OPERATION
Seed Rate Calibration
The provided charts were determined by laboratory tests
on various samples. To find rates for specific seed lots or
to calibrate for unlisted seeds, proceed as shown on the
seed chart.
Machine May Be Calibrated for Unlisted Seed as Follows:
1. Remove the chain between 17 Tooth and 19 Tooth
Sprockets. See Figure 3-5.
2. Raise the machine and lock in transport position.
3. Place a canvas or tarp in position to catch seed.
4. Turn the 3/4 Hex on sprocket shaft 795 revolutions
counterclockwise. 159 turns be used if results are
adjusted as shown in Step #5.
5. Weigh the seed for approximate planting rate.
Multiply weight by 5 if only 159 turns were used.
