To engage the insecticide and/or herbicide drive, rotate knob (A) until spring-loaded knob engages spring pin in insecticide/herbicide drive shaft.
Most insecticides and herbicides readily accumulate moisture and may damage the granular attachment if allowed to remain in the hopper when the planter is not in use. Even during periods of operation, deposits of insecticide may build up in the hopper and interfere with working parts. Therefore, the hoppers should be checked every day for any material buildup and thoroughly cleaned if planter is not to be used for a period greater than two days. See Service section for cleaning instructions. Use the application rate and meter setting recommended by the chemical manufacturer as a starting point for the meter dial setting. If the meter setting is not available from the chemical manufacturer, use the charts in this section as a starting point for the meter dial setting. IMPORTANT: Because the available chemical materials vary widely in consistency and composition, their "flow-ability" is affected by temperature and humidity conditions. It is important to calibrate each individual meter to the particular chemical being used. To determine the application rate and starting meter setting, proceed as follows: NOTE: Application rates greater than 8 ounces per 1000 feet at 6 miles per hour require installation of the high rate rotor (A50863) in meter. |
