Seed Rate Adjustment
NOTE
Wrenches for adjustment are stored on a pin at the back
of the transmission.

WARNING
Seed rate charts are located inside the seed box cover
and in this manual.
See Figure 3-6. They should be used
as a general guide only. Because of seed variation, a
more accurate rate can be determined by calibrating the
seeder. See Page 3-5.
The seed rate is set by adjusting the micro-meter on the
right side. See Figure 3-4.
To increase the rate of seeding: loosen the large locknut
(see NOTE above “WARNING” notice) on inside of the
bearing and turn the outer seed rate adjusting nut to the
desired higher number setting, then tighten the large
inner locknut. To decrease the rate of seeding: loosen the
inner seed rate adjusting nut and set the outer adjusting
nut to the new desired lower number position; then
tighten the large inner locknut.
Seed cups discharge to the front of the machine to aid
the operator in determining proper operation.

• 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
cut-off and washer in seed cup.
• Do not close the 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.
• Do not attempt to open the meters more than
1”. (Feed rolls could become disengaged
from washer in the seed cup.)
