INTRODUCTION
The Yetter 2940-106 Hydraulic Air Compressor converts hydraulic power into compressed air.
Yetter Hydraulic Compressor units are durably constructed and designed for easy integration to
operate the Yetter 2940 Air Adjust System. IF USING THIS COMPRESSOR TO SUPPLY AIR
TO OPERATE ANOTHER SYSTEM, INSTALL A REGULATOR PRIOR TO AIR ENTERING
THAT SYSTEM WITH PROPER REGULATED AIR SETTINGS RECOMMENDED BY OEM
PRODUCT.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
-The 2940-106 Hydraulic Air Compressor requires 4 gallons per minute maximum
hydraulic flow to operate.
-Lubrication of the pump requires a Grade 111 synthetic or a PAO synthetic compressor
oil. THE PUMP IS SHIPPED EMPTY AND NEEDS OIL BEFORE OPERATING!!!
-Hydraulic oil flow is required to operate the 2940-106 hydraulic compressor’s hydraulic motor.
Different variables will determine the best way to connect into a hydraulic circuit to power the
hydraulic motor. Connecting directly to SCV, teeing into the planter frame
lift/lowering circuit, or teeing into the bulk tank blower circuit are ways of powering the
compressor. Check OEM tractor and planter manual for hydraulic gpm output to make sure
an adequate source is selected.
-Case Drain connection is required to carry the motor case internal leakage directly to
the tractor hydraulic reservoir (sump) with zero pressure. This oil serves to lubricate
and cool motor components not directly exposed to the working oil. It is normal to
have seepage from this fitting when disconnected from the tractor to protect the motor seals
from thermal expansion. If the tractor is not equipped with a female flat face case drain
coupler, then one must be sourced through a dealer or hydraulic supplier.

Mounting bolts and hardware
BOLT TORQUE
Before operating the Yetter Hydraulic Compressor for the first time, check to be sure that all hardware is
tight. Check all hardware again after approximately 50 hours of operation and at the beginning of each
planting season.
All hardware used on the Yetter Hydraulic Compressor is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap
screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace
it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type. Refer to the torque values chart when tightening
hardware.
Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when under
tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can reduce its shock load
capacity.
The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual. Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater
bar, times the length of the handle or bar. Use a torque wrench whenever possible.
The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.
Lubricate all bearings and moving parts as assembled and make certain that they work freely.
WARNING: Never work around the toolbar/implement while in a raised position without using
safety lockups.
CAUTION: The Residue manager attachments are very heavy. Pay extra attention to lifting
techniques while handling and or maneuvering the opener during assembly. Failure to do so
may lead to personal injury.

Hydraulic Fittings Identification Chart
-Due to common threads, mismatching can happen and could result in leaks and pressure loss
-Be sure to verify which style and use dash sizes when ordering replacement parts
-NPTF is easily recognizable and looks like regular pipe threads. It is not recommended for hydraulic systems
but does exist on some agriculture equipment
-SAE ORB is recommended by the NFPA for optimal leakage control in medium and high pressure hydraulic systems. The male fitting has a straight thread and O-ring. The female port has a straight thread, a machined surface (minimum
spotface) and a chamfer to accept the O-ring. The seal takes place by compressing the O-ring in the chamfer. The
threads hold the connection mechanically.
-JIC 37 Degree Flare fittings have a 37° cone seat on the female adapter and a 37° flare on the male adapter. This cone seat and flare allows for a complete mechanical seal between the male and female fitting. Teflon tape on threads is not
required.
-ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) adapter fittings use a straight thread and have a machined groove in the face of the male fitting to accept the O-ring. This O-ring is compressed against the flat face of the female fitting for a leak proof
connection. ORFS are one of the newest types of hydraulic fittings.

Quick Start Guide
Step 1: Preparing Hydraulic Compressor for Installation
After removing the hydraulic compressor from the shipping crate, remove cap from elbow fitting
and install air filter assembly securely. Next, remove screen on housing on the side of the sight
glass(same side as pressure gauge) and fill compressor pump with oil until oil is in middle of
sight glass. See page 16 for further information on filter installment and oil filling.
Step 2: Hydraulic Compressor Installation
Begin the installation process by finding a safe location to mount the 2940-106 hydraulic
compressor on the planter. Placement will vary depending on make and model of your planter.
The 2940-085 kit is for mounting on a 2 point hitch. The 2940-086 is a universal mount or can
be used for mounting on the draft tube. The 2940-090 kit is for mounting to a 8”X12” bar and the
2940-091 to mount to a 8”X16” bar. In some situations, a mounting bracket may need to be
built. See page 10 for more detailed information on hydraulic compressor installation.
Step 3: Hydraulic Connection
In order to operate the hydraulic compressor, a connection to a hydraulic circuit must be made.
The 2 most common places to tie into a hydraulic circuit are at the rear of the tractor at an open
SCV port or teeing into the frame lift/CCS circuit on a John Deere set up. CNH planters must
use an open SCV port on the tractor for the hydraulic connection. Never use a PTO driven hydraulic pump circuit or Bulk Fill blower circuit on a CNH planter. The case drain will also
need to be connected. See page 12 for more detailed information on making the proper
connection to fit your situation.
Step 4: Communication Harness Installation
Communication between the 2940-103 pneumatic controller and the 2940-106 hydraulic
compressor happen by installing a series of harnesses. The 2940-106 should have a Y harness,
one end plugging into the 2 pin hydraulic on/off valve connector, one end plugging into the 2 pin
pressure switch connector, and the other end (4 pin connector) connects to the 2940-182 or
2940-189 and routes to the connector coming out of the 2940-103. See page 13 for more
detailed information.
Step 5: Plumbing Air Line
Using a 250psi rated 3/8” air line (Yetter part number 2940-367), route line safely from 3/8” PTC
fitting on water trap side(not regulator side) of the 2940-415 water separator assembly to the
3/8” PTC output elbow fitting (labeled C on page 6) of the hydraulic compressor. Use 2565-773
air adjust manual for row unit installation and other airline plumbing and electrical harness
routing. See page 14 for more detailed information.
