Transmission Electric Clutch
IMPORTANT
At no time use high pressure water or air to clean the
Electric Clutch as damage could occur.
Clutch characteristics are as follows:
•
The Electric Clutch is controlled by a Touch Screen
Monitor or a Toggle Switch on the Switch Box
mounted to the Tractor.
Brillion Elite Mini Monitor:
Touch Screen Monitor
provides the user the ability to turn the Seeder Clutch
"ON"
or
"OFF"
.
Clutch Switch Box:
Toggle Switch on the Switch
Box, turns the Seeder Clutch to
"SEED"
or
"NO
SEED"
.
Console w/Clutch Control:
Toggle Switch on the
Console, turns the Seeder Clutch to
"SEED"
or
"NO
SEED"
.
•
The Electric Clutch is disengaged when power (12
Volts) is applied. If there is a power failure or electrical
problem, the Seeder will continue to operate, so the
machine must be raised to stop seeding.
•
Seed Shafts will not rotate when the machine is
backed up.
•
The Clutch Switch Box contains a 5 Amp Time-Delay
Fuse.
•
The Electric Clutch must be disengaged (power
applied) when Seed Shafts are turned manually for
Calibration.
•
Check Electric Clutch Operation. The Electric Clutch
will disengage when power is applied. (Clutch will
make a clicking sound). Set Seeder on the ground
and drive a short distance while toggling the Seeder
Clutch to
"ON/SEED"
and
"OFF/NO SEED"
. The
Seed Shaft will stop rotating when Monitor or Toggle
Switch is set to
"OFF/NO SEED"
.
•
Set Monitor or Toggle Switch to
"ON/SEED"
position
when Seeder is not used to shut off power to prevent
possible overheating of Clutch Coil.
Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personal injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands (See
Figure 3-8.) Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.
