Seed Meter Setup and Adjustment
The only seed meter adjustments are for the seed
inlet gate and a choice of disks.
Seed Metering Rain Cover
The rain cover keeps side winds from unseating
seed in disk pockets. It also keeps precipitation,
sunlight, and field debris out of the meters. A
knockout brush on the inside of the cover brushes
loose seeds off the seed disk.
To remove the rain cover, unsnap the latches (1 and
2). Pivot the cover forward and down at the tab (3)
and remove.
When removing a cover, inspect it for damage and
missing parts. If a cover does not have both latches it
can be lost during transport or field operations. Also,
inspect the knockout brush for wear.
To replace a latch, slide the replacement latch onto
the cover lugs from the meter side, then snap the
other end down over the lugs.
To replace the knockout brush, See “
Knockout
Brush Replacement ” on page 58.
Seed Inlet Gate Adjustment
The seed inlet gate (4) controls the volume of bulk
seed at the seed disk. The settings vary with crop,
seed size, and seed treatment. The gate has settings
for row and seed treatment. The gate has settings for
row shut-off (completely closed), and clean-out (wide
open).
The seed rate charts include suggested initial gate
settings. Refine these settings based on experience,
and the slope of the seed pool at the bottom of the
seed disk.
