IMPORTANT:
Some insecticide-treated seed may be coated with commercially applied graphite. It is important that the recommended amount of graphite be added in addition to graphite already on the seed.
IMPORTANT:
Graphite will filter down into finger pick-up mechanism and insure proper lubrication. John Deere Graphite provides a dry lubrication. Some types have an oil base and will form a gummy residue on parts. Graphite does not eliminate need for proper and regular lubrication indicated in lubrication charts.

NOTE:
If graphite is building up in bottom of hopper, reduce amount accordingly.
Regular Seed:
Add 15 mL (1 Tbls.) of powdered graphite (part No. B33379) into each 58 L (1.6 bu) hopper at each refill. Double the amount if using 106 L (3 bu) hoppers.
Insecticide Treated Seed:
Add 15 mL (1 Tbls.) of powdered graphite for each bushel of seed added into hopper. Every seed should be visibly grey when coated properly.
