Canola Seeding
These instructions explain how to plant with the 150 and
250 cell canola seed disks. These disks are suitable for
canola and mustard (not pelletized).
Although a canola disk reliably singulates these very
small seeds, this class of seeds is too small to be reliably
detected and counted with currently available seed tube
sensors. This situation presently requires a special seed
monitor setup: singulated with blockage detection.
Yield-Pro
®
planters manufactured in November 2013
and later have Air-Pro
®
Seed Meters and seed tubes
that are compatible with the canola disks. Planters
manufactured earlier may be updated with a 403-684A
update kit. See page 107 for installation instructions.
To determine if your planter is canola-compatible, inspect
any row unit seed tube. If the seed tube color is dark
translucent red, it is compatible. If the tube color is
opaque buckskin (tan), the row units require an update.
 Prepare Meters
See the planter Operator Manual for step details.
1. Remove rain covers on all rows.
2. Clean out the planter seed system, from hoppers to
meter brushes.
3. Remove and save the presently installed seed disks.
4. Install the canola disks.
5. Install the rain covers.
 Loading Seed
Use ample Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant with small
seeds such as canola and mustard.
•
One cup (240 ml) per 30 pound (13.6 kg) bag is a
minimum starting value.
• Mix the seed lubricant early during the seed loading
and mix well.
• Use more lubricant in extremely dry conditions.
 Canola Initial Meter Pressurization
150 Cell Disk
2 inches of water
Initial seed inlet shutter: 1.5
Run a test strip and check seeds per row foot.
•
If seeds per row foot are low, increase pressure.
• if seeds per row foot are high, decrease pressure.
Pressure may range from 1.5 to 2.5 inches of water.
250 Cell Disk
1.5 inches of water
Initial seed inlet shutter: 1.5
Run a test strip and check seeds per row foot.
•
If seeds per row foot are low, increase pressure.
• if seeds per row foot are high, decrease pressure.
Pressure may range from 1 to 2 inches of water.

Configure Monitor
This setup requires User Level 2 access on the AI100 or
AI120 seed monitor, which is password-protected.
For detailed instructions, refer to the DICKEY-john
®
Manual.
Hydraulic Drive
1. Navigate to Control Setup and then the Material
Setup screen.
2. Select an available default MATRL to redefine as
Canola, or select an existing named material to
rename.
3. Select the material name to edit it to canola. The
population ranges and rpm limits are given by the
charts beginning on page 77.
4. The following table lists the parameters that need to
be reviewed or set. <angle bracket> values are your
choice/preference when not from the meter rpm
charts.
5. Select More for the next screen.
