Finger Meter Inserts
Refer to Figure 78
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.
IMPORTANT !
Be cautious in using seed treatments, additives, and
other chemicals when possible. They can cause meter
performance problems and premature wear to meter
parts. Avoid the use of graphite with the precision
meter. If graphite must be used, use Precision™ Plant-
ing graphite or Great Plains graphite which is less abra-
sive. Generally, seeds coated with Maxi or similar
coatings, such as Captan, benefit from graphite.
Always store meters in a dry, secure place. Moisture,
temperature, nest-building insects and rodents can cre-
ate problems. Always pay attention to your seed moni-
tor and operating manual. Monitor the amount of seed
you are planting compared to your expectations.
Always investigate abnormalities!
