Positioning Seed-Cup Doors
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 position. If exces-
sive 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 posi-
tion before drilling.
