Inspect Finger Pick-Up Meter Seed Belt
IMPORTANT:
When installing belt, ensure that it is centered in the meter. Lower roller pitch can be adjusted by loosening the hardware on belt housing. Move cover up and down using flat screwdriver in the gap between cover and belt driver.
Seed delivery belt and driver should be replaced when wear is observed. If belt is worn (holes are elongated), or stiff, it can affect placement of seed to the seed tube. Replace belt driver wheel when driver tabs show sharp edges. Sharp edges can "hook" the belt, causing a vibration in the belt area of the meter and effect seed spacing.
Remove cap screws (A) and belt housing cover (B).
