Ezee Glide Plus Lubricant
To maximize performance of Great Plains metering
systems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus”
lubricant. “Ezee Glide Plus” Talc + Graphite lubricant is
mandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculated
seed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant is
required.
Recommended Usage:
For clean seeds other than milo, cotton, and sunflowers
sprinkle
1 ⁄
4
cup of Ezee Glide Plus per bushel or unit
(60 ml per 35 liters) of seed.
For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the application to
1 ⁄
2
cup (or more) per bu or unit (120 ml per 35 liters) of
seed.
For canola or mustard, 1 cup (240 ml) per 30 pound
(13.6 kg) bag is a minimum starting value. Mix the seed
lubricant early during the seed loading. Use more
lubricant in extremely dry conditions.
Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds become
coated while avoiding an accumulation of lubricant in the
bottom of the hopper.
For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid planting
environments, increase the rate as needed for smooth
meter operation.
Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:
Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body to
mix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring and
mixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard.
May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in high
concentrations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dusting
during clean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury.
Product can become slippery when wet.
