for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands (See
Figure 3-8.) Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.

Transmission Electric Clutch
- Optional
IMPORTANT
At no time use high pressure water or air to clean the
Electric Clutch as damage could occur.
Clutch characteristics are as follows:
• The Electric Clutch is controlled by a Touch Screen
Monitor or a Toggle Switch on the Switch Box
mounted to the Tractor.
Brillion Elite Mini Monitor: Touch Screen Monitor
provides the user the ability to turn the Seeder Clutch
"ON" or "OFF".
Clutch Switch Box: Toggle Switch on the Switch
Box, turns the Seeder Clutch to "SEED" or "NO
SEED".
Console w/Clutch Control: Toggle Switch on the
Console, turns the Seeder Clutch to "SEED" or "NO
SEED".
• The Electric Clutch is disengaged when power (12
Volts) is applied. If there is a power failure or
electrical problem, the Seeder will continue to
operate, so the machine must be raised to stop
seeding.
• Seed Shafts will not rotate when the machine is
backed up.
• The Clutch Switch Box contains a 5 Amp Time-Delay
Fuse.
• The Electric Clutch must be disengaged (power
applied) when Seed Shafts are turned manually for
Calibration.
• Check Electric Clutch Operation. The Electric Clutch
will disengage when power is applied. (Clutch will
make a clicking sound). Set Seeder on the ground
and drive a short distance while toggling the Seeder
Clutch to "ON/SEED" and "OFF/NO SEED". The
Seed Shaft will stop rotating when Monitor or Toggle
Switch is set to "OFF/NO SEED".
• Set Monitor or Toggle Switch to "ON/SEED" position
when Seeder is not used to shut off power to prevent
possible overheating of Clutch Coil.
