Operating Instructions

This section covers general operating procedures. It

assumes that setup items have been completed for both

air cart and implement.

Experience, machine familiarity and the following

information will lead to efﬁcient operation and good

working habits. Always operate farm machinery with

safety in mind.

General Description

Seed metering is powered by a cart tire and driven at a

rate proportional to distance traveled. Each seed bin is

self-contained and has its own metering device. The

seed bins are sealed and held at the same pressure as

the meter boxes so metering is controlled

mechanically–not by air-ﬂow ﬂuctuations. The metered

seed is carried by air through the hoses to the

distribution towers on the implement. These towers then

divide the air and seed into individual rows.

The metering devices are driven through an

electromagnetic clutch. The clutch only engages if the

implement is lowered, operating an adjustable lift switch.

Seed metering is shut off automatically when the drill is

lifted for headland turns.

Pre-Start Checklist

“Maintenance and Lubrication” on page 74.
