Safety

Chemicals

•

Use extreme care

making adjustments.

• Always read granular chemical or treated seed
manufacturer’s warning labels carefully and
remember them.

• Wear close tting clothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job as specied by the

chemical and/or seed manufacturer.

•

Always wear

apparatus and gloves when handling with granular
chemical or treated seed.

• Do not feed any treated seed to livestock. Treated
seed is poisonous and may cause harm to persons
or livestock.

• Wash exposed skin immediately - do not leave
chemicals on your skin.

• Properly store chemicals in original containers with
labels intact per the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and warning labels when operating an
ammonia tank with the equipment.

• Do Not enter Air Cart tank unless

another person is present and the
tractor engine has been shut off.

when cleaning, filling or

safety goggles, breathing

Danger

Failure to comply may result in death or serious injury.

Read Operator’s Manual and decals on Ammonia tank before operating Air Cart.
Become familiar with all warnings, instructions, and controls.

Always wear gloves and goggles when transferring or handling ammonia.

Always stay clear of hose and valve openings.

Always be sure pressure is relieved before disconnecting hoses or parts.

Always secure connecting parts and safety chains before towing ammonia trailer.

Always have ample water available in case of exposure to ammonia liquid or gases.

1-4 January 2019

Transporting

• Be aware of the height, length and width of
implement. Make turns carefully and be aware of
obstacles and overhead electrical lines.

• Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20
mph (32 kph).

• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough with

sufcient braking capacity so that the weight of the

loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.

• Use ashing amber warning lights, turn signals and

SMV emblems when on public roads.

• Do not transport in poor visibility.

• The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem and

reectors must be secured and be visible on the

machine for transport.

• Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight on
the centre wheels could cause the machine to sink.

• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to the
towing vehicle and the hitch of the implement.

• Check that wings are rmly seated on transport wing

stops, and wing lift valve and opener valve are in
locked postion.

• Be familiar with and adhere to local laws.

Hydraulics

• Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks
without hand and face protection. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring
immediate medical attention.

• Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks - never your
hands.

• Double check that all is clear before operating
hydraulics.

• Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends with machine
elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ends.

• Maintain proper hydraulic uid levels.

• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.

• Ensure all ttings and hoses are in good condition.

• Do not stand under wings.

Active Hydraulic System

The active hydraulic system uses a special manifold
block (S64940) which controls the Lift-Lower and
packing pressure functions through a controller and an
in cab display.

The controller and display provides the user the ability
to adjust the opener downforce packing pressure on the
go from inside the cab while applying product.

As well as push button convenience to Lift and Lower
the openers from the Transport into the Working position.

Two control options are available to suit Ground Drive
and VRT/ICT style Air Carts.

a) JEM - CC PILOT and ESX Controller

b) Topcon - X35 Apollo CM-40 Master module

Option A:

Vansco equipped Ground Drive units must be congured

with a JEM CC Pilot Drill Control system package.

Introduction

Manifold - S64940

ESX Controller

Option B:

Topcon X35 Apollo equipped Air Carts (VRT, ICT) units

can be congured to use Apollo Lift Control / Pack

Control.

Topcon Apollo Equipped Air Carts can also control the
QUANTUM Lift/Lower functions and Pressure settings*.

Lift Control will automatically Lift/Lower the openers
when entering and exiting a headlands or previous
applied coverage.

*Note: Pack Control - (Opener Pressure Control)

requires a complete spare drive channel on
Apollo ECU. A 4 Tank Cart would require an
additional EM40.

JEM CC PILOT Display Screen and ESX Controller

Warning

Openers drop with full down force when
powering up or rebooting the controller with
hydraulics engaged.

BE ALERT

Application

The Morris QUANTUM DRILL utilizes independent
parallel link openers. Each opener moves independently
of the frame and each other to follow every contour of
the land closely. The unique design of the opener allows
the Morris QUANTUM DRILL to be used in a variety
of seeding applications from conventional to zero till
applications.

SAFETY FIRST

REFER TO SECTION 1 AND REVIEW ALL

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS.

Tractor

Tires

• Proper ballast and tire pressure are required when
pulling heavy implements.

