Operating Tips
IMPORTANT
■ Before closing down the cup (reducing rates),
the operator should make certain that the cups are
not full of seed. If cups are full of seed (especially
small, round, hard seed), it may be necessary to
cover the meter holes and run seeder a short dis-
tance to reduce level of seeds in meter. Failure to
do so could result in damage to seed cup.
1. 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.
2. 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 bearing.
3. When properly torqued, the hex lock nut (1) drives
the seedbox roller chain. Disengage the seedbox
chain, when not in use, by backing off a 1/4 turn on
the lock nut.
