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.
