128. Find the Clutch Layout for your planter model (these
are on page 48 through page 132).

ports are numbered 1-4 on the top cover.
Refer to Figure 20
129. Locate the next available port of the valve
block .
130. Identify which air clutches are served by that port,
and which clutch is the furthest from the port.
Refer to Figure 21
131. Locate the clutch cylinder to be connected.
132. Select a spool of:
990-109R TUBE NYLON 1/4OD X 062WL
and one:
830-383C CP 1/4 PUSH LOK POLY
133. Route the tubing from the clutch to the valve
port, passing near each served row clutch. Remain
clear of moving parts. allow enough slack to dress
the tubing against the rear top corner of the tool bar,
and avoid kinking at turns.
Pull the white polymer or metal collars away
from the fitting body. Insert the valve tubing and
clutch tubing . Push together. Re-seat collars.
134. At the clutch cylinder, cut the tubing to length. Pull
up collar. Insert tubing. Push together.
135. If the valve port serves more than one clutch, select
one tee for each additional served clutch:
830-405C TE POLY 1/4 PUSH LOCK
Cut the tubing just installed, directly above a served
clutch. Insert a tee . Cut a length of fresh
tubing to run from the tee to the clutch.
Make the connection.
136. Repeat step 129 through step 135 for all used valve
ports and row clutches.
Tubing Damage Risk:
At section divisions, route the tubing with the existing air hose
and harness bundle, as these pass through a pivot point,
eliminating pull-out risk and minimizing tubing flex. Routing
tubing directly across a wing gap will result in tubing damage
during operation.