• Consult your tractor operator’s manual and follow all
recommended procedures.

Hydraulics

• Wipe all hydraulic ttings and couplers with a clean

cloth to avoid contaminating the system.

• Check that hydraulic reservoir is lled to the proper

level.

Drawbar

• Centre and pin in a xed position for easier hitching

and greater stability.

Warning

Do not permit smoking, sparks or an open
flame where combustible fuels are being used.
Keep the work area well ventilated.

Warning

Do not search for high pressure hydraulic
leaks without hand and face protection. A tiny,
almost invisible leak can penetrate skin, that
requires immediate medical attention.

Opener Hydraulic System

Operation

Basic function of the system:

• Tractor remote is set to continuous ow connected

to the “Pressure” port on the Opener Control Block.

• Control the Lift-Lower and packing pressure functions
through JEM display or X35 monitor.

WARNING: Openers will drop with full operating

force if the JEM display or X35 monitor is
rebooted with hydraulics running.

• Flow requirements during operation will be minimal in
most conditions (3-4 GPM max) (11-15 lpm) but large
changes in terrain (drainage ditches, terraces, water

runs) will cause larger ow rates for short intervals.
Minimum oil ow rate for the opener circuit would

be 18 GPM (68 lpm); 25 GPM (95 lpm) is optimal.

Lower ow rate = slower operation on headlands.

Flow requirements are highest while lifting/lowering
openers at headlands.

Operation

Lifting/Lowering

• Flow can be set to as much as the tractor can provide
without losing too much fan speed during lifting and
lowering of the openers.

• Pressing Opener “UP” button on the controller will lift
the openers fully up by shifting solenoid valve “S1”
to gland side of opener cylinders.

• Pressing Opener “DOWN” button on the controller will
lower the openers all the way down and lock them
into working position by shifting solenoid valve “S1”

to its default position of ow straight through to butt

end of opener cylinders.

WARNING: Default valve position is openers

down when applying ow at “Pressure” port.

• The system will remember the last mode (“UP” or
“DOWN”) that it was operating in and operate in that
same mode at next start up.

Note: If the controller is not present or connected,

the tractor remote can be used manually
to lift and lower the openers although no
pressure control will be available; pressure
down will be limited to the default of the

reducing relieving valve “S2” (200 psi)(1379

kPa).

Operation

Opener Hydraulic System - Continued

Operation - Continued

Pressure Setting

• Pressure can be adjusted on the go from the tractor
cab using the display.

• Pressing the Pressure “INC” button on the display
will increase the pressure by shifting proportional
reducing/relieving valve S2 in the block; each press of
the arrow will lift the pressure value by approximately
25 psi (172 kPa).

• Pressing the Pressure “DEC” button on the display
will decrease the pressure by shifting proportional
reducing/relieving valve S2 in the block; each
press of the arrow will drop the pressure value by
approximately 25 psi (172 kPa).

• The system will remember the last pressure setting
that it operated at and revert to that at next start up.

• To determine the approximate trip out force in pounds
on each shank, divide the system hydraulic pressure
in the circuit by 1.5.

For example: A system hydraulic pressure of 750 psi
(5171 kPa) would be approximately 500 lbs (227 Kg)
trip force at each shank.

Note: Due to the variation of friction effects, this

trip force is approximate.

Limp home mode (manual hydraulic operation)

If a situation arises where electronic control of the
opener hydraulics is not possible, a manual operation
mode can be used temporarily. In this mode, the tractor
hydraulics will need to be utilized to actuate lifting and
lowering of the openers. Tractor remote would need to

be set for continuous ow in the openers down operation

mode the same as when the electronic controls are
working. However, for lifting at headlands, the tractor
remote would be operated in the opposite direction to
lift the openers.

Pressure setting would then be done manually at the S2
Pressure Reducing/Relieving Valve. Turn the 3/16” hex
adjustment Clock Wise to increase pressure.

Note: Pressure adjustment on the go is not

possible while using “limp home mode”.

