To adjust, first raise drill slightly, then lift and slide Thandles on top of openers as shown in Figure 3-3.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 3 Adjustments Opener Down Pressure Each opener spring can be adjusted individually for down pressure. This is useful when penetrating hard soil and for seeding in tractor tire tracks. To adjust opener down pressure, remove W clip at bottom of spring. Place W clip in a higher hole for greater down pressure or in a lower hole for less down pressure. See Figure 3-5. Arrange Drive Sprockets Refer to the seed-rate charts for the correct drive type–1, 1A, 2 or 2A.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 3 Adjustments Set Seed-Rate Handle The position the handle (shown in Figure 3-8) to the setting indicated on the chart.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 3 Adjustments Native Grass Option IMPORTANT: The rate charts are a guide only. Because of wide variations in seed size and weight, you must calibrate the drill to your seed. Set your drill according to the charts, then follow procedures under Checking the Seeding Rate, page 12. Native-grass metering is directly related to revolutions of the clutch shaft. Different sprocket combinations give a broad range of seeding rates.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 3 Adjustments Disk Scraper Adjustment Drive Train Operation To keep the opener disks turning freely, dirt scrapers are mounted between the disks to clean as the disks rotate. As field conditions vary, the scrapers may need to be adjusted. In damp conditions, the scrapers may need to be lowered. If openers are not turning freely, the scrapers may need to be raised. To adjust the scrapers, loosen 3/8inch bolt as shown in Figure 3-1 and move scraper as needed.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 3 Adjustments Harrow Adjustment Seed-Lok Figure 3-5 shows a successful harrow position for no-till conditions. Because of different soil moisture, trash levels and trash types, you may need to reposition the tube frame or tines. Initially position the frame and tines as shown in Figure 3-5, then readjust as necessary. The optional Seed-Lok firming wheels provide additional seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are spring loaded and do not require adjusting.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 4 Troubleshooting Section 4 Troubleshooting Problem Solution Uneven seed spacing or uneven stand Check for plugging in seed cup. Check if seed tubes are plugged. Reduce ground speed. Check that opener disks turn freely. Use faster drive type and move seed-rate handle to a lower setting. Increase down pressure on openers to penetrate low spots. Refer to Opener Down Pressure, “Adjustments,” page 13. Check for trash or mud build-up on Seed-Lok wheels.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 4 Troubleshooting Problem Solution Grain box not emptying evenly Certain models do not have the same number of seed cups between each divider of bulkhead. The section with the larger number of cups will empty sooner. Press wheel or openers plugging Consider field conditions. Drilling in damp or wet conditions will increase this problem. Reduce down pressure on openers. Refer to Opener Down Pressure, “Adjustments,” page 13.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Section 5 Maintenance and Lubrication Section 5 Maintenance and Lubrication Maintenance Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long implement life. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
