Position the
disc assembly
horizontally and then
apply J. Assy Graphite
Lubricant Spray over the
entire back surface of
the disc
. Wait for it to dry
(disassembling the disc
set is not necessary).
5. Storage:
When not in use, store the crop kit in
its original box for its protection.
6. Cleaning:
When not in use, store the crop kit in its
original box for its protection.
c) The seeds must be correctly lubricated. The use
of dry graphite powder applied on the seeds and
mixed uniformly is essential to make the seeds
move easier inside the meter, reducing skips.

d) Make sure that the vacuum pressure is set correctly.
If skips persist increase working pressure until
skips are reduced as much as possible. Then check
that there are no multiples.
e) Make sure the vacuum seal is in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Excess of SKIPS
Skips are characterized by the lack of seeds in the disc
holes. They can be reduced with the following actions:
a)
Verify that the crop kit has been selected correctly
(information in the topic Crop kit Selection of
this manual.
b)
Check the singulator lobes, see if they are not worn
due to excessive use.
Excess of MULTIPLES
Multiples
are characterized by the presence of two or
more seeds in the same disc hole. Its incidence can be
reduced with the following actions:
a)
Verify that the
crop kit
has been selected
correctly (see topic: Crop kit selection).
b) Check the singulator lobes, see if they are
not worn due to excessive use.
c)
The seeds must be correctly lubricated. The use of
dry graphite powder applied oi the seeds and, mixed
uniformly is essential to make the seeds move easier
inside the meter. In this way, they will be separated
from each other more easily by the singulator.
d)
Make sure that
the vacuum pressure
is set correctly.
If doubles persist, decrease working pressure until
doubles are reduced as much as possible
. Then check
that there are no skips .
