OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
4-17
Meter/Seed Rate Handle
Adjustment
1. If the seed meter shaft is disassembled for
maintenance or repair the seed meters and
adjustment handle will need to be reset or zeroed to
set the meters equally across the section.
2. To reset the meters, loosely reassemble the shaft,
meters, spacers, locking collars etc. but leave the
locking collars loose.
3. Tighten the threaded seed shaft adjustment to hold in
place.
4. Start with the end meter(s) next to the threaded
adjustment (See Figure 4-10.) Slide the feed roll
and cut-off to the right until the indicator reads zero
on the end meter. Remove any remaining slack
between the spacers, washers, feed rolls etc. and
secure the lock collars on each end of that group of
meters. Continue to work across the drill section
sliding the meter feed rolls to the right, removing any
slack, and securing the lock collars for each group of
meters.
5. With all lock collars secure on the seed shaft and all
slack removed from between the spacers, verify that
each meter is actually zeroed out. The feed roll
should not be protruding or recessed inside any of
the meters. To fine tune each meter, if necessary,
loosen the two bolts holding the meter housing to the
bottom of the seed box. Slide the meter housing to
the right or left, until the meter is zeroed out.
Retighten the meter housing to the bottom of the
seed box.
