SOLenOid vaLve
Solenoid valve consists of a chambered body with an electric coil actuated cartridge
valve.
If solenoid or solenoids fail to operate, first determine if problem is electrical or
hydraulic. If valve is working properly, a click will be heard when solenoid coil is
energized and valve stem opens. If no sound is heard, check solenoid coil by touching
top of coil housing with a metallic object such as a pliers or screwdriver. If coil is
working properly, coil housing will be strongly magnetized when energized. If voltage
to coil is low it will be weakly magnetized when energized and no click will be heard.

Chain TenSiOn adJUSTMenT
Most drive chains have a spring loaded idler and are self-adjusting. The only adjustment needed is to shorten chain if
wear stretches chain and reduces spring tension. Check idler pivot point periodically to ensure they rotate freely.
On chains with slotted idlers for adjustment, adjust so chain has ¼" or less sag at longest span. See ‘‘Wrap Spring
Wrench Assembly’’ for additional information.
Additional chain links can be found in the storage area located at end of planter frame on inboard side of transport
hook.
