General Information

When you see this symbol, the subsequent instructions andwarnings are serious - follow without exception. Your life andthe lives of others depend on it!!!

These instructions explain how to install the VerisDrive Option. The Veris Drive is a precision popu-lation controller which uses a hydraulic drive toaccurately drive the metering system or the feed-er cups.

These instructions apply to:

! CAUTION!Before installing the Precision Population Controlleron the seeding system, be sure that the unit is properlysupported to avoid injury during installation.

Refer to Figure 1

1. Remove contact wheel drive chains on bothsides of the unit.

Refer to Figure 2

2. Remove range drive chains on both sides ofthe unit.

Refer to Figure 3

3. Drive out roll pins from drive couplers on bothends of the pivot shaft. Slide shaft couplerstoward the center and slide shaft throughtongue away from the left-hand drive.

Refer to Figure 4

4. To mark and drill mounting holes for the con-troller/motor kit, use the dimensions suppliedon page 8. Mark the holes on the left-handtongue gusset on the mainframe and carefullydrill all four holes.

Note: It is important that you carefully mark anddrill these mounting holes. The lower portion ofthe drive mount houses the carrier bearing for thepivot shaft. Misalignment will cause operationalproblems.

Refer to Figure 5

5. Drill holes with either a 17/32” or 9/16” drill bit.

6. Mount controller/motor kit to the gusset withfour flanged 1/2” x 1 1/4” bolts and 1/2”flanged lock nuts, do not tighten at this time.Leave hydraulic hoses and harness coiled un-til later in the assembly.

Refer to Figure 7

7. Slide the pivot shaft towards the installeddrive mount until shaft is a few inches throughthe bearing hanger. Slide on one lock collar,bearing and bearing flangettes. Install the 19tooth sprocket and second lock collar. Slideshaft back into position, then slide couplersback into position. Check to see if shaft is cen-tered in the bearing hanger opening. Looselyattach bearings flangettes, then tighten thefour mounting bolts on the controller/motor.Tighten bearing flangettes.

Note: Shaft should now turn freely by hand with nobinding at the shaft couplers. If this is not the case,the drive mount is not properly positioned on thegusset. To correct this, enlarge the mountingholes to allow the mount to be moved forward orbackward to properly align the mount with the piv-ot shaft.

Once the mount is properly aligned with the pivotshaft, reinstall the shaft couplers with 1/4” x 1 3/4”bolts and 1/4” lock nuts.

5Installation Instructions

Refer to Figure 8

8. Slide the first lock collar installed on the pivotshaft against the bearing and tighten. Slidethe 19 tooth sprocket installed on the pivotshaft against the bearing. Slide the secondlock collar installed on the pivot shaft againstthe sprocket and tighten.

9. Install chain idler and chain.

Note: In order for the motor to have the correct ra-tio to the seed meters you must set the range andthe transmission sprockets.

Refer to Figure 9

10. For Precision drill:

Set the range sprockets with a 30 toothsprocket for the driver, and a 30 tooth sprock-et for the driven, on both sides of the unit. Re-install chains and tighten the idlers.

11. For Feeder Cup drill:

Set the range sprockets to drive type 4 onboth sides of the unit. Reinstall chains andtighten the idlers.

Refer to Figure 10

12. Set the transmission sprockets with a 28 toothsprocket for the driver, and a 25 tooth sprock-et for the driven, on both sides of the unit.

Note: Be sure to set both the left-hand and right-hand range and transmission sprockets. Oncethey are set they will not need to be changed.

Note: For Feeder Cup drill there is no transmis-sion sprocket change.

13. Remove the left wheel from the left-hand con-tact wheel shaft and slide the shaft to the rightallowing clearance for the speed sensor discand sensor bracket. Install the sensor bracketwith one bearing onto the shaft. Install thespeed sensor disc with one lock collar oneach side. Do not tighten lock collars.

14. Remove the forward bolt from the outsidebearing and replace it with a 5/16" x 1 3/4" boltand 5/16" nut and tighten. Place the spaceron the bolt then mount the sensor bracket onthe bolt. Secure bracket with a 5/16" nut.

15. Screw the sensor into the sensor mount untilthere is a .030 clearance. Lock sensor inplace with the jam nut. Move the sensor discso it aligns with the sensor and secure it inplace with the lock collars. Route the cablealong the contact wheel arm and up to thecontroller/motor mount. Repeat steps 13through 15 to install the Veris sensor and sen-sor bracket on the right-hand drive.

16. Relocate the seed monitor speed sensor tothe bracket installed on the left-hand drive.Properly adjust clearance. Tie both cables tothe contact wheel arm, and make sure theyare routed to prevent pinching.

Note: You can not leave the seed monitor speedsensor on the pivot shaft or the sensor will bereading motor drive speed instead of field speed.It is not necessary to move the sensor disc for theseed monitor. The seed monitor can use the samesensor disc as the Veris sensor.

Note: After relocating the seed monitor speedsensor it will be necessary to calibrate themonitor. Refer to the DICKEY-john® manualfor monitor distance calibration instructions.

Refer to Figure 12

17. Connect sensor cable to short leads on sen-sor module. Either cable can be connected toeither lead.

18. Uncoil hydraulic hoses and main harness andtie ends together. Feed a fish tape or a wirefrom the front of the tongue and pull the hosesand cable through the main tongue and routethrough the hose carrier on front of thetongue.

19. Install the plastic hose label, P/N 817-348C,to hose with “extension” symbol on the hoserunning to filter (marked P) on control module.Use the yellow cable tie to identify this as amotor hose. Attach motor return hose(marked T) on the side showing the “retract”symbol. Run tie strap through number that willcorrespond to the valve 2 through 4 that thedrive will be connected to.

Refer to Figure 13

20. Install the console in a convenient location ona side window glass. Make sure the glass isclean. Moisten cups and press firmly onto theglass. To remove, pull tab on suction cup.

21. Connect power port adaptor cable to the ter-minal on the console.

22. Route the power and communication cablesthrough the cab access hole and connect tothe appropriate terminals on the console.
