6. Inspect gap (C) between seed disk and housing, then spin disk in housing.

NOTE: The seed disk should turn smoothly with light contact or a small gap between the seed disk and the meter housing. Turn seed disk by hand and check gap between seed disk and meter housing. Seed should not leak around circumference of meter.

When planting small seed such as sorghum or sugar beets, the seed disk must lightly contact meter housing to prevent seed leakage.

7. Readjust hub, if necessary.
