Machine Operation
5. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor ports in a sequence familiar and comfortable to the operator.
Before attaching hoses, move tractor control levers back and forth to relieve any pressure in the tractor hydraulic system.
wARNING
Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate body tissue and result
in death, serious infection, or other injuries. Fluid injected under
skin must be IMMEDIATELY removed by a surgeon familiar with this
type of injury. Make sure connections are tight and hoses and
fittings are not damaged before applying system pressure. Leaks
can be invisible. Keep away from suspected leaks. Relieve pressure
before searching for leaks or performing any system maintenance.
NOTICE
wipe hose ends to remove any dirt before connecting couplers to
tractor ports or contamination may cause equipment failure.
NOTICE
EdgeVac fan motor hydraulic hoses and case drain must
be installed correctly. Motor can be damaged or equipment
will not operate properly.
The vacuum fan motor operation hydraulic hoses are as
follows:
⅜ " hose from motor - Case Drain (CD - Orange or CD - Green)
¾" hose from motor - Return
½" hose to motor - Pressure
NOTE: A Flow Control Needle Valve Kit, to provide a flow
control option for tractors that are not equipped with a
method for fine adjustment of hydraulic flow, is available
from Kinze Repair Parts through your Kinze Dealer.
6. Raise planter slowly and watch for any interference. Remove pin from each parking stand and raise each to the
transport position. Secure stands in raised position with pin in lowest hole.
7. For proper operation of the planter and row units, it is important that the planter frame and row unit parallel arms
be level side-to-side and front-to-rear. The toolbar should operate at a 20"-22" height from planting surface. Tire
pressure must be maintained at pressures specified and toolbar height must be adjusted equally. Check to be sure
planter toolbar is level and at correct operating height. See “Leveling The Planter”.
NOTE: As a general safety practice and to avoid damage to the tractor hydraulic system, always lower the
planter when not in use.
