Metering
The metering wheels come in 4 different sizes. Each
wheel matches to a specific distribution head mounted
on the seeding tool.
If the metering wheel and distribution head are not
matched correctly, the distribution accuracy will be
adversely affected.
Spacer plates are used to take up the extra space in
each metering cup. These spacer plates vary in size
according to the size of the metering wheel.
Metering Wheel Replacement
• Close tank Shut-Offs if there is product in tank.
• Remove inspection door and seed plate.
• Clean out any remaining material in the metering
body and meterwheels.
