Machine Operation
1. Fill insecticide and/or herbicide hoppers.
2. Attach a calibrated vial to each granular chemical meter.
NOTE: Disengage clutch to avoid dropping seed during test.
3. Lower planter and drive 1320 feet at planting speed.
4. Weigh chemical in ounces caught in one vial.
5. Multiply that amount by factor shown to determine pounds per acre.
EXAMPLE: You are planting 30" rows. You have planted for 1320 feet at the desired planting speed. You caught 12.0
ounces of chemical in one vial. 12.0 ounces times 0.83 equals 9.96 pounds per acre.
