OPERATION
Calibration for Unlisted Seeds
IMPORTANT
The Clutch if equipped must be disengaged (power
off) when Seed Shafts are turned manually for
Calibration.
If Seeder is not equipped with a Clutch, remove
Chain from Speed Reducer to Transmission Shaft.
This allows Seed Shaft to rotate independently from
Front Roller. See Figure 3-14.

Landoll assumes no liability pertaining to Seeding Rates
achieved with this Seeder. Rates listed are general in
nature and should be used as starting points only. Seed
varieties and blends listed represent those calibrated
through in-house test meters.
Variations in actual rates may be realized due to
differences in seed lots. For accurate rates with seeds
being used, follow the calibration instructions listed on
the Seed Chart inside the seed box cover or refer to the
Operator's Manual. The information listed in the above
seed charts is subject to change without notice.
Calibrate Unlisted Seeds as follows:
1. Seed Shaft turns 163 Revolutions per Acre Seeded.
2. Raise machine and lock in Transport Position.

Counter-Clockwise (CCW) with provided Crank, 41
turns may be used if results are adjusted as stated in
Step 5. See Figure 3-15.
