Assembly Of Optional Equipment; Agitator Blades (Optional Cage Or Brushes); Changing Agitator Kits - Landoll Brillion LSP5 Operator's Manual

Agitator Blades (Optional Cage
or Brushes)
Agitator blades are supplied as standard on your
seedbox. They should operate leaving a slight clearance
with the bottom of the seed box.
Agitator brushes (optional) in the seed box sweep the
bottom of the box to control the flow of seed. However,
if they exert too much pressure on the bottom of the box,
chain breakage and excessive brush wear can possibly
result. To overcome excessive pressure of the brushes
on the bottom of the box, the bolts holding the triangular
cast iron bearings can be loosened and the bearings
raised to reduce excessive drag. The holes in the bearing
are slightly larger than the bolts holding them, thus
making an adjustment possible.
Cage agitator (optional) operates similar to blades.

IMPORTANT
Before proceeding with any agitator installation, be
sure to note the direction of shaft rotation on your
seeder. See Figure 3-1.
1. Remove two bolts which hold end bearing on the
right end of the right seed box. See Figure 3-2.
2. Slide the shaft out of the right end.
3. Agitators should be installed with careful attention to
the direction of shaft rotation as the seed rate will be
reduced if they run "backwards". In addition, brush
agitators will be damaged if not run in the proper
direction.

The brushes will be destroyed if installed
backwards.
4. With the agitators properly seated in the boxes,
replace the drive shafts. Replace washers as needed
for fit.
5. Check to be sure agitators rotate freely. Some
seeders may have bolts extending into the seed box
causing inference. These bolts will need to be
shortened.
6. Apply Important Decal 5D505 to the front seedbox
visible by the tractor driver.
