SECTION 9 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
From the collection tank, air is sent to the
Air Bags as needed to maintain a level
pressure. Control valves open and close to
allow air in.
•
Inspect the Air Dryer cartridge every 50
hours of operation to ensure that it is
purging with compressor load. Change
the cartridge every 1,000 hours of opera-
tion, or as needed.
•
Inspect Air Bags daily for leaks and/or
cracking. If an Air Bag is low, check the
bag for any punctures or leaks.
Contact your local John Deere dealer if
assistance is needed.
Air Tanks
Your machine may be equipped with two
Air Tanks. The
Main Air Tank - standard
(located beneath platform on the left-hand
side of machine) provides a volume of
compressed air to give faster response for
changes in air volume to the air bags.
The
Air Purge Tank - if equipped
(located beneath platform near center of
machine) is used to push solution out of the
boom line, reducing the amount of rinse
water needed to clean the solution system of
chemical.
•
Drain each Air Tank daily by slowly
releasing the Tank Drain Valve.
NOTE: Check for moisture. If excessive
moisture is in the tank(s), there may
be a system malfunction. Contact
your local John Deere dealer if
assistance is needed.
