Lubrication and Maintenance
Drain reservoir, clean strainer and change filter annually.
1. Disconnect suction line (hose between reservoir and pump) from reservoir and drain. To fully drain tank, raise
planter to field raised position.
2. Replace filter with good quality 10 micron filter.
3. Fill system with SAE 10W-20 multigrade wide temperature range transmission hydraulic fluid. Reservoir capacity
is approximately 10 gallons.
4. Start system and run with tractor at idle and fan turned off for 1-2 minutes. Switch fan to full speed and run with
tractor at idle for 1-2 minutes.
5. Check reservoir fluid level and fill as required. Hydraulic fluid level should be within 1"-2" from top of reservoir after
pump has run and hydraulic hoses have been primed to allow fluid to expand when heated.
6. Bring tractor to PTO speed and adjust flow control to the desired vacuum level using the flow control valve lever.
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
(In valve block below vacuum fan motor assembly)
Check valve return prevents reverse operation of vacuum fan motor. Remove and check
for foreign material or if O-ring is leaking internally. Clean or replace if defective.
RELIEF VALVE CARTRIDGE INSPECTION
(In valve block below vacuum fan motor assembly)
NOTICE
Connect hydraulic motor case drain to a case drain return line with zero pressure
on tractor or hydraulic motor will be damaged. DO NOT connect hydraulic motor
case drain to SCV outlet. Contact tractor manufacturer for specific details on
“zero pressure return”.
Pressure relief valve helps prevent damage to vacuum fan motor by limiting pressure
in motor case drain line. It is set to open at 35 PSI (241.21 kPa). Remove and check
for foreign material and contamination on valve or seating area of valve body. Clean or
replace if defective.
