Replace or Clean The BrushBelt™ Cartridge Components

  1. NOTE: Periodically clean the seed sensor area inside BrushBelt™. Dusty conditions or heavily treated seed cause an excessive buildup of dust and seed treatment inside the BrushBelt™ ,which blocks the seed sensor. When the seed sensor becomes blocked, false low population counts or false low limit warnings appear.
