Appendix B - Canola Field Update
If your planter requires an update, order one of the
following kits per row:
 NOTE:
The kit includes a 150 cell and 250 cell canola seed disk.
 Tools Required
• soft lint-free cloth and non-abrasive window cleaner
• 100% clear silicone sealant
• basic hand tools
• current Parts Manual (401-625P) for parts ID
 Update Preparation
1. Move planter to an area with adequate light, and a
clear surface for recovery of any dropped parts.
2. Perform a seed meter clean-out.
3. For access to center rows, raise and fold planter.
4. Remove rain covers and seed disks from all rows.
See the planter Operator manual for detailed
information.
Perform remaining steps one row at a time, so that you
have unmodified and fully modified rows to compare to.
Starting with the right-most row may be the easiest. On
twin-row, locking up left rows of pairs may ease access.
 Update Brushes
5. Rotate two brush holder snaps (1) securing the
brush holder for the long strip brush (2), short strip
brush (3), and the drop brush (4).
6. Remove and discard the old brushes. Save the
brush holder.

 NOTE:
Older brushes do not meter reliably with the canola disk.
Older brushes cannot be visually distinguished from new
brushes.
8. Select one each:
9. Install strip brushes in holder. Install holder and drop
brush in meter. Ensure strip brushes are seated low
in housing. Secure with snaps and bolts.

tube (6) to the opener shank. This pin is secured by
a cotter pin on the left side (not shown). Save both
pins.

It is not necessary to disconnect the meter chain, hoses or
any sense line tubing.
11. Remove and save two mounting bolts (7) and the
front bolt (8) securing the meter mount to the opener
shank. Loosen the rear bolt.