Topcon - X35 Apollo

The X35 Apollo system provides two operating modes

depending on the drill conguration:

1. Lift Control and Hydraulic Pressure Control

The target Hydraulic Pressure is entered into the X35
monitor. Once the desired hydraulic pressure is set,
the Topcon control loop analyzes the signal from the
Transducer and will increase / decrease the hydraulic
pressure of the S2 solenoid to maintain the requested
Target.

VR/ICT Base System (All Topcon equipped Morris Air
Carts) - pressure control and auto headland lift/lower
functionality.

• Proportional pressure control for split second
pressure control to maintain pressure even in rapidly
changing terrain.

• Automatically lift and lower openers in the headlands.

• Float mode to remove pressure from openers for soft
or muddy conditions.

• Potential to upgrade the system to Packer Force
Control as an add on kit.

2. Packer Pressure Control

Quantum drills equipped with the Topcon Pack Control
option include a new packing arm [S67716]. The
arm consists of a special Digi-Star spindle assembly
[S67715] which is capable of measuring the downforce
being applied onto the Packing Wheel.

The target Packing Force is entered into the X35 monitor.
Once the desired Packing Force is set, the Topcon
control loop analyzes the ADC signal from the Spindle
and will increase / decrease the amount of hydraulic
pressure of the S2 solenoid to maintain the requested
Packing Force Target.

VR/ICT Packer Force Control (Option) - can control /
maintain a set amount of pressure on the packer tire of
the row unit via a load cell sensor and closed loop control

• All of the capabilities of Hydraulic Pressure Control
with the added control function of maintaining/

controlling packer force for variable eld conditions

in order to improve depth control and product

placement as well as rmness of the soil in the furrow.

Note: Operator will have to be aware of changing

soil conditions across drill as Load Cell
maybe in softer or harder soil than the rest
of the drill.

Depth Adjustment - Continued

• Remove lynch pin from 1/2” diameter depth pin.

• Remove depth pin.

• Rotate depth cam to desired lettered setting (“A” is
the shallowest postition). Each increment changes
the depth a 1/4” (6.4 mm).

• Reinstall 1/2” pin and lynch pin noting letter position
before adjusting other openers.

Note: For ease of adjustment, adjust a few openers

across the drill to conrm desired seeding

depth before adjusting the remaining
openers.

• Move the “Openers” ball valve to the unlocked
position before using drill.

Depth Range Interval Change

• A shim in the normal operating position (produces

depth range results similar to the C2).

• Removing the shim will make each position on the

depth cam 1” (25.4 mm) deeper.

i.e. if the seeding depth is at 1” (25.4 mm) and the

shim is removed the seeding depth would now be
at 2” (50.8 mm) roughly.

• The depth cam remains the same i.e. going from

A to B will change the depth by 1/4” (6.4 mm).

Work Switch

(Optional equipment)

The pressure work switch activates the Air Cart Metering
system by the hydraulic pressure on the opener lift side.
When the openers are raised the switch opens at a
pre-set pressure turning off the Air Cart metering and
when lowered the switch closes at the pre-set pressure
to turn on the metering.

The pre-set Factory set point meets most operators’
preference. If the turn ON and OFF time needs to be
adjusted follow the procedure below:

• Remove cover from back of switch.

• Insert a 3/32” allen wrench into the adjustment screw
opening. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the
set point or counter clockwise to decrease.

- Increasing set point will cause the metering system

to turn ON quicker. This will also cause the
metering system to turn OFF later.

- Decreasing set point will cause the metering

system to turn ON later. This will also cause the
metering system to turn OFF quicker.

General Guidelines

The results obtained from the Morris QUANTUM Drill
are directly related to the depth uniformity of the unit.
Worn points, uneven tire pressures, and bent shanks

must be avoided to obtain optimum eld results.

• Operating depth should be uniform at all opener
locations, when spot checking the implement in the

eld.

• Check openers running in tractor or air cart tracks
and adjust depth accordingly.

• Repair or replace bent shanks. Bent shanks cause
openers to work at uneven depths and can cause
unnecessary ridging. See Maintenance Section.

• Keep tire pressure at the listed specications to

maintain proper level. See Maintenance Section.

• Have Air Drill moving forward before lowering into
ground to avoid plugging openers.

