NOTE Whether filling or unloading the Aircart, the auger performs at its highest capacity when product is falling directly into the flighting. 3. Use either of the buttons located at the top and bottom of the conveyor to start and stop the conveyor Conveyor Position for Unloading Aircart 1. Using the remote, rotate the conveyor hopper under any of the Aircart compartments in order to empty them. 2. Loosen the cross thumb-nuts on the cleanout gate, and slide it up to allow product to fall between the airstream tubes. 3. Once emptied, the bottom airstream door can be removed for complete cleanout below the meter. 37

44 4.5.4 Conveyor Transport Position 1. Latch down the conveyor hopper then fold it up on top of the conveyor tube. Be sure to secure it with the tie down strap supplied. 2. Arrange the conveyor so that the upper rest is positioned on the conveyor saddle at the front of the Aircart. 3. Raise the locking mechanism at the rear of the Aircart. The handle can be unlocked and swung towards the Aircart for transport 4. Ensure to place pin back into locking mechanism so that it cannot disengage during transportation. 5. Push conveyor diverter valve back to the fan position. Move hydraulics in both directions to relieve pressure. This relieves the tilt cylinder so that it is not applying unnecessary force on the support arms. NOTE Fill conveyor should always be secured for transport, no matter how short the distance. Clean out conveyor prior to transport or storage. 6. Secure outer arm locking mechanism. Again ensure to replace pin so that lock does not disengage during transportation. 38

45 4.6 Bag Lift If equipped, the optional bag lift can be used for transporting bagged agricultural product from the ground to the top of the air cart. The bag lift has a maximum capacity of 500 lbs. or ten bags of canola (50 lb. bags). The bag lift runs off the same hydraulic circuit as the auger or conveyor. To operate the bag lift the diverter valve must be switched to the auger or conveyor setting. After loading the bag lift use the valve located at the front of the cart to operate the hydraulic cylinder. Raise the bag lift to the uppermost position to unload from the catwalk. The bag lift remains in the uppermost position for transport and storage. WARNING! Do not transport people using the bag lift, serious injury may occur. 39

46 4.7 Metering Roller The metering roller is provided in each compartment. The roller is divided into replaceable sections which can be replaced if damage occurs. If there is a damaged section the product gate above the roller can be closed to facilitate changing without emptying the tank. The meter roller can then be removed and repaired, quickly, without product spillage. NOTE Ensure roller gate is reopened to commence seeding. Some meters have two colored roller sections. The red sections have less displacement than the black sections. When a machine s air distribution system has tower heads with different outlets the heads with the lower number of outlets are fed by red roller sections to ensure even distribution Meter Roller Types There are four different roller section types: canola, helical, straight fluted (bean) and chick pea. The helical roller section is designed to accommodate the majority of seeding products including small oil seeds, cereals, and granular fertilizer. The straight fluted (bean) roller is used for small pulses and granular fertilizer. The chick pea roller should only be used for very large pulses such as garbanzo beans. 40

47 4.7.2 Meter Roller Selection Guide Product Fertilizer Canola Tube Roller Helical Roller Bean Roller Chick Pea Roller Barley Canola Lentils Field Peas Large Beans Large Peas Wheat Inoculants 4.8 Fans Connect the pair of 3/4 in. hydraulic lines (fan one has a blue band, fan two has a red band) to supply the hydraulically driven fan motor. This tractor lever is locked in full pressure position while seeding. NOTE If Aircart is equipped with two fans, if one fan is not being used, it must be ran at low rpm due to pressurization of meters. Fans are driven by hydraulic motors with speed controlled by the tractor hydraulic flow system. Fan speed is indicated on the monitor panel in the cab. Set fan speed to effectively transport the seed. Higher fan speeds will increase seed bounce, and possibly damage the seed. Higher fan speeds also require more power input from the tractor. Typical fan speed ranges for various product types are listed below for reference. It is recommended that the user calibrate fan speed manually. NOTE Fan Speed is dependent on implement size and tractor hydraulic output. Product Fan Speed (rpm) Oilseeds Cereals Pulse Crops Fertilizer (granular)

48 IMPORTANT! Recommended fan speeds are based on multiple variables. The user should always perform a product flow check to accurately calibrate fan speeds for every product. Fan Circuit Single Fan Dual Fan Flow Rate (Continuous - Seeding) 9-13 gal/min (35-50 L/min) gal/min (68-90 L/min) 4.9 Calibrating Fan Speed The test procedure outlined below serves as a guideline for ensuring proper fan speed for effective delivery of product: 1. Remove hose(s) from an outside opener and temporarily attach to the frame of the seeder with the hose looping no more than 12 in. (300mm) below the frame. 2. Begin seeding at normal field speed and observe distance product discharges from hose(s) attached to the frame. All product should discharge within a range of in. ( mm). 3. Adjust fan speed, if necessary, to ensure optimum air flow for product discharge. DO NOT set fan speed above 4000 rpm. Excessive fan speed will damage the fan drive motor and requires more power from the tractor hydraulic system. 42

