the seed rate chart the meter opening for the
desired seed rate (See Figure 4-21)
b. Loosen the locking nut securing the seed
rate adjustment handle.
c. The seed rate adjustment handle assembly
has a graduated scale above the handle that
corresponds to the meter opening.

ate meter opening.

occur to the meter assemblies. The meter
will not be able to be fully closed if there is
seed in the box.
