It is recommended to operate the Orga metering unit with the nylon insert fitted
for small seeds and cereals in order to prevent potential minor seed rate output
fluctuations when drilling on gradients.
When drilling fertilizer, peas, beans and other similarly large and hard seeds, the
insert should be removed. In this circumstance, the void helps to allow smooth
seed flow.

These tables are to be used as a guideline to assist in setting up the drill. Fine
tuning may be needed depending on environment.
Safety Notices:
• Never operate Sumo ORGA Metering without gear guard in place.
• Never put any fingers into the Sumo ORGA Metering until unit is
isolated from the power. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Key:
* Internal inserts are supplied in long and short lengths. The longer insert
approximately halves the rate that the notched slide lets through its
aperture. They also act as a guide to align the Sumo Orga.
*** The Gears supplied with the Sumo Orga are specifically designed for the
width of Drill that is specified. There will always be a small and a large
gear supplied.
**** Nylon insert not to be used.
