Seed Hawk TOOLBAR 2008 - Manual (Page 40)

NOTE: The chain that is between the seed and fertilizer knife is
tight You now know that you are applying the proper amount of
pressure for the current field.
Step # 9 Once the knives get tight , notice the shank pressure
gauge and its reading. In good seeding conditions, add an
additional 200 PSI to the system. When seeding small seeds such
as canola in wet conditions, adding the additional 200 PSI is not
recommended. You would tend to over pack.
You always want to ensure that you are maintaining seed and
fertilizer separation.
Step #10 When turning off your product on head lands, use the
Meter Engage switch to do this.
Step # 11 Pull back on your tractor lever that your red banded
hoses are connected to in order to lift your shanks up while you are
turning around on your headland.
Your Seed Hawk Hydraulic System is rated to handle over
3000 PSI. All we require is a maximum of 1500 PSI.
Example of seed depth
setting at 3/4”.
Seed Hawk recommends that you still check your actual seed and
fertilizer separation in each field. Soils vary, moisture conditions
vary, and over time your opener bolts if not tightened on a yearly
basis will function differently from the original new machine.
Your seed and fertilizer separation may change.
