Row Unit Operation
Ejector
NOTE: Damaged seed or seed containing foreign material will cause plugging of seed disc orifices and
require more frequent seed meter cleanout to prevent underplanting.
Wheel-Type Ejectors
Wheel-type ejectors expel seed remants from seed disc orifices. These ejectors are disc specific and colored coded to
match disc.
NOTE: Seed size, seed shape, seed treatments, travel speed, and planting rate affect meter performance.
1. Select seed disc and ejector to match crop and population.
NOTICE
Replace hopper or tank lids after filling to prevent accumulation of dust or dirt in seed meter resulting in
premature wear.
2. Adjust singulator wheel to initial setting. Seed size, seed shape, seed treatments, travel speed and planting
rate all affect meter performance.
3. With vacuum fan running, lower planter to planting position and drive forward a short distance to load seed into
seed disc cells.