49 4.10 Seed Hawk Pressurized Metering System With the Seed Hawk pressurized metering system product can be diverted to either air stream. This gives the Aircart ultimate flexibility by allowing the option of diverting any product to either the seed knife or the fertilizer knife. To change the air stream that a meter will deliver product to, adjust the diverter valve on the side of the meter body. NOTE This meter is only designed to send product into one air stream at a time. Seed Hawk takes no responsibility for damage and cannot guarantee acceptable seeding performance if the diverter valve is set in between air streams. 43

73 5.9 Troubleshooting Loup III System MUX Sensor is not recognized at power up. This will include the ground speed, fan, and bin level sensors Possible causes: Harness wiring is faulty or the sensor is defective. Solution: With the system turned on, go the sensor that is not communicating. There is a LED on each sensor (except the multilevel bin sensor). If it is flashing slowly (1 flash every 2-3 seconds) that indicates that power and ground are connected but the sensor wire is not. The power wire (+12 volts ) is the white wire. and is in the "A" position on the connector. The Ground wire is black and is in the "B" position on the connector. The sensor wire is the green wire and is in the "C" position on the connector. If the LED is not flashing, unplug the sensor from the harness and plug it back in. If the LED lights momentarily, power is present and the sensor is faulty. If the LED does not light at all check power at the connector. You should measure 12 volts between the white and black wire. If you do, the sensor is faulty, if you don t the harness is faulty. All the white wires on the MUX harness are connected in parallel, all the black wires are in parallel, and all the green wires are in parallel.

77 6.0 Hydraulic Drive All Loup and Viper Pro Aircarts are equipped with hydraulically driven meters. These motors have a maximum speed of 113 rpm and a minimum speed of 2 rpm. Speeds in excess of the maximum may result in premature wear or failure of the motors. Reducing the rotational speeds of the motor below 2 rpm may result in erratic metering which may affect the seeding rate. Each hydraulic motor requires a flow rate of 1.0 gal/min (3.8 L/min). The maximum torque output is 26 ft-lbs (35.3 N m). The maximum inlet pressure of the hydraulic motors is 1500 psi. The inlet pressure is regulated by a pressure reducing valve which will be discussed in Section Roller Changing Procedure NOTE If the tanks contain product ensure to shut the gates before changing the meter roller. 1. Remove the two flange nuts holding the hydraulic motor mount to the meter body, the lynch pin on the roller shaft and the hydraulic motor spacer. 2. Slide the hydraulic motor mount assembly off of the roller spindle, and remove the spur gear from the agitator shaft (also fastened by a lynch pin) NOTE Installing a roller is often easier with the front cleanout door removed. This reduces the chance of the roller binding on any residual product that remains below the product gates after they have been shut. 3. The roller is now free to be slid out for the replacement of a roller section or an entirely new roller 4. To re-install the hydraulic drive assembly, simply repeat the steps in reverse. Mount the agitator spur gear. Replace the hydraulic motor and hydraulic motor mount. Tighten the flange nuts back onto the meter body. Replace hydraulic motor spacer and lynch pin onto roller shaft. 6.2 Filter & Pressure Reducing Valve This hydraulic oil filter and reducing valve are placed in-line with the hydraulic motors. Both are located at the front of the Aircart near the auger/conveyor diverter valve. 71

78 6.2.1 Hydraulic Oil Filter The filter is equipped with a blockage indicator which displays a red band when a pressure differential greater than 5 bar (72.5 psi) occurs. Note that low oil temperatures may give false blockage indication. To reset the blockage indicator press the plastic cover at the top of the indicator. The filter cartridge (Part Number: ) should be replaced after the first 50 hours of operation, then yearly or when the blockage indicator displays a the red band too frequently Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) The PRV is mounted directly following the oil filter. This PRV is used to lower the hydraulic pressure entering the motors to 1500 psi. To adjust the PRV loosen the nut at the top of the PRV. Then using an allen key, adjust the screw until the gauge reads 1500 psi. Tighten the nut at the top of the PRV. 72

79 6.3 Remote Calibration Viper Pro Hydraulic Drive Calibration ATTENTION! Exit to the Seed Hawk Viper Pro Main Menu on the Viper monitor before powering up the Remote Calibration Console. 73

