Troubleshooting
LIFT CIRCUIT
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Right wing raises faster than left wing. Right wing
may even raise completely before the center
frame and left wing start to raise. If planter is
loaded, the center frame and left wing may not be
able to raise at all. Master cylinder, located on front side of center post, leaking
internally. NOTE: Make sure lift system is completely rephased. Repair master cylinder.
Left wing raises faster than right wing. Left wing
may even raise completely before the center
frame and right wing start to raise. If the planter is
loaded, the center frame and right wing may not
be able to raise at all. Master cylinder, located on rear side of center post, leaking
internally. NOTE: Make sure the lift system is completely
rephased. Repair master cylinder.
Center frame raises, but wings do not. Planter hydraulic circuit out of phase. Usually occurs when the
planter is lowered from transport position.
Solenoid valve in port V16 leaking.
Hold hydraulic control in lowering position to give the hydraulic
circuit more time to rephase.
Replace solenoid valve cartridge.
Center frame continues to raise after wing
cylinders have reached full stroke when going to
raised field position. Solenoid valve in port V16 leaking. Replace solenoid valve cartridge.
Planter raises to raised field position, but does
not raise to transport position. Solenoid valve coil in port V16 is not energized. Be sure control console switch is in “raise” position to energize
solenoid coil in port V16.
Check control console fuse by moving auxiliary switch to ON
position. If red light comes on the fuse is OK. Return auxiliary to
OFF position.
Check for poor wire connection or damaged wire and repair.
Solenoid valve coil is defective. All solenoid valves used on the
planter are the same. Switch the solenoid coil with one you know
is working. If this cures the problem, replace defective coil.
Solenoid valve cartridge in port V16 is stuck closed. All solenoid valves used on the planter are the same. Switch
the solenoid cartridge with one you know is working. If this
cures the problem, replace defective cartridge.
Left wing lowering slower than center frame and
right wing. If hydraulic lever is held in lowering
position, left wing cylinder attempts to extend. Check valve in port V17 leaking internally. Remove check valve in port V17 and inspect for foreign material
in valve and remove if possible. Replace check valve. If above
fails, switch check valve in port V17 with check valve in port V15. If
problem moves or switches to right wing, replace defective check
valve.
Right wing lowering slower than center frame and
left wing. If hydraulic control is held in lowering
position, right wing cylinder attempts to extend. Check valve in port V15 leaking internally. Remove check valve in port V15 and inspect for foreign material
in valve and remove if possible. Replace check valve. If above
fails, switch check valve in port V15 with check valve in port V17. If
problem moves or switches to right wing, replace defective check
valve.
Planter does not raise or raises slowly. Tractor may have hydraulic problem. Switch remote outlets being used.
Repair tractor hydraulics.
Planter may be overloaded with hopper extensions and/or extra
fertilizer tanks, coulters or other non-Kinze attachments. Remove weight.
Center pivot wear pads may be adjusted too tight and are binding
on the post. Adjust pads.
Planter will not rephase. All cylinders not completely retracted. Caused by mechanical
interference on or between planter frame and wheel lift module. Remove interference.
Center cylinders not retracting completely. Lower planter and hold hydraulic lever in lower position to
rephase system. Lower cylinder pins must be free to rotate in this
position. If pins are tight, adjust cylinder clevises.
