Seed Meters
Meter Doors
Each meter box has two meter doors. Both meter
doors are used for meter clean-out.
The meter doors are closed during transport, loading,
and planting. The meter doors may be open slightly
in storage to allow drainage of condensation.
The meter doors need to be closed and sealed tightly
during planting. Periodically inspect the handles for
proper tension. Inspect the seals for wear.
The meter doors are used for cleaning out the
meter. Do not open the meter doors until
preparations have been made to capture any
material to be reused.
Material Loss / Air Leak Risks
As soon as meter doors are open, any
material present will flow immediately,
possibly in large volume. It is not possible
to close the meter doors with an adequate
air seal until the hopper is empty.
To open the meter doors:
1. Lower the chute (1).
2. Rotate the front handle (2) all the way down to
open the front meter door.
3. Rotate the rear handle (3) all the way to the rear
to open the rear meter door.
