Fan Circuit Operation
Three hydraulic hoses serve the fan, and must be
properly connected
a
for the fan to operate in the correct
direction , at recommended speeds, and without
damage. See “
1. Always connect the case drain line first.
This line protects the outer shaft seal of the hydraulic
motor. The case drain is a small line to the hitch,
provisioned with a specialized low-seep flat-face
case drain Quick Disconnect. Pressure spikes during
motor operation, and pressure cycles due to
temperature change are bled off by the case drain.
Motor Seal Damage Hazard:
Do not apply pressure to the case drain line. Do not change
the special QD connector. A restricted or sealed case drain
line will promptly result in motor seal damage.
2. Connect the motor return line second, to sump.
The product includes an 1

inch low
back-pressure QD coupler set. Install the receptacle
on a tractor sump port, and not at a normal remote
return port. The unusual size aids in ensuring correct
connection, so that the motor return line handles
high volume at low back-pressure, ensuring full
motor performance.
3. Connect the motor inlet line to a tractor remote
capable of the flow rates shown at “
4. The fan hydraulic circuit includes a check valve ,
which provides a relief path for oil at motor shutoff.
If fan pressure and return hoses are reversed, the
resulting low fan rpm provides strong indication of
bypass flow through the check valve.
Correct fan direction is shown at . If reversed fan is
suspected, observe it during shutoff, as the direction
of motion is easier to see at lower rpms as it slows to
a stop (initial startup is virtually instantaneous,
making observation at start difficult).
Fan speed is controlled by the tractor circuit (and not the
seed monitor). Fan rpm is reported by the seed monitor.
You may stop the fan by setting the circuit to neutral or
float. The check valve slows the blades to a stop by
locally recirculating the oil.
a. Fan hose connections are made only if no PTO pump is installed. With PTO, the connections are made once when the kit is installed.

If the fan is connected in reverse, it may not run at all (due to
no oil source at the return connection). If oil is present, oil
bypass at the check valve
prevents the fan from reaching
operating rpms. A reversed fan is incapable of providing
sufficient air flow for planting.
