OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
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 4-9.) 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.
