Calibrating Insecticide/Herbicide Meter

If it should ever become necessary to recalibrate the granular meter on the insecticide/herbicide hopper, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the knob on the rear of the hopper to a setting of "10".

2. Remove the hopper and turn it upside down on a flat surface.

3. Check the opening (A) of the "V" notch on the meter gate. The opening should be 4 mm (0.160 in.). If it is, the meter is calibrated correctly. If it is not, adjustment must be made.

4. Remove four M6 x 20 cap screws (A) securing the meter to the hopper (eight cap screws if two meters are used) and remove the meter(s) from the hopper bottom.
