Operating Instructions
Before beginning work:
•
Be sure all the seed cups completely close and open the same, so all cups are putting out the exact amount
of seed. If they are not in sync, one cup will put out more than others.
•
Ensure when completely closed, the seeding gears are not protruding from the outside the cup.
•
Adjust the clamps to ensure all cups close and open completely and uniformly.

The Seed cups on the DRL may come with either of
two different style of seed cups or a combination of
both. Typically the front Seed box section is equipped
with a
“ LARGE SEED CUP and the rear section typi-
cally has the LEGUME SEED BOX.
To adjust seed output:
The LARGE SEED front section is usually driven with an 11 - 26 Gear ratio, while the back LEGUME SEED
section is being reduced to put out less with a 12 - 40 Gear Ratio.
