SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY

The 2940 system uses a switched power source. The 2940-153 will need connected to a switched power source. (Connector to the tractor not included)

SWITCHED POWER SOURCE CONNECTOR PART #’S:

JOHN DEERE P/N: RE67013

CNH P/N: 187103A1

FUSE PROTECTION

To protect the Compressor Assembly from damage always ensure the integrity of the integrated 40 amp and/or 80 amp circuit breaker at the tractor cable where connected to the battery in case of short or over-circuit. When connected correctly, the tractor has a fuse to protect the cab controller located in the tractor’s fuse panel.

AIR COMPRESSOR MAINTENANCE

To prolong life expectancy of compressor, clean filter by removing the element from the housing, and tapping it, exposed side down. This will empty the pleats of the filter of collected dust. If the dust has been wet or will not clean out, call Yetter to order a new element. You may lightly blow out the electronic box using an air tool. The housing and filter should be checked every two days of field operation, or more if conditions are very dusty.

FAILURE TO LINE UP TABS WHEN PLUGGING MALE INTO FEMALE CONNECTORS CAN RESULT IN SHORT CIRCUIT

2940 AIR ADJUST SYSTEM INFORMATION

The 2940 Air Adjust Residue Manager control system consists of five primary components and kits. These parts include; the Cab Controller, the Air Compressor Assembly, Residue Manager Kit, Tank Mounting Kit and the necessary Wires, Air Lines, and Fittings.

CAB CONTROLLER____________________________________________________________

2940-100

The Cab Controller will use the RAM mount provided for installation in cab. Make adjustments quickly and accurately during planting with the cab controller. Adjust up and down pressure to create the ideal “ride” or floating position for residue managers. Lift and down pressure settings can be adjusted independently. Down pressure can be increased to fix row cleaner in the rigid position. Five presets can be programmed within the controller for quick changes. Residue Managers can be raised as needed with a push of a button.

AIR COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY_________________________________________________

2940 Air Adjust requires a stable air supply

source that can provide 105 psi of clean, dry

air. The ‘clean, dry air’ is a key component of

the air supply, moisture within the air supply

can shorten the life-cycle of the system.

2940 AIR ADJUST SYSTEM INFORMATION

RESIDUE MANAGER__________________________________________________________

WIRE, LINES, AND FITTINGS KIT_____________________________________________

12V-DC cables will be used to power the air compressor, cab control, and dump valves. Flexible tubing will be used to move air from the tank to each air bag. Each kit will include pneumatic lines for both circuits, down and lift, as well as the fittings to make

connections and cable ties to securely fasten the lines to the planter.

Note: All 2940 Air Adjust kits include a tubing cutter within the kit.

The 2940-341 cutter should be used for

every cut to ensure a clean, square cut.

2940 AIR ADJUST ASSEMBLY GUIDE OUTLINE

STEP 1: INSTALLING 2940-100 CONTROLLER

Begin by installing the 2940 Air Adjust by mounting the 2940-100 Cab Controller and 2940-133 RAM Mount within the cab of the tractor. Position the Cab Controller within reach during operation without compromising safety or visibility from the cab. Route the 2940-152 cable from the hitch connecting point to the switch panel.

STEP 2: INSTALLING COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY AND POWER SUPPLY CABLES

Begin by locating a suitable mounting location for the compressor assembly. Placement of the compressor assembly will vary on the make and model of the planter. Use mounts supplied or depending on application, different mounts may need to be built. NOTE: Be sure to check clearance of compressor assembly in all locations, especially noting tractor tires and folding/unfolding the planter for transport mode and 2-point top link.

STEP 3: RESIDUE MANAGER INSTALLATION

Install the 2940-140 Residue Manager Assembly, securing with mounting hardware and then install Wheel Mount Assemblies. For conventional or larger planters upper holes may be needed. For very shallow planting depths, lower hole settings may need to be used.

STEP 4: CONNECTING & ROUTING AIR LINES

Install the air lines, down (black) and lift (blue) pressure circuits, to the Air Bags. Route the air lines safely from the Air Bags, avoiding rotating parts and pinch points, then connect to the trunk lines on the planter frame. Route the main trunk line in the direction of the compressor unit to connect with to the Compressor Assembly.

