OPERATION

Seed Box Seed Rate Adjustment


• To Prevent damage to seed meters, do not
apply excessive force to adjusting nuts. This
is especially important when closing meters
as seed in flutes can be pinched between
cut-off and washer in seed cup.
• Do not close meters more than 1/8" when
there is seed in the meters without rotating
the seed shaft to prevent damage to the
rotating washers and retainer rings in the
seed meters.
• Do not attempt to open meters more than 1".
(Feed rolls could become disengaged from
washer in the seed cup.)
NOTE
To avoid Seed Meter damage, if there is seed in the
Meters, decrease rate in small increments. Decrease rate
no more than one nut revolution and rotate Seed Shaft to
purge seed from Meters. Continue adjustment as
needed.
NOTE
Before filling with seed be sure Seed Shaft turns freely
and Seed Meters are free of any foreign matter.
Wrenches for adjustment are stored on a Pin at the back
of the Transmission. See Figure 3-9.

Seed Shafts are turned manually for Calibration.
Seed Rate Charts specific to Seeder Model are located

Because of seed variation, a more accurate rate can be
determined by turning the 15/16" Hex Nut on the
Transmission to calibrate the Seeder. See "Calibration
for Unlisted Seeds" on Page 3-10.
On the right side, the Seed Rate for the Seed Meters can
