Troubleshooting M0188-01 Model 3000 Closing Wheel Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Closing wheel(s) leave severe imprint in soil. Too much closing wheel down pressure. Adjust closing wheel pressure. Closing wheel(s) not firming soil around seed. Insufficient closing wheel down pressure. Adjust closing wheel pressure. Severe no till conditions may require use of cast iron closing wheels. “V” closing wheel running on top of seed furrow. Improper centering. Align.
Troubleshooting Model 3000 M0188-01 KPM III Electronic Seed Monitor Troubleshooting PROBLEM Single sensor communication alarm comes on. Sensor communication alarms come on for all sensors. Sensor communication alarms come on for some sensors. Faulty monitor values (such as speed, area, etc.) displayed. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Faulty seed tube sensor. Replace sensor. Break in harness just before seed tube sensor. Inspect for break in harness and repair.
M0188-01 Troubleshooting Model 3000 Lift Circuit Operation Troubleshooting PROBLEM Planter raising uneven. Planter raising even; however, planter settles when hydraulic lever is released. POSSIBLE CAUSE TROUBLESHOOTING* SOLUTION Master cylinder leaking. Raise planter slowly until master cylinder reaches end of stroke. If master cylinder is leaking it will lag behind the slave cylinder, causing the tire to squat less. If planter settles when hydraulic lever is released, check assist cylinders.
Model 3000 Troubleshooting M0188-01 Piston Pump Troubleshooting PROBLEM Pump hard or impossible to prime. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Valves fouled or in wrong place. Inspect and clean valves. Air leak in suction line. Repair leak. Pump set too low. Adjust pump setting. Packing washers worn out. Replace. Valves fouled or in wrong place. Inspect and clean valves. Air leak in suction line. Repair leak. Pump set too low. Adjust pump setting. Broken valve spring. Replace spring.
Troubleshooting M0188-01 Model 3000 Row Marker Operation Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Inadequate oil flow to sequencing valve. Most commonly associated with single valve system (lift and markers on same remote). TEST: Raise planter and install transport lockups. Attempt to raise and lower planter. All hydraulic oil will be directed to markers. If markers function properly, the sequence valve is OK. Adjust marker speed so planter is up before marker arm is completely up.
Troubleshooting Model 3000 M0188-01 Seed Meter (Brush-Type) Troubleshooting PROBLEM Low count. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Meter RPM too high. Reduce planting speed. Seed sensor not picking up all seeds dropped. Clean seed tube. Switch meter to different row. If problem stays with same row, replace sensor. Lack of lubrication causing seeds not to release from disc properly. Use graphite or talc as recommended. Seed size too large for seed disc. Switch to smaller seed or appropriate seed disc.
Troubleshooting M0188-01 Model 3000 Seed Meter (Finger Pickup) Troubleshooting PROBLEM One row not planting seed. POSSIBLE CAUSE Drive release not engaged. Foreign material in hopper. Seed hopper empty. Row unit drive chain off of sprocket or broken. Drive release does not engage Drive release shaft is not aligned properly. properly with meter drive shaft. Unit is skipping. Foreign material or obstruction in meter. Finger holder improperly adjusted. Broken fingers. Planting too slowly.