STEP 5: DUMP VALVE INSTALLATION

Install the dump valves to the planter as shown in the diagram. Install the wiring harness; route the wiring harness safely from dump valves to the Compressor unit, avoiding rotating parts and pinch points

. Refer to page 46.

STEP 6: PERFORM A PRE-OP TEST OF THE SYSTEM

Now that the system is set up, perform a test of the system. Before performing a test, make sure to fully unfold your planter. Begin a Compressor test, Wiring and Plumbing test, and a Leak test on your system. Refer to page 47.

Refer to page 15.

Refer to the diagram on pages 26-28.

Refer to pages 29-45.

INSTALLING THE CAB CONTROLLER

Step 1: Begin installing the 2940 Air Adjust controller once an adequate mounting

location has been found, fix the base component of the 2940-113 Mounting Bracket in place. Connect the mount bracket to the rear of the controller. Step 2: Attach the male end 2 pin connector of the 2940-153 to the female end 2 pin connector on the 2940-100 cab controller. Install connector not provided for your tractor at the bare end of the 2940-153 and connect to tractors switched power source. The

cigarette outlet is NOT a switched port on all models of tractors, and therefore should not be used.

Convenience port connector part #’s:

JOHN DEERE PART #: RE67013 CNH PART #: 187103A1

Step 3: Route the 2940-152 hitch to switch panel

wire harness from the rear 6 pin connector of the 2940-100 cab controller to the hitch-point at the rear of the tractor.

INSTALLING 2940 AIR COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY

Begin by mounting the 2940 Compressor:

Step 1: Every planter/tractor combination will contain its own unique situations in regard to mounting the 2940 Compressor Assembly for clearance and accessibility.

YOU SHOULD EXERCISE YOUR OWN BEST JUDGEMENT TO FIT YOUR SITUATION.

Begin by locating a suitable mounting location for the compressor assembly. Placement of the compressor assembly will vary on the make and model of the planter. Use mounts supplied or depending on application different mounts may need to be built. NOTE: Be sure to check clearance of compressor assembly in all locations, especially noting tractor tires and folding/unfolding the planter for transport mode and 2-point top link.

Next, if using the 2940-101 compressor, connect the 2940-150 Compressor Power Cable and 2940-166 VDM Power Cable on the 12V power source from the tractor battery. If using the 2940-103, only the 2940-166 VDM Power Cable will be required to be installed on the 12V power source. After cables are properly installed on 12V power source, safely route the power cables to the rear of the tractor in a manner to protect the cables from heat and any pinch points, securing at rear of tractor. The 2940 Air Compressor Assembly requires mounting with access to 12V power from the tractor. Optional power cable extensions are available. Step 2: Visually inspect the proposed mounting location for structural stability and to find signs of wear in that location. Possible obstructions to be aware of include marker arms, liquid fertilizer tanks, rear tires (duals especially) during tight turns, etc… Step 3: Mark out the position of the Compressor then complete a cycle of folding/unfolding to transport mode and raising/lowering of the planter; as well as, driving in a tight circle in one or both directions, in planting position, to verify or identify obstructions. Step 4: Once the compressor is mounted, repeat the previous process very cautiously to once again verify that the compressor is clear of obstructions.

Use the illustration with dimensions to identify possible mounting locations on your specific planter. Both the 2940-101 and 2940-103 require 4” of clearance from each side. (top, bottom, front, back, both sides)

INSTALLING 2940 COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY

2940 AIR COMPRESSOR MOUNTING GUIDE

2940-085 mounting kit is designed for mounting to the 2 point cross hitch on the planter, or require greater elevation of the compressor for clearance reasons.

REFER TO PAGE 77 & 78 FOR PART LIST

The most common mounting location for larger planters will be on the draft bar. Use the 2940-086 mounting kit for situations that require mounting elsewhere on the planter than the hitch. This will allow the compressor to be elevated and set back (or forward) to avoid clearance issue.
