Central Seed System
Recommended Settings and Procedures
Use of seed lubricant is required for all seeds for
proper delivery to the vacuum seed meters.
Talc is
the only lubricant recommended for use with the system.
Mix talc thoroughly with seed to ensure even coating of
all seed.
Do not use hands to mix talc. Use proper
respiratory protection when handling talc.

seed treatments. Use proper skin, eye, and respiratory
protection.
Do not attempt to pressurize the tank with
the lid removed.
Settings
Mix talc as recommended:
For season start-up: Without seed in the tank, add 10
cups of talc per tank, spread it across the bottom of the
tank, seal the tank, and turn on blower fan to coat the
inside of the tank and delivery hoses.
First tank with seed: 1 cup talc per 2 bu. of seed
Regular use: Sprinkle talc as seed is added to the tank
in the following rates:
Corn, soybeans, cotton: 1 cup talc per 3 bushels of seed
(1 cup per 3 units seed corn)
Milo, rice: 1 cup talc per 2 bushels of seed
Excessive humidity, large seed, or heavy seed
treatment:
Double the regular usage rate. Adjust the rate
of talc as needed for varying conditions. Level the hopper
with a stiff bristled broom.
Setting Tank Pressure with Blower Fan
The central seed tanks must be pressurized to the correct
pressure settings for the system to work correctly. To
adjust tank pressure, adjust the hydraulic flow from the
tractor remote going to the hydraulic blower fan. Usually
this can be done from the tractor cab.
A hydraulic poppet valve is included in the system to cut
hydraulic flow to the blower when the planter is raised.
The valve is triggered by an implement lift switch. The
same switch will control the tank agitator motors, on or off.

An over-running valve is included in the hydraulic system
to prevent damage to the blower fan or hydraulics system
when the hydraulic flow to the blower fan hydraulic is shut
off.