80 Pre-Calibration Setup Measure and record the weight of the empty calibration bucket. Calibration Bucket Weight: If operating an SCT equipped machine, ensure meter gates are fully open for proper product flow. 1. Remove the plate on the bottom of the meter and place the calibration under the meter as shown. 2. Turn the diverter valve to the lower air stream position for calibration (return to proper position after calibration is complete) Viper Pro Calibration ATTENTION! Before a meter calibration can be done, the implement width must be entered and the speed calibration must be completed (refer to the Section Setup Wizard and Calculating the speed Calibration sections of your Seed Hawk Viper Pro Manual). Exit to the Seed Hawk Viper Pro Main Menu on the Viper monitor before powering up the Remote Calibration Console. To begin the remote calibration of the meters mount the remote calibration console on the ram-ball and attach the electrical connector. Turn the console on using the blue Power Key. NOTE For convenient calibration, use the remote calibration console that attaches to the tank harness. 74

81 NOTE It is important to calibrate as close to the actual seeding rpm of the roller as possible. Refer to Section 6.4 for the Meter RPM Chart, to get an approximate roller rpm for the specific roller and drill width. 1. After turning on the remote calibration console, the bin selection screen is displayed. Using the Soft Keys select the bin which corresponds to meter to be calibrated and select "ENTER" using the white Soft Keys. 2. Press the Soft Key labeled "BEGIN" to start the calibration process. 3. The meter needs to be primed before calibration begins to ensure full product flow during calibration. Select "PRIME METER ROLLER" to prime the meter and press the Soft Key labeled "ENTER." 75

82 4. Press the Soft Key labeled "INC" to increase the PWM output this will increase the speed of the roller. Use the Soft Keys labeled "INC" and "DEC" to achieve the desired roller rpm. Check the rpm Chart to get an approximate roller rpm during seeding. Once the meter is primed (at least 2 revolutions) press the Soft Key labeled "STOP." Empty the product caught and reposition the calibration bucket under the meter. 5. Select the desired meter to calibrate and press the Soft Key labeled "ENTER", this will cause the roller to turn at the same rpms set in the Prime step. 6. Once a sample is collected (the larger the sample the more accurate the calibration) press the Soft Key labeled "END" to stop the roller. 76

83 7. Weigh the filled calibration bucket, enter the weight of the product caught. Toggle the Left and Right Soft Keys moving the arrow under the desired digit to edit, press the Soft Key labeled "ENTER" to modify the digit. Toggle between "INC" and "DEC" to change the digit value. 8. Once the weight is entered, toggle to the right until "SEND" appears. Press the Soft Key labeled "SEND" by pressing the corresponding Soft Key to save the calibration number to the Viper Pro. Repeat the steps for the remaining meters. NOTE DO NOT leave the Remote tank calibration console attached to the tank exposed to the weather. Refer to the Calibration Guide for alternative tips and recommendations for calibrating the Aircart Meters. Information is instantly sent to the Seed Hawk Viper Pro monitor. After all meters are calibrated, power down the Remote tank calibration console and disconnect from tank harness. It is recommended to repeat the calibration to avoid operator error. To turn off remote calibration console, press and hold the blue Power Key until the monitor powers down. ATTENTION! DO NOT include the weight of the calibration bucket in the metered weight value.

86 7.2 Hydraulic Hoses Proper maintenance of hydraulic hoses can lead to a longer service life for the part, as well as serves as an important safety measure against component failure. Hydraulic systems operate at high pressures and temperatures that can cause serious injury. Regular maintenance and inspection of hydraulic hoses can greatly reduce the chance of accidental failure. Refer to Section 2.5 Hydraulic Safety page 11 for precautions before conducting maintenance on hydraulic hoses. DANGER! Never attempt to service or inspect hydraulic hoses while the system is active and pressurized. Hose failure causes high-pressure oil jets that can pierce skin and cause severe burns. Always wear proper protective equipment when performing any type of service to hydraulic systems. 7.3 Storage Prior to storage remove all product from tanks, meters, and fill auger (or conveyor). Also, ensure that the meters are thoroughly vacuumed or washed. If the Aircart is washed be sure to dry the system out afterwards by opening the lids and running the fans for 30 minutes. This will prevent damage occurring from ice buildup, and prevent product sticking to wet components which creates blockages. NOTE Failure to remove product prior to storage will greatly increase the rate of corrosion in the tanks and meter. When stored outside tightly cover the fans to seal water out of the airstreams. The service life of the Aircart seals can be extended by unlatching the lids and loosening the thumb nuts on the cleanout doors. 80
