HOSES
When installing hoses, first measure them. Leave some
slack for folding and hose equalization and then cut and
install. Refer to the air package assembly manuals for
more detailed information on hose layout and assembly.
Primary Hoses - the 2 1/2" hoses (1) that run from the air
cart manifold to the headers on the implement.
When assembling an air pack, the longest hoses should run
from the inner section of the manifold (on the air cart) to
the outside headers on the implement. The length of the
hoses should be roughly equal, so there is even product
delivery. Primary hoses should be left slack and loosely
coiled to have even lengths. Hoses should be crossed at
the hitch connection so the hoses are not overlapping on
the implement.
Secondary Hoses
- the 1" hoses (1) that run from the
header (2) to the openers.
When assembled, the hoses should be similar in length.
The longest hoses lead to the opener farthest away. Hoses
should be spiraled and gently sloped to the opener; avoid
having sharp bends in the hoses.
Attaching Secondary Hoses to Headers
- Secondary hoses
can be removed by twisting the clamp, pushing one side
towards the center of the manifold and pulling the other
tab back. This will release the clamps that hold the
secondary hoses in the manifold ports. Reattach hoses to
the header by squeezing the ends of the clamp together.
Headers
- headers need to be inspected for blockage.
Remove tops (1) for inspection. Check for wear.
