input hub, clutch is engaged. If
stop collar is stopped from rotating, control tang connected to it is forced back and spring opens. This allows input hub
to continue rotating without transmitting torque to output hub, stopping planter drive.
Stop collar is controlled by an electric solenoid and an actuator arm. When selector switch on tractor control box is
OFF, solenoid coil is NOT ENERGIZED and actuator arm will not contact stop on stop collar, allowing it to rotate with
hubs and drive planter.
When operational switch is in “DISENGAGE” (right or left) solenoid coil IS ENERGIZED and plunger in solenoid coil

FIELD TEST
Perform a field test with any change of field and/or planting conditions, seed size or planter adjustment to ensure
proper seed placement and operation of row units.
Check planter for front to rear and lateral level operation. See “Level Planter”.
Check all row units to be certain they are running level. Row unit parallel arms should be approximately parallel to
the ground when planting.
Check row markers for proper operation and adjustment. See “Row Marker Speed Adjustment”, "Row Marker
Chain Adjustment", and “Row Marker Length and Disc Blade Adjustment”.
Check for proper application rates and placement of granular chemicals on all rows. See “Field Check Granular Chemical Application”.
Check for desired depth placement and seed population on all rows. See “Field Check Seed Population”.
Check for proper application rates of fertilizer on all rows. See “Fertilizer Application Rate Chart”.
Reinspect machine after field testing.

Acre Seed Population Count Row Width/Distance
Row Width70 cm
Distance14.28 m
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 hectare by 1000. This gives total population.
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 20 cm and a gap of 40 cm is observed, a finger has lost its seed and not functioned properly. If two
seeds are found within a short distance of each other, finger has metered two seeds instead of one.
3. See “Seed Meter (Finger Pickup) Troubleshooting” or “Seed Meter (Brush-Type) Troubleshooting” in Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
EXAMPLE: 70 cm row spacing 14.28 m equals / hectare.
75 seeds counted x 1000 = 75,000 seeds per hectare
DETERMINING KILOGRAMS PER HECTARE (BRUSH-TYPE METER)
Seeds per hectare ÷ Seeds per kilogram (from label) = Kilograms per hectare
If seeds per kilogram information is not available use the following averages:
2,600 seeds per kilogram for medium size soybeans
15,000 seeds per kilogram for medium size milo/grain sorghum
4,500 seeds per kilogram for medium size cotton
DETERMINING LITERS PER HECTARE
Kilograms per hectare ÷ Seed unit weight = Liters per hectare
If seed population check shows planting rate is significantly different than seed rate chart shows or if a particular
meter is not planting accurately, see “Brush-Type Seed Meter Maintenance” and “Seed Meter (Brush-Type)

The use of graphite is recommended 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.

*Double amount of talc for sunflowers.
Adding graphite to conventional hopper
NOTE: Additional graphite may be required to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components. More
frequent cleaning of monitor seed tubes may be necessary due to use of additional graphite.
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
2. Finish filling hopper, add another
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.

LIQUID FERTILIZER PISTON PUMP APPLICATION RATES
LITERS PER HECTARE
Model NGP-6055 Pumps With 18 Tooth Contact Wheel Drive Sprocket
Charts are for planters equipped with contact drive. Check tires for correct operating pressure.
Charts calculated based on a solution weighing 1.2 kilograms per liter.
NOTE: Fertilizer application rates can vary from weights calculated in above chart. Make field checks to be
sure you are applying fertilizer at desired rate.
To check the exact number of liters your fertilizer attachment will actually deliver on a 70 cm row spacing:
1. Remove hose from one fertilizer opener and insert it into a collection container secured planter frame.
2. Engage fertilizer attachment and drive forward for 53m.
3. Measure fluid mL caught in container and divide that amount by 4. Result is liters fertilizer delivered per hectare
when planting in 70 cm rows
(e.g. 20ml = 2 L ; 50ml= 5L; 100ml = 10L).
.
4. Rinse collection container and repeat test on other rows if necessary.
NOTE: Chart represents average values and should be used only as a starting point. Granular chemical flows through
meter opening at a nearly uniform rate regardless of roller speed. Your actual rate will vary depending on insecticide,
planting speed, and plant population. Planting speed/ground speed has the greatest effect on application rate.
Field check your actual rate with insecticide you are using at speed and population you will be planting. See “Checking Granular
Chemical Application Rate” in Machine Operation section for more information..
