Air System Adjustments
There are two adjustments for the air system:
1. Fan rpm (this page),
which controls manifold air pressure, hopper air
pressure, and material delivery velocity.
2. Inlet Manifold Diverter angle (page 84),
which controls the balance of air flow to each meter
on dual-hopper drills (whether single- or double-
shoot). This adjustment is not present on single-hop-
per drills.
There is no direct adjustment for hopper pressure. The
table figures are included for setting alarm limits in the
seed monitor. If a pressure alarm occurs, do not adjust
the fan or diverter to compensate. The cause is usually a
leak or a major blockage.
Fan Speed Suggestions
The specific fan rpm required varies considerably with
drill configuration, material density, application rate, field
speed and material properties. Develop and record set-
tings that are suitable for your operations.
Machine Damage Risk:
Always engage the fan with the tractor at a low engine speed.
Engaging the fan when the tractor is at high speed may cause
fan damage. Do not reverse hydraulic flow with the fan run-
ning.
At ideal fan speed:
flow is more than high enough to avoid blockages
(from both meters on dual-hopper drills),
flow is even across all hoses from each meter; and,
flow is low enough to minimize seed cracking and
bounce.
Fan speed is monitored and reported by the seed moni-
tor, but is manually controlled.
If the fan cannot reach 3000 rpm, one or more hoses
may be mis-connected. Air moves toward the air box in
either rotation direction, but reverse spinning airflow is
too low to operate the system.
If the fan is operating properly, and at desired rpms, and
the diverter is correctly adjusted, but the pressure gauge
is out of limits, see “Magnehelic® Gauge Trouble-
shooting” on page 103.
