Final Drive Ranges
Entanglement Hazard
Do not operate the machine with meter
guards removed.
The metering shaft is driven by the agitator shaft (1)
through a pair of gears (2), (3). The positioning of
these gears creates two final drive ranges.
Each seed rate chart is based on a specific final
drive range. The ranges are:
High range, which is used for larger seeds and
higher seeding rates
Low range, which is used for smaller seeds and
lower seeding rates
Changing Final Drive Range Gears
1. Remove the pins (4) from both shafts.
2. Remove and position the gears as suggested in
3. Install the pins in the shafts.
Gear Sets for S/N
There are two sets of gears for each meter:
1. A 10DP profile, 54 tooth to 36 tooth, that is
installed at the factory.
2. A 8DP profile, 54 tooth to 17 tooth, that can be
used for higher rates.
When not used, the gears can be stored in the tool
box.
