    Chapter 1 WARNING • When starting the machine for the first time after installing OmniRow, be sure that all persons stand clear, in case a hose has not been properly tightened. • Install the enclosed warning labels in a highly-visible area of the planter’s tool bar.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    Recommendations Raven Industries recommends the following best practices before installing or operating the OmniRow system for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the OmniRow system to another machine: • Ensure the machine’s hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic...

  • Page 8: Tools Needed

    Chapter 2 Tools Needed The following tools are recommended for installation of the OmniRow system: • SAE standard-sized wrenches/sockets • Metric wrenches/sockets • Allen wrenches • Cable ties • Set of tools Point of Reference The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the planter, looking toward the planter’s hitch or tractor.

  • Page 9: Hydraulic System Installation

    For the OmniRow system to function properly, its hydraulic tank line must connect to a low pressure return connection on the tractor that prohibits the tank pressure from exceeding 200 psi. A motor return connection is the ideal connection for the OmniRow system because it prevents the pressure from being reversed to the system.

    Important: Leave the existing sprocket on the right side of the row unit. The OmniRow system will utilize it and the existing drive chain to drive the seed meter.
  • Page 11 FIGURE 3. Supplemental support bearings (from the left side of the planter row units, opposite the seed meter drive sprocket) can be removed as needed if they interfere with the OmniRow installation. Important: Supplemental support bearings may be required to help support section shafts. Refer to the supplied installation guide to determine if and where support bearings need to be placed.

  • Page 17 Hydraulic System Installation Insert the supplied cotter pin (P/N 312-0000-395) in the hex coupler to secure the installed shafts. Secure any wires within close proximity of the installed hydraulic motor to prevent interference with the operation of the row unit. Note: Do not secure the wires between the motor and the row unit mounting bracket, as this makes it difficult to access the wires if maintenance is required.

    Install the Fittings on the Valve Before mounting the OmniRow hydraulic valve on the machine, install the proper fittings in the valve. This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the following table to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the OmniRow valve.

    P/N 107-0171-956 Note: The OmniRow hydraulic valve should be mounted at the front of the planter, near the hitch in a location that allows the hydraulic hoses to be connected to it without interference. Refer to the machine-specific hydraulic installation sheet for the location. Ports P, T, and EF should face the planter’s hitch and Ports G1, G2, and T2 should face the planter’s tool bar if possible.
