Replacing Sensors 
 

The most common issue customer’s encounter with parts on their needle 

seeder is an air fitting called a “sensor”. These sometimes need to be 

replaced, but life expectancy can vary greatly.  
 

Before replacing a sensor, clean the area with the air gun on the operator’s 

right side of the control panel to make sure there is no debris or 

contaminant on or in the tubing. Attach the provided label marked “P” to 
the air tube leading to the “P” section on the sensor before removing, as 

this will ensure the airlines can be replaced into the correct section after 

installation. 
 

Remove the air tubes by pressing the black ring at the end of the sensor 

fitting and gently pull away. These can sometimes be stiff.  
With the use of a wrench, remove the sensor from the cylinder and replace 

with a new sensor. It is not necessary to use thread lock on the fitting from 

the sensor to the air cylinder.  

 
Replace tubing ENSURING the line you have previously marked with “P” 

goes back into the “P” section of the sensor.