• Avoid sharp turns. Turns sharp enough to cause
the inside openers of the air drill to reverse direction
are not recommended. This may cause the seed
openers to plug.

TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY.

Do Not Take Needless Chances!

Caution

Care should be taken when
working near the air cart
while the fan is running.
Product blowing out of
the system could cause
personal injury.

5-36 January 2019

Quick Tips

Note: Read the Operator’s Manual for detailed

operating and adjustment instructions.

Shank Trip Force

Shank trip force (lbs) is calculated by dividing the display

pressure by 1.5 (ex. 750 psi display pressure = 500 lbs

shank trip force). Shank trip out pressure is generally
set at the minimum pressure that keeps the shanks
solid in the vertical position and prevents them from
repeatedly “tripping out”, while still providing adequate
packing. Maximum recommended shank trip out
pressure is 1200 psi.

Packing Force

Packing force is proportional to shank trip out force
and is roughly 1/3 of the shank trip force (ex. 500 lbs
shank trip force would give approximately 167 lbs of
packing force).

Operation

JEM Display

Pressure Gauge

Hydraulic System

The Quantum Air Drill uses an active hydraulic system
meaning that approximately 3-4 GPM will be consumed
by the system during operation. A reducing/relieving
valve (S2) sets the pressure value and is controlled
from the cab. Operating pressure range is normally
anywhere from 500 to 1500 psi depending on soil
conditions, opener selection and ground speed. Opener
pressure can be reduced on the go for soft spots or tilled

areas in the eld or increased for hard packed areas.

Float position (equal pressure on both sides of opener
cylinder) is also possible using the Topcon system and
can be effective at walking the drill through low spots.

Lifting and Lowering the Openers

Openers will travel all the way up or all the way to
working position based on the controller selection; there
is no middle operating position. Ensure the openers are
fully lifted with the transport ball valve locked and the
tractor hydraulics off for road transport.

Quick Tips - Continued

Setting the Seed Depth

Seed depth is measured from the packed soil surface to
the seed. Set the seed depth on the drill by setting a few
openers across the drill to different depths and seeding
a test patch. Always seed the test patch at the same
ground speed and opener pressure that you intend to
maintain during regular seeding conditions. Then check
the seed depth of these openers, pick the depth setting
that you prefer, and set all openers to the desired letter
setting on the depth adjustment cam. The openers
perform best while seeding from 1/2” (13mm) to 1-1/2”
(38 mm) seed depth, but each customer is responsible
for choosing their own depth setting according to their
preferences and experience. Each adjustment notch
on the adjustment cam is 1/4” (6.4 mm) adjustment.
Shallow depth settings can be consistently maintained
with the QUANTUM Air Drill system.

Note: Be sure to check tractor and/or air cart tracks

to see if the added soil compaction has
affected the seed depth; the independent
openers can be adjusted separately to
compensate for wheel tracks.

Seeding Conditions

The QUANTUM Air Drill is meant to be used as a
minimum to no-till seeding system and care should
be taken when attempting to seed into loose or pre­worked soil conditions. Shallow seeding depth, reducing
operating speed and operating pressure may help
reduce soil throw and ridging in soft conditions.

Note: Soil throw onto adjacent seed rows also

occurs on conventional air drills with gang
style packers, but is less visible because the
gang packers pack all rows simultaneously
at the back of the drill.

Straw Management

Successful seeding starts at harvest. The height of the
straw should not exceed the row spacing of the seeding
unit. The combine should chop the straw and spread the
straw and chaff evenly across the entire swath width. A
heavy harrow may also be required to spread and break

down the straw after the eld has been harvested. If

the straw height does exceed the row spacing a mower
should be used to shorten the straw length.

IMPORTANT

The Paired Row Opener with the NH3 adapter
is intended to allow the operator the flexibility to
switch between granular fertilizer and NH3 without
having to change openers. The opener is not
intended to apply granular fertilizer and NH3 in
the same operation. Excessive gassing off of the
NH3 will occur in such an operation. Producers
are still able to place starter fertilizer with the seed.

Morris Industries shall have no obligation or
liability of any kind on account of the end-user
incorrectly using this opener.

