Clutch Operation - Optional
The clutch is controlled by a toggle switch on the
Console. See Figure 2-16.
Clutch characteristics are as follows:
1. The clutch is engaged when power (12 volts) is
applied.
2. The seeder has provisions to mechanically lock the
clutch to drive the seed metering system, by aligning
the hole in the Clutch Shaft with the slot in the Clutch
Hub and securing with a 1/4 x 1-3/4 Bolt, Flat
Washers and Locknut. See Figure 3-16.
3. The clutch must be disengaged (power off) when
seed shafts are turned manually for calibration.
4. Check clutch operation: Clutch will engage when
power is applied. (Clutch will make a clicking sound).
Set seeder on the ground and drive a short distance
while turning switch on and off. The seed shaft will
stop rotating when switch is turned to "NO SEED"
position.
IMPORTANT
At no time use high pressure water or air to clean the
clutch as damage could occur.
