M0249-01 Machine Operation Model 3600 6. Connect ASABE Standards 7 terminal connector for safety/warning lights on planter to ASABE Standards receptacle on tractor. If your tractor is not equipped with an ASABE Standards receptacle, check with your tractor manufacturer for availability. Check warning lights on planter work in conjunction with warning lights on tractor. NOTE: A 12 volt battery connection is required to power the vacuum fan digital gauge.
Machine Operation Model 3600 M0249-01 4. Field check planter. Field and actual planting conditions dictate which transport wheel setting to use so row unit parallel arms are parallel with ground. It may be necessary to lower ground drive wheels to ensure level lateral toolbar operation if transport wheels are set in one of the two lower sets of holes. Make a field check when planter is fully loaded with seed, granular chemicals, fertilizer, etc. to be sure wings are level with center frame.
Machine Operation M0249-01 Model 3600 CONTACT WHEEL SPRING ADJUSTMENT 20 cm Spring length measurement (Factory setting) Contact drive springs There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. Spring tension is factory set to approximately 200 lb (90.7 kg) of down force at tire contact point and should require no further adjustment. NOTE: Measurement must be taken in planting position with proper tire pressure.
Model 3600 Machine Operation M0249-01 SEED RATE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT Planting population rate changes are made using seed rate transmissions at each end of planter. Seed rate transmission allows quick and easy sprocket changes to obtain desired planting population. Sprockets are exchanged with those from sprocket storage rod bolted to transmission by removing lynch pins on hexagon shafts.
Machine Operation M0249-01 Model 3600 SHEAR PROTECTION 3∕16" shear pin 3∕16" shear pin Transmission shaft Dry fertilizer attachment transmission Shear pins protect planter driveline and row unit components from damage. 1.

Lubrication and Maintenance M0249-01 Model 3600 LUBRICATION Following pages show locations of all lubrication points. Proper lubrication of moving parts helps ensure efficient operation of your Kinze planter and prolongs the life of friction producing parts. LUBRICATION SYMBOLS Lubricate at frequency indicated with SAE multipurpose grease. Lubricate at frequency indicated with high quality SAE 10 weight oil or spray lubricant.
Lubrication and Maintenance Model 3600 M0249-01 DRIVE CHAINS Lubricate all transmission and drive chains daily with a high quality chain lubricant. Extreme operating conditions such as dirt, temperature, or speed may require more frequent lubrication. If a chain becomes stiff, it should be removed, soaked, and washed in solvent to loosen and remove dirt from joints. Soak chain in oil so lubricant can penetrate between rollers and bushings.
Lubrication and Maintenance M0249-01 Inner wheel module drive chains Model 3600 Dry fertilizer drive chains BUSHINGS Lubricate bushings at frequency indicated. Check each bolt for proper torque. If bolt is loose, removed it and inspect bushing for cracks and wear. Replace bushing if necessary. Use only hardened flat washers. Replace damaged flat washers with proper part. Torque hardware to 130 ft-lb (176.2 N-m).

M0249-01 Lubrication and Maintenance Model 3600 CENTER POST NOTICE Any oil or grease on center post and poly wear pads will attract dirt and accelerate wear. Do not lubricate center post and poly wear pads. Center post is clad with stainless steel. Keep stainless steel surface clean and free of any lubrication to prolong service life. See “Wear Pad Adjustment/Replacement” for more information. Center post U-JOINT SLIDES Lubricate all U-joint slides daily with a high quality lubricant.
Lubrication and Maintenance Model 3600 M0249-01 WHEEL BEARINGS All drive, transport, and marker hub wheel bearings should be repacked annually and checked for wear. 1. Raise wheel off ground. 2. Check for bearing endplay by moving wheel side to side. 3. Rotate wheel to check for bearing roughness. If bearings sound rough, remove hub and inspect bearings. NOTE: To repack wheel hubs, follow procedure outlined for wheel bearing replacement except bearings and bearing cups are reused.

Troubleshooting M0249-01 Model 3600 CLOSING WHEEL POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBLEM 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. Not enough 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. See “V Closing Wheel Adjustment”.
Model 3600 PROBLEM Troubleshooting M0249-01 LIFT CIRCUIT POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Right wing raises faster than left wing. Right wing Master cylinder, located on front side of center post, leaking may even raise completely before the center internally. NOTE: Make sure lift system is completely rephased. frame and left wing start to raise. If planter is loaded, the center frame and left wing may not be able to raise at all. Repair master cylinder. Left wing raises faster than right wing.
Troubleshooting M0249-01 Model 3600 POINT ROW CLUTCH PROBLEM No clutches disengage. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Main fuse blown in control console. Replace defective fuse. Poor terminal connection in wiring harness. Repair or replace. Wiring damage in wiring harness. Repair or replace. Low voltage at coil. (12 volts required) Check battery connections. One section of planter will not re-engage. Shear pin at seed drive transmission(s) sheared. Replace pin with one of equal size and grade.
Troubleshooting Model 3600 M0249-01 ROW MARKER OPERATION PROBLEM Right marker lowering slower than left marker. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Solenoid valve cartridge in port V1 not opening completely. Switch with cartridge in port V2. If problem repeats, replace cartridge. Hose pinched or collapsed. Inspect hose routing. Replace or repair hoses as required. Solenoid valve cartridge in port V2 not opening completely. Switch with cartridge in port V1. If problem repeats, replace cartridge.
Troubleshooting M0249-01 Model 3600 SEED METER (BRUSH-TYPE) PROBLEM Low count. Low count at low RPM and higher count at higher RPM. 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 in 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 being used.
Troubleshooting Model 3600 M0249-01 SEED METER (EDGEVAC) PROBLEM Low seed count. Not planting seed. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Meter RPM too high. Reduce planting rate or planting speed. Singulator brush setting too aggressive. Adjust singulator brush. Vacuum level too low. Increase fan speed. Seed sensor not picking up all seeds dropped. Clean seed tube. Move meter to different row. Seeds sticking to seed disc. Use graphite or talc to aid release. Seed treatment buildup in seed disc recesses.
Troubleshooting M0249-01 Model 3600 SEED METER (EDGEVAC) - Continued PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Not planting seed. (Continued) Seed baffle (If Applicable) not allowing seed flow due to bridging of seed. Thoroughly mix talc to coat all seeds. Remove seed baffle. See “Seed Meter” in Seed Meter Operation/ Maintenance section. 60 cell soybean disc not filling properly due to excessive RPM. Replace with 120 cell soybean disc. High seed count. Wrong transmission setting.
Troubleshooting Model 3600 M0249-01 SEED METER (FINGER PICKUP) PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Drive release not engaged. Foreign material in hopper. Seed hopper empty. Row unit drive chain off of sprocket or broken. Foreign material or obstruction in meter. Unit is skipping. Finger holder improperly adjusted. Broken fingers. Planting too slowly. Planting too fast. Planting too many doubles. Loose finger holder. Worn brush in carrier plate. Worn carrier plate. Overplanting.
M0249-01 Troubleshooting Model 3600 TONGUE CYLINDER CIRCUIT PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION No power to solenoid valve coil in port V10 and/or V14. Both must be energized. Check wiring between control console and solenoid coils looking for damaged wires and poor connections. Solenoid valve coil defective. Switch coil from port V13 with V10. If tongue still will not extend, switch coil from V14 with V13. It will not be necessary to remove any of the wire connections to the solenoid.
