Machine Operation
Kinze vacuum meter seed metering system includes seed meters, seed discs, and an air system consisting of a
hydraulic driven vacuum fan which draws air through manifolds, hoses, and seed meters on each row unit.
WARNING
Moving fan blades can cause amputation or severe injury. Never
operate vacuum fan with cover removed.
Analog vacuum or pressure gauge connects directly to vacuum
meter (vacuum) or bulk fill (pressure) manifold and is teed into
digital sending units.
Only adjustment is to “zero” needle with no vacuum or
pressure present. If there is a significant difference between
gauge and a reading taken at meters, a different manifold
location should be found to connect hose to gauge and digital
sending unit.

readout is erratic or appears inaccurate.
