Machine Operation
There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. Spring tension is factory preset and normally
requires no adjustment.
Basic setting for spring tension is approximately 200 lb (90.72 kg) of down force at tire contact point.
NOTE: Measurement must be taken in planting position with proper tire pressure.

Seed rate transmissions allow simple, rapid changes of sprockets to obtain
desired planting population. By removing lynch pins on hexagon shafts,
sprockets can be interchanged with those from the sprocket storage rod
bolted to the transmission.
Chain tension is controlled by a spring-loaded dual-sprocket idler. The idler
assembly is equipped with an easy-release idler arm to remove spring
tension for replacing sprockets.
Planting rate charts in the Seed Meter Operation section will aid you in
selecting correct sprocket combinations.
