Seed Flap Replacement
To replace a seed flap (1):
1. Use a needle nose pliers or similar tool to grasp
the
T
at the top of the flap.
2. Pull up to pull the flap up out of the metal bracket
(2).
3. Push the new seed flap down through the metal
bracket until the flap snaps into place with the
T
top resting on top of the bracket.
Chains
Chain Lubrication
Lubricate chains any time there is a chance of
moisture, and when being stored at the end of the
planting season. Use a multi-purpose spray
lubricant.
Chain Slack
Initially check the drive chains after the first 8 hours of
drill use. The new chain slack tends to increase
during the first few hours of operation due to seating.
After the first 8 hours, check the chains seasonally.
1. Measure the span (1) for allowable slack:
Locate the longest span of each chain (usually
the span which does not run through the idlers).
2. Determine the ideal slack:
3. Measure the current slack (2):
At a right angle to the chain span at the center of
the span, deflect the chain in both directions. The
slack is the distance of the movement.
4. Adjust the idlers for ideal slack.
Chain Clips
Whenever mounting a chain, make sure the clip at
the removable link is positioned to minimize snags.
Install the clip with the open end facing away from the
direction of chain travel.
Seed Meter Drive Chain
When performing seasonal checks, lower the planter
to put the chain at minimum idler spring tension.
Lift the spring off the idler assembly. Check that the
idler pivots freely. Re
-
attach the spring.
Lubrication
If any movable parts such as levers, pivots, and
clamps are not moving smoothly due to rust or
hindering material, do not attempt to force parts into
motion. Instead, remove the rust or unwanted
material and apply oil or grease on the relevant spot.
Otherwise, machine may become damaged through
impaired usage.
Grease Fittings
Lubricate with grease at the hourly interval indicated
in the arrow. If you operate the machine in extremely
wet and/or muddy conditions, lubricate grease fittings
more frequently.
