3. Individual Seed Meter Adapters with Seed Meter Cup
attached or Seed Meter Cups (if Meter Adapter is not
used) can be adjusted as required. Adjustments can
be made by loosening the 1/4-20 x 3/4 Machine
Screws that mount the Seed Meter Adapter or Seed
Meter Cup to the Seed Box and the 1/4-20 Nut that
attaches the Seed Meter Support to the Seed Meter
Cup. Adjust the affected Seed Meters so the Feed Cut
Off is against the star washer in the Seed Meter Cup
(closed). Be sure the Meter Feed Roll stays engaged
in the Seed Meter Star Washer. See Figure 5-9. After
adjustments have been made seal the Seed Meter
Adapter to Seed Box with clear Silicone.

IMPORTANT
The Clutch if equipped must be disengaged (power
off) when Seed Shafts are turned manually.
If Seeder is not equipped with a Clutch, remove Chain
from Speed Reducer to Transmission Shaft. This allows
Seed Shaft to rotate independently from Front Roller.
See Figure 3-12.
After you have serviced a Seed Shaft, Seed Meters or
related components you will need to Zero out the Seed
Meters to ensure that you are seeding uniformly. Refer to
Seed Meter Adjustment. The following is a list of things to
be conscience of when re-assembling the Seed Shafts.
•
Ensure that the Thrust Washers are adjacent to Seed
Meter Feed Cut Offs and Spacers or Square Bore
Collars. See Figure 5-10.

•
Ensure RH Seed Shaft is threaded into the Feed Roll
Coupling Assembly between 1/2" to 3/4". Seed Shaft
should be visibly past the set screw hole when the set
screw is removed from the Coupler. Tighten Feed Roll
Coupler Assembly Set Screws against the flats of the
Seed Shaft.
•
Ensure that the Seed Shaft can turn freely without any
binding when the Seed Meters are open or closed
after servicing. You may need to make adjustments to
the Seed Meter Supports at each Seed Meter.
