Servicing Metered Seed
Shafts
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. See
"Seed Meter Adjustment" on page 4-14. The following
is a list of things to be conscience of when re-assembling
the Seed Shafts.
•
Ensure that the Washers are adjacent to Seed Meter
Feed Shutoffs. See Figures 4-20 and 4-21.
•
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 Large Seed Meter.
