Seed Meter Setup and Adjustment
Your 3PYP was originally supplied with a specific seed
meter type and internal components optimized for a
particular crop. Depending on the meter type and
configuration, there may be adjustments available.
You can also entirely change the meter, or swap internal
components, as your crop mix changes. This manual
section assumes that you need to install new meters,
then describes their internal configuration, and finally any
adjustments.
