Problem
Seed Wheel will not turn on.
Seed Wheel keeps shutting off
Chemical rates are off; I am
applying to much or not enough
chemical.
Seed is backing up into the seed
wheel
Flow Meter is fluctuating
Flow Meter is reading too low or
too high.

LP2000 with Seed Wheel
Possible Cause
1. Incorrect incoming power.
2. Loose wire connection
3. VFD has a fault
1. Seed Wheel drawing too
many amps.
2. Seed Wheel is binding.
3. Seed Wheel is incorrectly
mounted.
1. Pockets in seed wheel are
not staying full
2. Calculations are off
1. Seed gate on treater is
closed down
2. Seed wheel is turning too fast
3. Restriction above seed gate.
1. Pump is sucking air.
2. Restriction in the line.
3. Flow meter is not full of liquid
1. Restriction in Flow Meter or
in line.
2. Air in treatment. This can
cause the flow meter to read
lower than calibrating it using
a measuring cup.
3. Seed flow has changed.

Solution
1. Check incoming power
2. Check all wire connections.
3. Check VFD for faults
1. Check motor amperage
2. Check to make sure nothing
is pressing down on the seed
wheel.
3. Loosen up the seed wheel
from the seed treater and
check again.
1. Ensure that the pockets are
staying full while treating.
2. Re-check calculations. If this
is the first batch treated, you
may have to adjust your
numbers in the formula.
1. Open seed gate wide open
2. Slow down the seed wheel to
accommodate your seed
treater
3. Remove restriction
1. Check and tighten all hose
connections.
1. Check filter to see if gasket is
missing or cracked.
2. Clean out filter and lines to
check for any debris.
3. The meter will fluctuate if
there is nothing pumping and
there is some liquid left in the
meter. Drain out liquid.
1. Flush the flow meter with
water or use compressed air
and blow air backwards
through the meter.
2. Check and tighten all hose
connections.
2. Check filter to see if gasket is
missing or cracked.
3. Recheck seed flow rate.
