Blower Operation
Concern Probable Cause Suggested Remedy
Blower does not operate a) Tractor hydraulic
system failed
b) Hydraulic line from the
tractor to the blower
motor not connected
c) Breakaway coupling
failed
Consult the authorised Tractor Dealer
Check all breakaway couplings between the Airseeder
hydraulic blower motor and the tractor are connected
Check all coupling ball or pintle ends are free, in position and
not under pressure
Blower operates
erratically
a) Tractor hydraulic
system surging
a) Ensure the blower hydraulic line is connected to the
priority connection of the tractor auxiliary hydraulic valve
b) Consult the authorised Tractor Dealer
Oil discharge from
hydraulic oil cooler relief
valve
a) Motor return hose not
coupled to the tractor
b) Breakaway coupling
failed
c) Motor return hose
squashed or kinked
d) Relief valve pressure is
set too low or relief valve
has failed
Check all breakaway hydraulic couplings between the
Airseeder hydraulic blower motor and the tractor are
connected
Check all coupling ball or pintle ends are free, in position and
not under pressure
Check that the motor return hose is free running and not
squashed in a hose clamp etc.
Consult an authorised Simplicity Australia Dealer
Oil discharge from
hydraulic motor shaft
seal
a) Case drain hose not
coupled to the tractor
b) Breakaway coupling
failed
c) Case drain hose
squashed or kinked
Check all breakaway hydraulic couplings between the
Airseeder hydraulic blower motor and the tractor are
connected
Check all coupling ball or pintle ends are free, in position and
not under pressure
Check that the case drain hose is free running and not
squashed in a hose clamp etc.
Blower hydraulic system
running hot
a) Oil cooler air flow
restricted
b) Restriction in motor
return line
c) Blower running too fast
Clean oil cooler and repair any damaged fins. Refer Page 4.7
a) Check all breakaway hydraulic couplings between the
Airseeder hydraulic blower motor and the tractor are
correctly matched
b) Check all coupling ball or pintle ends are free, in position
and not under pressure
a) Check blower speed is not too fast for the sowing
operation. Refer Page 3.13
b) Check seeding kit set up is correct with no restrictions
