Speed Change Sprocket
The All Purpose Seeder is designed with two drive speeds to accommodate different seed sizes and seed dispersal rates. The two drive speeds are high range (fast speed) and low range (slow speed).
High Range Set-up
Refer to Figure
1.Loosen 3/8" flange lock nut(#1) and drive tension sprocket (#2). Remove drive chain (#3) from speed change sprocket (#6).
2.Remove 5/8” nut (#4) and 5/8” flat washer (#5).
3.Pull idler sprocket (#8) away from driven chain (#7) and remove driven chain.
4.Rearrange speed change sprocket (#6) so that the larger 35 tooth sprocket is behind the smaller 19 tooth sprocket as shown.
5.Secure sprocket with 5/8" flat washer (#5) and 5/8" - 11 nut (#4). Tighten nut to correct torque.
6.Drive chain (#3) should be 65 pitches long and driven chain (#7) 101 pitches long. If drive chain has 73 pitches, remove 8 pitches from it and add those 8 pitches to the driven chain.
7.Replace 101 pitch driven chain (#7) first and then the 65 pitch drive chain (#3).
8.Make sure idler sprocket (#8) is pressing against the driven chain.
9.Retention drive chain (#3) by pressing down on idler sprocket (#2). When tensioned properly, tighten 3/8" flange lock nut (#1) to maintain that tension.
Low Range Set-up
Refer to Figure
1.Loosen 3/8" flange lock nut(#1) and drive tension sprocket (#2). Remove drive chain (#3) from speed change sprocket (#6).
2.Remove 5/8” nut (#4) and 5/8” flat washer (#5).
3.Pull idler sprocket (#8) away from driven chain (#7) and remove driven chain.
4.Rearrange speed change sprocket (#6) so that the larger 35 tooth sprocket is in front of the smaller 19 tooth sprocket as shown.
5.Secure sprocket with 5/8" flat washer (#5) and 5/8" - 11 nut (#4). Tighten nut to correct torque.
6.Drive chain (#3) should be 73 pitches long and driven chain (#7) 92 pitches long. If driven chain has 101 pitches, remove 8 pitches from it and add those 8 pitches to the drive chain.
7.Replace 93 pitch driven chain (#7) first and then the 73 pitch drive chain (#3).
8.Make sure idler sprocket (#8) is pressing against the driven chain.
9.Retention drive chain (#3) by pressing down on idler sprocket (#2). When tensioned properly, tighten 3/8" flange lock nut (#1) to maintain that tension.
