Row Unit Operation
Turn seed disc counterclockwise when installing on meter hub while
tightening two wing nuts that retain disc. Seed disc should have slight
resistance when rotated counterclockwise after wing nuts are tight.
Brush-type seed meter attaches to seed hopper same as finger
pickup seed meter. Secure to bottom of seed hopper with two 5∕16"
thumbscrews. Tighten thumbscrews slightly with pliers. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN.
Misalignment between drive coupler and seed meter input shaft may
cause erratic seed spacing from momentary stoppage of seed disc.
Check alignment and adjust as needed.
Refer to planting rate charts in this manual for recommended seed
drive transmission sprocket combinations.
NOTICE
Replace hopper lids after hoppers are filled to prevent accumulation of
dust or dirt in seed meter which will cause premature wear.
NOTE: Clean seed is required to ensure accurate seed metering from brush-type seed meters. Remove seed discs
daily and check seed meter or brushes for buildup of foreign material, such as hulls, stems, etc.
