Add one measure (one cap of package) of powdered graphite to each seed box to increase service life of meter.

The above values are approximate values for the stated seed sizes. The operator must always check the seed population and adjust the values, if necessary to obtain better population control. If a slightly larger seed size is selected a slightly greater population will be produced. If a slightly smaller seed size is selected a slightly smaller population will be produced.

IMPORTANT: The assembly must rotate with the minimum of resistance when the cells are loaded with seeds. If the assembly encounters a lot of resistance when rotating then this may mean that the seeds are escaping beneath the assembly. Adjust one position lower (C to B or B to A) and check the seed population in the field.
