Section 3: Seeding Adjustments
Seed Rate Speed Change
The seed rate speed change is designed to give you two
speeds for different types of seeds and rates. The two
drive speeds are high range (fast speed) and low range
(slow speed). To change the drive type and chain pitch
from High Range to Low Range, 8 pitches will need to be
removed from chain.

Seed Cup Settings
Each seed cup is equipped with a four-position gate. The
highest gate handle position shown is for small seeds,
the second and third positions are for larger seeds. The
forth position (Handle rotated fully down below the
bottom tab) sets the gate at wide open to allow complete
clean-out of seed cup.
Seed rate charts are based on the gate handle being set
in the highest position. Typically, most seeds will use the
highest gate handle position. If using larger seed and it is
not discharging properly, you can try using the other two
gate handle positions.

IMPORTANT:
Most applications for this seeder
require the gate handle be placed in the highest
position.
MAKE SURE
all gate handles are in the same
position before seeding.
Do Not
set gate handles in the fourth position and
seed rate adjustment lever to the widest open
position (See Figure 3-4 on page 15) with seed in the
box unless complete clean out is desired
