Feed Motor
The feed motor can be turned ON or OFF from either manually via the head unit touch screen, or
automatically by the remote mounted spring finger switch which can be fitted to the linkage or the
implement. The feed motor must be switched ON via the head unit for the spring finger switch to
work automatically.
Note. See the separate instructions for the spring finger switch.
Hopper Agitator
The internal agitator is powered independently by
a separate motor. Its purpose is to prevent seed
becoming compacted in the hopper and bridging
(not flowing). We recommend
it is used for all
grass and grass seed mixes , or other seed that
may bridge in the hopper, but it is not required
for free flowing seeds such as OSR, clover,
stubble turnips or similar, or granular products. If
you use the agitator in the field, also use it when
calibrating
. It is turned ON or OFF using the head
unit.
Refer to the RDS manual , Section 3.3 Applicator
setup, page 26, Agitator Motor – select ON or OFF
as required.
FEED ROLLS
General Description: Two sizes of feed roll are supplied as standard, the Turbo Jet is supplied with
both.
Small Seed Rolls –narrow 5mm wide rolls for rape, mustard, turnips, etc. Between 1 and 3 of these
are used per outlet, in combination with the 5mm spacers, to provide low rate application of small
seeds.
Grass Seed Rolls –wide 8 section rolls for high rate grass seeding. Normally 1 of these is used per
outlet to provide high rate grass seeding.
Note: Other seed rolls may be available for different seeds and rates, please contact our office for
advice.
The rolls are easily changed by removing the feed mechanism as follows:
Note. Empty the hopper completely before doing this. A
small amount of seed may remain in the rolls, to prevent
spillage release the two over-centre catches and drop the
hinged panel under the feed rolls and position the plastic
collection tray directly underneath to catch any seed.
Undo and remove the 2 black plastic knobs holding the
mechanism in place and slide the complete feed block
assembly out. Undo and remove the 4 socket head screws
on the end of the housing and remove the end plate. Slide
the rolls and spacers off the shaft, and replace with the
alternative rolls and spacers as shown. Refit the end plates,
ensure the drive shaft engages correctly, and slide the
completed feed block back into place and secure with the
black plastic knobs.
