Volumetric Seeding
These instructions explain how to operate and calibrate
the Air-Pro
®
No. 1 84 cell volumetric seed disk.
For detailed instructions, refer to the DICKEY-john ®
Quick Start Guide Planter Operation, or the
DICKEY-john
® IntelliAg ® Planter/Drill Control Operator’s
Manual.

Prepare Meters
Possible Chemical Hazard:
Seed disks will have talc and graphite residue, and may have
residue of hazardous seed treatments. Wear gloves when
handling seed disks. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for any treated seeds recently planted.
Refer to the planter Operator’s Manual for detailed clean
out instructions.
1. Clean out the seed meters.
2. Remove and store the current seed disks.
3. Inspect the brushes and clean as necessary.
When planting with the volumetric disk, a very small
percentage of grain may be lost out the opening at the
back of the seed tube. If the amount of loss is more than
you desire the grain shield can be installed to stop this.
If necessary, order the grain shield using the part number
403-596A VOLUMETRIC METER GRAIN SHIELD.

NOTE:
It is highly recommended that the grain shield be removed
from the meter when going back to larger singulated seed.
To install the grain shield:
1. Remove the strip and block brush assembly. Save
the washer for reuse in step 3.
2. Remove the
5
/
16
inch hex-headed bolt and discard. It
is replaced with the
5
/
16
inch button head cap screw.
3. Position the grain shield (1) and reinstall with the
5
/
16
inch button head cap screw (2) and saved
washer.
4. Re-install the strip and block brush assembly.
5. Install the volumetric disks as you would any other
seed disk.
6. Set the seed inlet shutter on each meter. See the
rate charts for your crop for suggested initial values.
 Configure Ground Drive(s)
For hydraulic drive planters, continue at “ Hydraulic
Drive ” on page 93.
Configure the ground drive according to the chart and
rate selected on the seed rate charts (beginning on
page 98). See “ Configure Ground Drive(s) ” on page 90
for details on sprocket adjustment.
If the planter has more than one driving gauge or contact
wheel, be sure to set all drives identically.
 Meter Pressurization
Due to delivery of multiple seeds per disk cell, a
volumetric crop requires a specific value of disk
pressurization.
•
2.0 inches of water Hard Red Winter (HRW)
• 2.5 inches of water Soft Red Winter (SRW)
Do not operate below 2.0 inches of water
Note the suggested initial meter pressure. Have this
value at hand in the tractor cab.
