Lubrication and Maintenance
Important:
It is important to thoroughly clean the seeder after use. Failure to do so can cause irreparable dam-
age to the seed cups and drive system. Grease and turn the Seed adjustment handle to ensure grease lubricates
the threads.
There are a few ways to clean out the hoppers:
•
Each hopper is equipped with a cleanout spout in the front of each hopper.
•
The rear hopper is equipped with a quick release lever located under the center of the hopper. By pulling
down the lever, all the hopper tongues will open and cause the seed/fertilizer to drop out of each of the
seed cups.
•
Each seed cup can be emptied individually by pulling the cotter pin on the side of the cup and dropping
down the hopper tongue.
Changing Discs
Important:
When replacing the discs, it is extremely important to remember that one of the disc hubs has left
hand threads and the other right hand threads. The threads can be stiped if removed improperly. Left side hub,

Step 1: Remove the dust cap.
Step 2: Remove the external scraper dust cap.
Step 3: Remove hub nuts.
Step 4: Unscrew the hub from the disc support.
Step 5: Replace the discs and reassemble.
1 Hour
Check all fasteners and hardware including set screws in sprockets and bearing collars and re-
tighten as necessary.
8 Hours
Grease bearings on roller and apply grease to torsion bar wheel mechanism.
As needed:
Remove any crop residue, grasses, weeds, or debris wrapped around shaft discs or rollers. This
can cause bearings to overheat and lead to premature failure.
Always:
Protect the machine from weather. NEVER leaver fertilizer in hopper. Do not leave seed in
hopper for more than 24 hours. Remove all fertilizer and seeds from hopper. Thoroughly clean
hoppers and lubricate all drive chains before storage.
Important:
When replacing the discs, it is extremely important to remember that
the left disc hub has reverse (LH) threads. The right disc hub has normal (RH)
threads. If turned incorrectly, they can strip.
