‘Renovator Mk4’
Read Before Calibration
Components Referred to in the Pre-Calibration Setup and Calibration Process
The following pages describe how to set the machine up for calibration, the calibration process and
subsequent adjustments to obtain the desired seed and/or fertilizer output.
Terms and words used in those instructions are shown below:-
‘Left’
and
‘Right’
on the machine are with respect to the direction of forward travel.
Shutter Slides
The varying flow properties of seeds require different shutter
slide positions which may be found in the Sowing Chart for the
individual type of seed or fertilizer. This corresponds to one of
the three settings as shown.
Bottom Flap Settings
The various seed sizes require matching bottom flap clearances
below the metering wheel. The adjusting plate allows for 10
different settings. The required position for the seed type may
be found in the Sowing Chart. The control levers are located
on the LH end of the seedbox, (opposite end to the electric
motors).
Number “1” corresponds to the minimum (closed) position and
“10” the maximum gap.

Metering Wheel - Sowing Fine Seeds
For sowing fine seeds the Renovator Mk4 is equipped as
standard with a combined normal and fine seed “Elite” metering
wheel, 1.
During grain sowing and other larger varieties of seed both the
normal and fine seed metering wheels are coupled and both rotate.
In order to convert the seed drill to sow fine seed, rotate the box
shaft clockwise until the holes of the fine seed wheel, 2, are
visible. This is achieved by pressing and releasing the priming
switch thus instructing the electric motors to rotate the seed
shaft. By trial and error the holes can be located.
Using the tool supplied, 3, disengage the the pin inside the
hole so that the normal metering wheel rotates freely on the
metering shaft.
At this time it would be advisable to close any shutter slides
not required for the fine seed sowing.
When seed is to be sown again using the normal metering wheel
press the pin, from the normal metering wheel side (opposite
direction to before), using the tool, back into the hole of the fine
seed wheel thus reconnecting the drive between the two.
