Marker Transport Carrier
When marker is folded, the second section should be
centered in transport carrier saddle and be parallel with
top of drill box.
Refer to Figure 50
To adjust height of saddle, loosen 1 ⁄
2
x2in U-bolts that
hold carrier tube to mounting bracket. Slide carrier tube
up or down as needed.
Seed Box Maintenance
Main Box Cleanout
Refer to Figure 51, which depicts the seed cup door handle
in a normal operating position
.
1. Set the Seed Rate Handle to zero (0) for the section
of the drill to be cleaned out. This moves the seed
cup sprockets out of the seed path.
2. Position a tarp or bucket under each row or set of
rows to be cleaned out.
3. At the seed cup for that row, pull the door handle
out of the operating detent range, and swing it down
to position
.
4. Open the main seed box and use a small brush to
sweep seed toward seed cups set to clean-out. If
seed does not flow freely, inspect seed cup, hose
and seed tubes for obstructions.
5. Wash out the seed box with high pressure water.
Prop the lid slightly open until dry.
It is not necessary to operate the seed meter drive shaft
for clean-out. With the Seed Rate set to zero, nothing
moves inside the seed cups; however, an inspection of
the flutes for excess wear and damage does require
shaft rotation.
Set the Seed Rate Handles to 100. With openers raised,
each gauge wheel can be slowly turned by one person,
while another inspects the flutes from the open seed
boxes.