5-38 January 2019

Quick Tips - Continued

Air Drill Frame

The QUANTUM Air Drill frame is a simple slab frame
system, designed to let the parallel link openers do
the work of depth control and leveling during seeding.
No leveling of the frame is required. During normal
operation of the drill there will be very little weight on the
rear tires of the frame. The rear tires may even leave
the ground while traveling through sharp gullies; this is
normal, and it will not affect the seed depth control of
the openers. If the tires are lifted in the air consistently,
optional weight kits can be applied to the depth beams
near the rear axles.

Operation

Wing Lift Hydraulics

The wing lift hydraulic system is controlled by a
parallel hydraulic system. A pressure compensated

Flow Control Valve is used to control the ow of oil to

the cylinders allowing both wings to fold and unfold
simultaneously. A hydraulic circuit Shut Off valve is used
to lock the hydraulic circuit and prevent any leak back,
this ensures the wings remain in transport.

The Flow Control Valve is located on the main frame
and there are no adjustments associated with the valve.

The Shut Off valve is located on the front wing lift truss
for easy access.

To unfold the Air Drill, the oil ows to the Flow Control

Valve, from there to the butt end of all the wing lift
cylinders extending the shafts and lowering the wings.
All cylinders must be fully extended to ensure correct
operation of the machine.

Placing the unit into transport is the reverse of unfolding
the unit. Oil is fed to the shaft end of the cylinders
retracting the cylinders and lifting the wings into
transport position.

Openers Valve Wing Valve

Note: When raising or lowering wings, do so in one

continuous motion until fully up or down. Do

not stop ow part way allowing wings to fold

on their own. This may disrupt the sequence
of operation.

Operation

Opener Hydraulics

The QUANTUM uses an active hydraulic control system.

This means the tractor’s hydraulic circuit to the QUANTUM openers are permanently engaged into the working
position through manifold block (S64940) which controls the Lift-Lower and packing pressure functions via a controller
and an in cab display.

The controller and display provides the user the ability to adjust the opener downforce packing pressure on the go
from inside the cab while applying product.

The following is the oil ow for both operating types and can be used for problem diagnosis.

To lower

• Pressing Opener “DOWN” button on the controller will lower the openers all the way down and lock them into
working position by shifting solenoid valve “S1” which actuates pilot directional valve “PD”; “PD” valve in the diagram

will be at its default position of ow straight through.

To raise

• Pressing Opener “UP” button on the controller will lift the openers fully up by shifting solenoid valve “S1” which

actuates pilot directional valve “PD”; “PD” valve in the diagram will be shifted to cross the ow over (arrows crossed

symbol).

Pressure Setting:

• Pressure can be adjusted on the go from the tractor cab using the display.

• Pressing the Pressure “INC” button on the display will increase the pressure by shifting proportional reducing/
relieving valve S2 in the block; each press of the arrow will lift the pressure value by approximately 25 psi (172
kPa).

• Pressing the Pressure “DEC” button on the display will decrease the pressure by shifting proportional reducing/
relieving valve S2 in the block; each press of the arrow will drop the pressure value by approximately 25 psi (172
kPa).

• The system will remember the last pressure setting that it operated at and revert to that at next start up.

Trouble Shooting

The opener valve (S1) has two states; ON (opener UP) and OFF (opener DOWN). When the opener valve is on/UP,

the output is set to 3000mA (default value). When the opener is off/DOWN, the output is set to 0mA. These signals
can be measure with a multi-meter directly at the valve connection. Just pull the plug out of the coil and measure the
amperage across the two pins of the wire harness connector. Pin 1 of the S1 wire harness connector is connected
to the controller output and pin 2 is connected to ground. Check these values without any hydraulic power.

The pressure reducing valve (S2) output is dependent on the state of the opener valve. If the opener is on/UP, the
output to the S2 valve is 1050mA, or roughly 87.5% of the max value of that valve (approximately 1750psi). When
the opener is off/DOWN, the output to the S2 valve is whatever value has been set by the user via the display. As it
is now, this value can be anywhere from 350mA to 1200mA.

S1 and S2 are both current-controlled PWM outputs. Make sure to measure amperage and not voltage.

