Meter Maintenance

Cleaning Out Meters

Cleanout is indicated for:

• changing seed wheels,

• seed recovery, and;

• ﬁeld meter maintenance.

On 10HDP Series Singulator Plus meters, the clean-out

door enables seed to bypass the seed wheel and exit via

the normal seed tube between the opener discs.

1. Place a tarp, bucket or pan under meter to catch any

seed during cleanout.

Refer to Figure 59

2. Slide the retaining ring up and remove the seed

hose .

Refer to Figure 60

3. Remove the cleanout door retaining pin clip .

Refer to Figure 61

4. Remove the retaining pin . The door may swing

open by itself at this point.

5. Pull the clean-out door handle back until the lower

end of the door rests on the stop bolt.

Note: How freely seed ﬂows out the cleanout depends on

the seed size, shape and treatments. It is common-

ly necessary to gently tap or shake the meter to en-

sure complete ﬂow.

6. When seed stops ﬂowing, uncouple the meter drive

(page 46), spin the seed wheel in reverse (counter-

clockwise) to free any trapped seed.

7. Remove the seed meter wheel for thorough cleaning.

See “Meter Wheel Replacement” on page 46 for

more information.

8. Use a brush or vacuum to remove any residual seed

in the meter cavity. Shake the cleanout door to

ensure it is clear of seed.
