Seed Meter Gauge – The “Seed Meter Gauge” is used to adjust the seed flow to a set flow rate. It is calibrated so that you receive the correct amount of seed at any cruising speed. (i.e. – the seed flow is proportional to the ground speed)See figure 7.
Operation Before each day of use. o Check engine oil level and air filter. o Check for loose or damaged parts. o Clean dirt and debris from seed gate by turning seed flow setting (seed meter gauge) to #10, then turn the seed flow on.