General

This section deals with two goals, maximum life and
dependable operation. Adopt a regular maintenance

and lubrication program. Care and sufcient lubrication

is the best insurance against delays.

SAFETY FIRST

REFER TO SECTION 1 AND REVIEW ALL

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS.

Safety

• Always shut off the tractor and remove key before
dismounting.

• Guard against hydraulic high pressure leaks with
hand and face protection.

• Never work under the implement unless it is in the
down position or transport lock pins are in place
and secured with hair pins. Do not depend on the
hydraulic system to support the frame.

• Always wear safety goggles, breathing apparatus
and gloves when working on seeder filled with
chemical. Follow manufactures recommended safety
procedures when working with chemicals or treated
seeds.

• Do not feed left over treated seed to livestock, treated
seed is poisonous and may cause harm to persons
or livestock.

Caution

Lubrication

Greasing pivot points prevents wear and helps restrict
dirt from entering. However, once dirt does enter a
bearing, it combines with the lubricant and becomes an
abrasive grinding paste, more destructive than grit alone.

• Apply new lubricant frequently during operation to

ush out old contaminated lubricant.

• Use a good grade of lithium based grease.

• Use a good grade of machine oil.

• Clean grease ttings and lubricator gun before

applying lubricant.

Refer to the photos for grease tting locations.

procedure.

• Relieve all pressure from the opener circuit by

placing the tractor remote in “oat” position.

• Shut tractor engine off and ensure park brake is
engaged before proceeding.

• Place “Openers” ball valve into locked position to

prevent accidental oil ow to openers.

• Once the pressure is off of the opener circuit, remove
retaining bolts from shank holder. See diagram on
page 6-10.

• Remove shank from shank holder.

• Remove opener from shank.

• Reverse above procedure to reassemble.

Maintenance

Warning: Crushing Hazard

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Stand Clear - openers move rapidly under hydraulic
pressure.

• Before servicing hydraulics - Lower openers to ground
and relieve pressure from hydraulic system.

• Shut tractor off and remove key before servicing or
adjusting depth.

• Place “Openers” valve in locked position before adjusting
depth or servicing.

Bleeding Hydraulic System

If hydraulic system has been serviced air will need to
be bleed out of system as follows:

To bleed hydraulic system of air:

• Controller / X35 must be turned OFF.

• Lift openers up and lock tractor remote in lift
position.

• With tractor hydraulics operating, open bleed-off
ball valves on end of drill wings.

• Allow oil to cycle for several minutes then change
direction of tractor remote to lower openers and
cycle for several more minutes.

• Close bleed-off ball valves and lift openers up.

• Repeat above procedure for a second time.

• Close bleed-off ball valves and lift openers up.

• Lock “Openers” valve and check to see that

openers stay rmly in position.

• If openers are spongy repeat procedure until air is
gone.

Warning

HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before
servicing or disconnecting hoses.

• Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for leaks. Use wood or cardboard
instead of hands.

• Keep all components in good repair.

Important

Remove all pressure from hydraulic systems
before attempting any service work on
hydraulic components.

Hydraulic system must be bled after it has
been serviced (if any portion of the system
has been opened to atmosphere).

And also on initial start-up or if spongy or
irregular trip operation is occurring.

Hydraulic System Trouble Shooting

If pressure can not be maintained in the hydraulic
system, or openers drop rapidly from transport position,
a leaky hydraulic cylinder (bypassing oil across the
piston seal) may be present. To locate a hydraulic leak
in the QUANTUM Air Drill hydraulic system, the following
procedure can be used:

1. Remove pressure from the hydraulic system.

2. Check the drill frame and hoses to make sure that
the leak is not external (leaking oil out of the circuit).

3. Lift the openers into their raised position.

4. Lock the opener hydraulic ball valve.

5. Watch the openers carefully across the drill and

locate the rst opener(s) to visibly drop down from

the raised position (NOTE: This is the general area

of the leaking cylinder, but the rst opener to drop is

not always the leaking cyinder.).

6. Unlock the “OPENERS” hydraulic ball valve and
lift the openers to the raised position and lock the

hydraulic remote in the raised position to apply ow
to the circuit for about ve minutes.

