Wobble Slot Seed Cup Adjustments and Service
The wobble slot seed cups should be checked
against the slot gauge initially and anytime
service has been performed on the seed shaft
or individual seed cups.
To verify that all seed cups are set the same on
the shaft, start with all cups fully closed. A
slight crack between the cup halves would be
considered normal tolerance. If any individual
cup is not “zeroed out”, open slot width using
the adjusting handle, loosen allen set screws
and adjust to equal others on shaft.
To determine if the gauge is reflecting the
correct seed cup slot width, close the seed
cups using the adjusting handle. Loosen the
nuts which hold the gauge mount to seed cup.
Make sure gauge needle is firmly against the
slot half and secure gauge plate to read zero.
Turn adjusting handle counter clockwise to
open slot to desired width
. (Refer to seed rate
charts pages 15 to 18.) Lock adjusting handle
with wing nut.
Small changes in rate can be made by opening
or closing slot width. To close the slot width
with grain in the box, close the slot down a
maximum of 1/8" and then rotate the shaft one
turn to clear the slot. Repeat this process until
the desired slot width is selected.
Seeding rate is affected by seed size, seed
treatments, foreign material, and test weight.
Refer to seed rate charts as guidelines for
desired seeding rates.
Chain Tension on Drive Shaft
When making sprocket changes to the seed
shaft, tighten chain to leave approximately 1/2"
of flex. The final sprocket must allow the hex
shaft to slide within the sprocket when the
adjusting handle is turned. If the chain is too
tight, bowing and binding of box end will occur
making seed cup adjustment difficult. Lightly
lubricate the shaft where the sprocket will slide.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CHAIN.
