Daily Checklist
(To be carried out daily before using the Air Seeder)
The following checklist is essentially the same for all
Simplicity Air Seeders. It should be followed after the initial
installation of the air seeder is completed then on a daily
basis.
 Periodically check wheel nut tension throughout the
first days after delivery until wheel nut tension is
maintained.
 Ensure all hydraulic lines are correctly coupled at all
breakaway connections.
 Check all shafts are turning freely.
 Check heat exchanger is free of material build up.
 Start blower and check for any oil leaks from
hydraulic lines to the blower and return lines to the
tractor.
 While observing the air pressure readout on the
monitor, run the blower up to operating pressure.
 Ensure all bin lids are closed and sealed. Bin lid
sealing can be checked by feeling around the lid seals
for air discharge
 Check that the bottom swing away calibration doors
are closed and sealed. Sealing can also be checked
by feeling around the door seals for air discharge.
 Using the large calibration handle, turn the
calibration shaft a few times while blower is
operating and check that seed and fertiliser is being
delivered to each boot. If not, check for obstructions,
kinked hoses etc.
 Check that the electric clutch is working by switching
the clutch on and off, and checking that the clutch is
engaging and disengaging.
 Make certain all ladders, walkways and handrails are
secure.
Visually check wheel equipment for tyre and rim
damage.
 Check tyre pressures. A change in tyre pressure can
affect the sowing rates.
Failure to correctly
connect the
hydraulic motor
return line (large)
at all breakaway
couplings will
cause oil loss from
the oil cooler relief
valve and possibly
cause damage to
the tractor
IMPORTANT
Failure to correctly
connect the
hydraulic motor
case drain line
(small) at all
breakaway
couplings will
cause oil loss
through the
hydraulic motor
shaft seal and
possibly cause
permanent damage
to the hydraulic
motor
