Positioning Seed-Cup Doors
Refer to Figure 34
For wheat and other small seeds, move seed-cup-
door handles to the highest position. For soybeans
and other large seeds, lower handles to second po-
sition. If excessive seed cracking occurs, lower
handles to third position. For seed-cup clean out,
move handles to the fourth, wide-open position.
Make sure all handles are in the same position be-
fore drilling.
Checking Seeding Rate
!
WARNING
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
by the falling implement. Always have transport locks in
place and frame sufficiently blocked up when working
on the implement.
1. Place a sufficient amount of seed to be calibrat-
ed in the hopper to cover the metering system.
Refer to Figure 35
2. To calibrate, use the crank handle (1) as a key
to push calibration shaft index collar in and ro-
tate to the right.
NOTE: Decals located next to calibration shaft in-
dex collars indicate proper rotation for calibration
and field operation.
Important! This mechanism controls the direc-
tion of seed flow. By rotating the calibration shaft
index collar to the right using the crank handle
(1) , the opener hose is blocked off and seed will
collect in the metering tray for calibration.
3. Remove calibration tray (2) from storage posi-
tion. Make sure the calibration tray (2) is in the
upright position, locked in place, and clear of
any debris.
Refer to Figure 36
4. Disengage the fertilizer drive sprocket by pull-
ing the plunger pin and turning it to be parallel
with the drive shaft.
5. Raise the drill to the transport position and in-
stall pins in the transport locks. Refer to Trans-
porting, “Operating Instructions,” page 22.
