Machine Operation
Planting population rate changes are made using seed rate
transmissions at each end of planter. Seed rate transmission
allows quick and easy sprocket changes to obtain desired
planting population. Sprockets are exchanged with those from
sprocket storage rod bolted to transmission by removing lynch
pins on hexagon shafts.
A decal positioned on transmission module illustrates proper
chain routing. Planting rate charts found in “Rate Chart” section
help you select correct sprocket combinations.
Chain tension is controlled by a spring-loaded dual-sprocket
idler adjusted with an easy-release idler arm. This arm has
a release position to remove spring tension for replacing
sprockets. See “Wrap Spring Wrench Operation” below.
