NOTE: See "Check Seed Population" on page 2-26 for more information. Always field check seed population to
ensure planting rates are correct.
NOTE: Singulator settings are marked from 0 - 3.
NOTE: Mixing seed sizes and shapes affects meter performance. Use consistent seed size and shape.
NOTE: Use 1 tablespoon powdered graphite with each standard hopper fill of seed. Seed treatment, foreign
material, dirt or seed chaff may cause gradual reduction of seed disc fill (population). See “Additives” pages
for more information.
NOTE: Excessive seed treatment, humidity, and light-weight seed can affect meter performance. Use ½ cup
(118 ml) of talc with each standard hopper fill of seed and mix thoroughly to coat all seeds and adjust rates as
needed. Use of talc aids seed flow into meter, singulation, and disc seed drop.
NOTE: Foreign material in seed disc orifices, such as seed chips, hulls, stems, etc., may affect seed delivery.
Clean seed ensures accurate seed metering from vacuum seed meter. Remove Seed discs daily to check for
buildup of foreign material in seed disc orifices.
Air inlet screens allow air to enter system and aids in keeping field residue or other foreign material out of meter.
