Seed Flap Replacement

Refer to Figure 21

To replace a seed flap

, use needle nose pliers or

similar tool to grasp “T” top of flap. Pull upward to remove
flap from metal bracket

Push new seed flap

down through metal bracket

until flap snaps into place with “T” top resting on top of
bracket.

If a Seed-Lok

or Keeton

seed firmer is also installed, it

may be necessary to shorten the flap.

Chain Maintenance

Initially check the drive chains after the first 10 hours of
drill use. The slack of new chains tends to increase
during the first few hours of operation due to seating.
Thereafter, check the chains every 100 hours.

Lubricate chains any time there is a chance of moisture,
and when being stored at the end of the planting season.

Chain Slack

Refer to Figure 22, which, for clarity, greatly exaggerates
slack, and omits the idlers.

Measure the span

for allowable slack:

Locate the longest span of each chain (usually the
span which does not run through the idlers).

Determine the ideal slack:
Long chains (over 36 inches / 91 cm):

in. per ft (21 mm/m)

Vertical short chains:

in. per ft (21 mm/m)

Horizontal short chains:

in. per foot (42 mm/m).

Measure the current slack

Acting at a right angle to the chain span at the center
of the span, deflect the chain in both directions. The
slack is the distance of the movement.

Adjust the idlers for ideal slack.

Whenever mounting a chain, make sure the clip at the
removable link is oriented to minimize snags.

Refer to Figure 23 (arrow shows chain direction)

Install clip with open end facing away from direction of
chain travel (shown by gray or striped arrows in chain
routing diagrams).
