Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor, air cart and
drill for use. Before using the air cart in the field, you
must hitch the air cart to a suitable tractor, compatible
drill, and also setup the drill.
Pre-Setup Checklist
1. Read and understand “Important Safety
Information” on page 1.
2. Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts
are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
3. Check that all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated. See “Lubrication and Scheduled
Maintenance” on page 80.
4. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
See “Safety Decals” on page 6.
5. Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten
wheel bolts as specified. “Appendix” on page 87.
Installing Seed Monitor Terminal
The ADC2350/E and ADC2350B/BE cart standard seed
monitor system includes a virtual terminal that must be
mounted in the tractor cab. The kit includes an “H”
bracket for any modules, and a ball swivel for mounting
the bracket in the tractor.
Mount the modules so that they are easy to observe during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.
The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.
See the DICKEY-john
®
manual for harness connections.
The monitor needs to be configured with information
about your air drill, after hitching and electrical
connections. See “Setup Seed Monitor for Air Drill” on
page 29.
Once configured for your drill and your material, the seed
monitor performs the following functions:
On the Implement:
• Implement lift switch monitoring
• Fold function control (on some drill models)
• Seed flow blockage detection (optional)
On the Air Cart:
• Fan Speed monitoring
• Hopper material level monitoring
• Hopper air pressure monitoring
• Meter rate monitoring (seed rate control, optional)
• Ground speed monitoring
