Changing Row Spacing

Should new or different seeding equipment be used with cart, or if row spacing is changed, one-way clutch sprocket (A) should be inspected to ensure that tooth count agrees with row spacing. Tooth count is stamped into sprocket for easy identification.

NOTE: Chain length may need to be adjusted when sprockets are changed. Add or remove chain links as necessary.

Following items should be inspected and updated if seeding equipment or row spacing is changed, or if a product change is planned.

• Add primary air runs to cart to agree with seeding runs. Remove manifold seals from newly activated runs or reconfigure manifold to agree with new application.
• Reconfigure meter cartridge assemblies by:

1. Removing or installing enclosure doors to agree with number and position of active primary air runs.

2. Add product handling segments to empty enclosures to agree with newly activated runs. Also install agitators above newly activated segments.

3. Changing meter segments to meet desired product application rates.

4. Removing or installing fine tuning rings on meter segments to agree with number of secondary header ports.

5. Reset cart monitor and control system with current information.
