Compressor Operation - Landoll 5530 Operator's Manual

4-9 COMPRESSOR OPERATION

4-9.1 The grain drill is equipped with a small
air compressor to make minor adjustments in
system air pressure (See Figure 4-7). When
making large adjustments in system pres-
sure, use shop or alternate air source.
4-9.2 Power to the electric air compressor is
supplied through the main lighting harness.
Connect the seven pin connector to the trac-
tor. It is recommended that the tractor be
running while operating the compressor to in-
sure full system voltage to the compressor.
A toggle switch is located next to the com-
pressor to turn the compressor on and off.
4-9.3 Operate the compressor only when
making small adjustments to the system air
pressure. Do not operate the compressor
while planting. The compressor filter is not
sufficient to operate in the dirty field condi-
tions. The compressor also has a limited
duty cycle. Maximum run time for the com-
pressor is 5 minutes on followed by a 10
minute off cool down period before additional
operation.
4-9.4 The air compressor is designed for
oiless operation. Thus there are no fluid lev-
els to check or maintain.
