the seed flow therefore allows for half the machine to be shut off. Please note for half machine shut
off the application rate would need to be halved whilst the levers are in this position to maintain the
required application rate. The levers are also manually activated, and therefore must be readjusted
and the rate reset if returning to full width applications.
6.4.4 - Fan Checks & Maintenance
WARNING – Risk of Injury from the running fan – NEVER run the fan without
the protective shroud installed. Only dismantle the protective grille when the
fan is stopped and isolated from restarting.
Clean the protective grille regularly to prevent debris build up that would lead to a restriction in
airflow and possible blockage. Using compressed air for this purpose is recommended
Clean any deposits and dirt from the fan blades to prevent imbalance and damage to the impeller
and bearings. Most soiling should be easily removed with compressed air (If the material is dry) for
more stubborn soiling of the fan guard it is recommended to utilise a high-pressure water cleaner
and allow the drill and distribution piping to dry prior to usage.
6.5 - Metering
The metering unit system and guillotine is positioned under the hopper. The guillotine is used to
contain product in the tank if the metering rollers need to be removed for calibration.
The drive motor turns the rotor and meters product out of the tank and into the airstream provided
by the fan.
Rotors can be changed to use different sized flutes depending on seed size and rates.
A micro rotor is supplied with the 3rd tank option for fine seeds and low rates.
The rubber scraper prevents excessive seed from passing the rotor. The scraper requires
adjustment when changing from small/ medium to large seed size.
