Resetting Fluted Feed Cups

    Reset cups whenever:

  • Cup has been removed from drill.
  • Cup has been knocked out of position.
  • Quantity of seed sown varies from cup to cup.
  • Quantity of seed sown does not agree with chart.

Reset as follows:

1. Set feed shifter to "0" notch. Adjust shifter lever as far left as possible and return it to "0" notch to equalize spring pressure.

If shifter will not line up with "0", loosen cap screws (A) and adjust face plate.

2. Move latch (A) downward off its retaining teeth.

3. Start at master feed cup (first feed cup on each side of shifter lever) and loosen cap screws holding feed cup to box bottom.

4. Move feed cup until end of feed roll (B) is flush with inside surface of seed retainer ring (C) on lower radius of seed reservoir. Reset all feed cups in same manner, beginning with master feeds and working in both directions. Tighten cap screws on each feed cup as soon as resetting is complete.

5. Recheck adjustment by moving feed shaft shifter through full index setting range; then move lever past notch "0" and return to "0". Recheck to make sure all feed rolls are flush at lower radius to feed cup.

6. Close seed gates to desired setting, making sure all gates are in identical position.
