Troubleshooting

Seed Pool Recovery

When a meter has been starved of seed, back-flow of air

through the open shutter reduces delivery air flow. This

causes seed delivery to be slow. If you start or resume

planting with an empty seed pool, the delivery flow may

be too low to keep the meter supplied. The steps below

quickly “prime” the meter by rebuilding the seed pool.

Refer to Figure 126 (which depicts a recovery after an 

incidence of bridging at air release screen)

1. Close the shutter . This stops the air back-flow.
2. Clear the bridge  or blockage that caused the

meter to run empty.

3. With the fan running, listen for seed  to fall into the

inlet.

4. Wait for seed fall  to taper off and stop.
5. Open the shutter  to the operating setting.
6. Start or resume planting.
