Operation 13
5WPMAN0100 (Rev. 5/2/2008)
rollers are level. Adjust the 3-point lower lift stop so that
the roller spikes penetrate the ground at 3/4" (19 mm)
or enough to remove the tracks left by the tractor tires.

OPERATING TIPS
Do not allow dirt to build up on the roller sprockets.
Clean sprockets and chain as needed. Excessive
buildup of material can cause damage to the roller and
idler shafts.
Figure 9. Drive Chains
Always run the drive chain with some slack in the
chain. An extremely tight chain can damage the roller
shaft, the roller bearings, and the idler shaft and bear-
ing.
When properly torqued, the hex lock nut (1), Figure 9,
drives the seedbox roller chain. Disengage the seed-
box chain when not in use by backing off a 1/4 turn on
the lock nut.
NOTICE
■ Before closing the seed cup flow, make sure
cups are not full of seed (especially small, round,
hard seed). To reduce the amount of seed remain-
ing in cups, cover the holes above the seed cups
with a strip of cardboard and run the seeder a short
distance. Failure to do so could result in seed cup
damage.
