Electric Clutch Operation

A clutch enables or disables groups of row units. The
standard YP2425A planter has three clutches in the
seed meter drive system.

The standard clutch system is strictly operator controlled.
Monitor control of sections requires the optional Swath
Command™ system (page 40).

The switches Left

/ Center

/ Right

correspond to

the left wing row units, center section row units and right
wing row units respectively. The data in the table below is
normally preset at the factory for your planter
configuration.

The Master

switch controls all row units, regardless of

drive type. For all switches, “OFF” (down) removes power
from the clutch, disengaging that set of row units. When
any switch (plus Master) is ON, the LED for that switch
illuminates steadily.

Electric Clutch Lock-Up

In case of electric clutch failure, an electric clutch can be
mechanically engaged.

Refer to Figure 46 and Figure 47
1.

Remove the rubber plugs

from the oil shield

disc

to allow access to the lock-up holes. Plugs

simply push out away from the clutch side.

2.

Align the cutouts

with the holes

. If you observe

half the hole obstructed by a metal disc

, you are

not at a cutout. If the entire hole is obstructed by a
metal disc

, you are not at a cutout.

3.

Insert the M8-1.25x14mm long metric bolts

. When

at a cutout, the bolt seats with minimal resistance
until the bolt head reaches the clutch face.

4.

Re-install the plugs so they are not lost.

Note: Use only the provided 14mm length bolts. Longer

bolts will damage the clutch. Shorter bolts may not
effect a lock-up.
