OPERATION Seed Rate Refer to Seed Chart on the Front Seedbox Cover to determine range for Seeding Rate. It should be used as a general guide only, because of seed size variation and cleanliness. A more accurate Seed Rate can be determined by Calibrating the Seeder, see Seed Rate Calibration in this section. • To install sprockets for the required range, remove the Klik Pin and change the Driver and Driven Sprockets accordingly. Also, refer to decal on the inside of the Transmission Cover.
OPERATION CAUTION To prevent damage to seed meters, do not apply excessive force to adjusting nuts. This is especially important when closing meters as seed in flutes can be pinched between seed cup cutoff and washer. Do not close meters more than 1/8" when there is seed in the meters without rotating the seed shaft to prevent damage to the rotating washers and retainer rings in the seed meters. • All cups must be set the same to seed uniformly.
OPERATION Rear Seedbox NOTES • Rear Seedbox cups are adjusted just like the Front Seedbox. Seed Cup Cut-off Rear Seedbox Seed Cups discharge to the rear of the machine.
OPERATION Seed Rate Calibration 3. Remove Seed Drive Disconnect Pin - Front Box. Place Calibration Trough in Collection Position by removing (6) six Carriage Bolts. See Figure 2-11. Place tarp under front of machine. Refer to Seed Charts on the Seedbox Covers to determine initial Seed Meter Settings.
OPERATION Rear Seedbox 4. Turn the 5/8" Hex CCW 143 revolutions to meter out seed. 1. Adjust Seed Meter Setting. 5. Weigh the seed = Lbs / Acre. 2. Remove Seed Drive Disconnect Pin - Rear Box. 3. Prime Meters: Turn 5/8" Hex for Rear Box Calibration CCW (Counter Clockwise) until all Meters are discharging seed. Empty Calibration Trough or Tarp. 6. Adjust Meters and Re-Calibrate as necessary. 7. Re-Install Seed Drive Disconnect Pin - Rear Box. 8. Re-Install Calibration Trough in Seeding Position.
OPERATION Make sure you cut the seeding rate in half when planting in two passes. DANGER Keep riders off of machinery Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or machine. Riders could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine. Never allow children to operate equipment. Keep bystanders away from machine during operation. Seeding • Planting speeds of 4-8 mph typically works best. Adjust speed to conditions.
OPERATION DANGER Wear Protective Gloves And Safety Glasses Or Goggles When Working With Air Shock. Pressurized Air Shock May Violently Extend If Disconnected From Machine Without Releasing Its Air Pressure Prior To Removing. Air Shock • Check and adjust air pressure while machine is resting on the ground. • Typical air pressure range for this Implement is 20-100 psi. In some instances more air pressure maybe necessary, but do not exceed 120psi.
OPERATION Gage Wheels • Engaging the Gage Wheels with the ground will also help reduce Tillage Rotor bounce. • Gage Wheels control the depth of the Tillage Rotor.
OPERATION Rotor Thrust Guide • If adjustment is needed loosen Jam Nut and turn Adjusting Bolt, Re-tighten Jam Nut. • Thrust Guide on each side of the machine, should have 1/32" maximum clearance between Guide and Lower Frame Side Plates. Right side of the machine shown.
OPERATION Lift and Tie-Down • Tighten nut on Rockshaft Clamp to prevent movement. • Before loading Implement onto a trailer and detaching from tractor, lower machine to the ground and install Rockshaft Lock Detent Pin when Rockshaft Lock Slot aligns with Frame Tab Hole. • Before lifting Implement Open Rear Seedbox Cover to prevent possible damage during lifting. Tie machine down on the trailer and close Rear Seedbox Cover. Refer to decals.
OPERATION Storage • Repair or replace any broken or damaged parts. • At the end of the season, empty Seedboxes and Seed Meters before cleaning your machine for storage. • Avoid spraying high pressure washer directly at bearing seals. • Grease machine after washing to displace any residual water. • Store in a dry, protected place. • Before detaching implement from tractor, lower machine to the ground and tighten nut on Rockshaft Clamp to prevent movement.