7. Let the hydraulic remote go back to neutral, shut off
the tractor, and then go and check the temperature
of the opener cylinders by feeling the cylinder barrels.
Start at the group of cylinders that were located in
step 5) and then work from the outer openers in to
center until a “hot” cylinder is located.

8. Under normal conditions the cylinders should remain
cool (ambient temperature or slightly above); the
opener with a “hot” cylinder barrel has the leaky seal
and should be serviced or replaced.

DECAL - S65157

Openers Valve Wing Valve

Valves in Locked Position

Note: All hydraulic cylinders have a natural leakage

rate. The openers on the QUANTUM drill
will drop over a long period of time during
storage; this is normal. Only check for
leaky cylinders if openers drop rapidly from
transport in a short period of time.

January 2019 6-17

Maintenance

Hydraulics

Refer to Section 1 regarding hydraulic safety. In addition:

• Inspect hydraulic system for leaks, damaged
hoses and loose fittings. CRITICAL - ACTIVE
HYDRAULICS WILL CONTINUE TO LOOSE OIL
TO THE ATMOSHPERE/ENVIRONMENT IF A LEAK
GOES UNDETECTED - INSPECT REGULARLY.

• Damaged hoses and hydraulic tubing can only
be repaired by replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT
REPAIRS WITH TAPE OR CEMENTS. High
pressure will burst such repairs and cause system
failure and possible injury.

• Always relieve hydraulic pressure from the system
before performing maintenance or repairs.

• Leaking cylinders - install a new seal kit.

• Fittings - use liquid Teon on all NPT hydraulic joints.

Do not use liquid Teon or Teon tape on JIC or

ORB ends.

• Hydraulic Hose Connections - when connecting the

hoses to the cylinders, tubing, etc. always use one
wrench to keep the hose from twisting and another
wrench to tighten the union. Excessive twisting will
shorten hose life.

• Keep ttings and couplers clean.

• Check the Tractor Manual for proper lter replacement

schedule.

Refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.

Contact your nearest Dealer for genuine repair parts.
Dealers carry ample stocks and are backed by the
manufacture and regional associations.

Caution

Dirt in the hydraulic system could damage
O-rings, causing leakage, pressure loss and
total system failure.

Note: Extreme care must be taken to maintain

a clean hydraulic system. Use only new
hydraulic fluid when filling reservoir.

HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before servicing or
disconnecting hoses.

• Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead of hands.

• Keep all components in good repair.

Wing Lift Cylinder Shaft Protection

The steps summarized below should be followed when
protecting chrome plated shafting on equipment:

• Position the equipment as it will be stored, and
identify all the exposed portions of the chrome plated
shafts.

• Clean dirt and dust from the exposed portions of the
shafting using a dry cloth or a cloth which has been
dampened with an appropriate solvent.

• Prepare a mixture of 60% oil-based rust inhibitor and
40% Kerosene. Apply a thin coating of this mixture to
the exposed surfaces of the chrome plated shafting.
No. 1 fuel oil may be substituted for Kerosene. A
cloth dipped in the mixture can be used to apply the
coating.

• Inspect the shaft surfaces after six months and apply
additional corrosion preventative mixture.

• If the equipment is to be moved and then stored
again for an extended period of time, the steps above
should be repeated for all shafts that were stroked
during the move.

• Before retracting the cylinders the protective

coating should be removed, to prevent ne sand

and dirt that has accumulated in the coating, from
damaging the shaft seal. Under no circumstances

should sandpaper or other abrasive be used
to clean the surfaces. Plastic or copper wool in

combination with an appropriate solvent will remove
most of the dirt.

Storage

Caution

Dirt in the hydraulic system could damage
O-rings, causing leakage, pressure loss and
total system failure.

Removing From Storage

• Review Operator’s Manual.

• Check tire pressure (Refer to Tire Pressure List)

• Clean machine thoroughly. Remove coating from
exposed cylinder shafts (Refer to Wing Lift Cylinder

Shaft Protection).

• Lubricate grease fittings. (Refer to Lubricating
