Finger Meter Inserts
Refer to Figure 11
The backing plate is equipped with an “A” insert
. In
tests, this insert provides the best performance in most
seed sizes. However, there are two alternative inserts
that can be used. Before changing to a different insert,
please consult with a Great Plains service representative
for a recommendation.
The insert type is molded into the back. Changing inserts
requires meter disassembly, and is not further described
in this manual.
Be cautious in using seed treatments, additives, and other
chemicals when possible. They can cause meter performance
problems and premature wear to meter parts. See “Seed
Lubricants” on page 59.
Always store meters in a dry, secure place, with brush in
between two meter fingers. Moisture, temperature, nest-build-
ing insects and rodents can create problems.
Always pay attention to your seed monitor and operating man-
ual. Monitor the amount of seed you are planting compared to
your expectations. Always investigate abnormalities!
