Four types of fluted meter segments are available to handle different products and/or product delivery needs and application rates. The segments are color-coded for easy identification.

· Yellow-Low Rates and granular products: Applying low-rate products like flax, canola, alfalfa.

· Black (Standard Equipment)-Regular Rates: For seeds up to 6 mm (0.25 in.) diameter. Most commonly used roller for wheat, barley and small soybeans.

· Green-High-Volume Rates: Applying high-rate products such as fertilizer and soybeans larger than 6 mm (0.25 in.) diameter.

· Blue-Very High Rates: Applying very high rates of products such as fertilizer up to 260 lb/ac and metering very large seeds.

To change segments and application rate:

1. Remove meter cartridge assembly from housing.

2. Remove cap screw (C) and sensor signal ring (D) from shaft. Remove and retain sensor ring spacers.

NOTE: Handle will need to be returned to original position at assembly to engage lock tab. Note handle position before removing.

3. Remove nuts (A) and handle (B) from tie rods.

4. Remove end cap (E) and seals (F).

IMPORTANT: Before removing enclosures (G) and segments, note their original positions on the shaft. Numbering the enclosures works well. Work systematically from one end of the shaft to the other and BE SURE to return meter segments (with correct

5. Leaving product doors (H) installed on inactive sections, pull enclosures and assembled meter segments (I, J or K) from shaft.

6. Remove meter segments from enclosures. Note location and quantity of fine tuning rings (M).

7. Remove snap ring (N) and bearing plate from beveled end of meter segment.

8. Replace all existing segments with new segments. All segments of the meter assembly MUST be the same color.

NOTE: One end of meter segment is beveled to accept fine tuning rings.

9. Install same number of fine tuning rings on new segments as was found on old. To easily install, soak rings in hot water first and position on beveled end of segment; then drive on with tool (P) A61656. Install bearing plate and snap ring.

10. Place segments in enclosures and return to their original positions on the shaft.

11. Install end parts. Be sure handle is returned to original position.

IMPORTANT: Over tightening tie rod nuts (A) can distort plastic enclosures (G), preventing meter segments (I, J or K) from turning; increases wear on meter cartridge; and causes rod to interfere with sensor ring.

12. Tighten nuts (A) until 1-2 tie-rod threads are visible.
