1. Refer to meter cartridge and seeding tool diagrams in seeding tool operator's manual to identify how many rows are connected to each primary. The tool in this example has four primary towers connected to top shoot and four connected to bottom shoot. The primary numbers represent tower placement. The values entered are for the number of secondaries.

IMPORTANT: System performs best if lightest product is in front tank and heaviest product is in rear tank.

NOTE: Both top and bottom primaries appear for double shoot. Only bottom primaries appear for single shoot.

NOTE: Smaller air carts only offer front and rear tank selection.

2. Select and check the front (C), middle (D), and rear (E) tank check boxes to indicate which tanks feed top (A) and bottom (B) primaries.

3. Select each primary input box (F) and enter the number of rows connected to that primary tower.

4. Select Enter button to lock the values.
