Before adjusting the seed rate, return the rate on the Scale to zero by rotating the hand wheel, then check and
make sure all seeding/fertilizing wheels are fully closed on all seeding/ fertilizing boxes. (SEE BEFORE BE-
GINNING section) If not, you need to loosen the clips on both sides of the seeding/fertilizing wheel and push
the wheel into the box. Tighten the clips. When the seeding/fertilizing box is closed and the meter indicates
"0". Adjust fertilizing rate by rotating the hand wheel. The meter has 8 numbers from 0-8, from zero to Maxi-
mum.
Important: Tighten locking nut on handle assembly before operating.
Weight, size, relative humidity, and moisture content can affect seeding rates. Users can adjust the position of
the seed/fertilizer "TONGUE" and lock in different positions by moving the cotter pin to meet the different
seeding/fertilizing size. The smaller the seed, the higher up the TONGUE should be positioned. For larger
seed, the "TONGUE" should be opened more.
