Kasco 750 Seeder - Manual (Page 5)

SEED-GATE OPENING CONTROL:
1. THE WIDTH OF THE SEED-GATE OPENING IS CONTROLLED BY THE SEED GAUGE (PART #146) WHICH IS BOLTED TO THE
CIRCULAR PLATE (PART #144) AND THE SEED GAUGE IS MARKED IN 1/8" MARKINGS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. (SEE FIGURE
#1) IF THE SEED GAUGE MOVED BACK 1/2" FROM 0, THE SEED-GATE OPENING WILL LIKEWISE OPEN 1/2". A GOOD WAY TO
CHECK THE SEED-GATE OPENING FOR ACCURACY IS TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OF THE DESIRE FRACTION OF AN INCH
BETWEEN THE SEED-GATE AND THE EDGE OF THE BASE PLATE (PART #144) DOWN INSIDE THE HOPPER. FOR EXAMPLE, A
1/8" DRILL BIT PLACED BETWEEN THE SEED-GATE AND THE BASE PLATE EDGE SHOULD CORRESPOND TO THE FIRST MARK
SETTING ON THE SEED GAUGE.
2. THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY (PART #212) IS SPRING-LOADED WITH AN OVER-CENTER DESIGN AND WHEN PUSHED, IT WILL
CLOSE THE SEED-GATE AND WHEN PULLED IT WILL OPEN THE SEED-GATE. THE DOUBLE NUTTED BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE
HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO THE SEED-GATE LINKAGE SHOULD NOT BE TIGHTENED BECAUSE IT MUST MOVE FREELY IN THE
SEED-GATE LINKAGE SLOT TO WORK PROPERLY.
3. WHEN BROADCASTING SMALL SEED AT SMALL AMOUNTS PER ACRE, YOU CAN ORDER THE OPTIONAL SPECIAL SEED-GATE
TO GET TO FINER AMOUNTS. THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS SEED GATE IS 149S AND IT HAS TEETH BUILT ON THE EDGE TO
RESTRICT THE SEED FLOW AND CONTROL THE FLOW TO MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS. CALL THE FACTORY FOR MORE
INFORMATION AT 574-753-6311.
