14. Turn meter drive shaft counter-clockwise through
one or more complete revolutions of the plate, until

Seed Tube Clean-Out
The seed sensor in the seed tube can be obscured by
build-up of dust, dirt and seed treatments. This can
cause false low population alarms.
The planter incudes a seed tube brush (Great Plains part
number 891-259C).
If a brush meter is empty, remove the seed plate and
insert the brush into the seed tube from above. With the
planter raised, you can also insert the brush from below,
with any meter, and whether the meter is empty or not.
