Feeder Bowl Alignment
The feeder bowl should be aligned such that the gap between the discharge area of the bowl and the
diverter chute is approximately 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). See Figure 7-3 Item 9. If a sharp knocking occurs,
STOP feeder immediately. The gap may be set too small.

Adjusting Bowl Devices
The Track Width Slide (Figure 7-3 Item 7) should be adjusted (it is held in place with nylon set screws and
may be moved without tools) in or out to accommodate various seed sizes. It should be set to allow only a
single file of seeds to pass.
The Track Wiper (Figure 7-3 Item 4) should be adjusted slightly higher than the seeds. It is intended to
return seeds to feeder bowl when they tend to ride "Piggyback" or travel on edge of track.
(1) Bottom Guide - Advances seeds from center of bowl (ten inch bowl only)
(2) Bowl Seed Track - Seeds are moved upwards to discharge area
