OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before running, fill engine and blower with recommended oil and gasoline. To
prolong engine and blower life, always allow the engine to run at fast idle for at
least (1) minute before running at full throttle. In operation the engine must run at
full throttle for satisfactory performance of the seed system.
2. The switch mounted on the cyclone controls the rotation of the airlock, powered by
the 12 volt motor. Correct airlock rotation is toward the brush.
DANGER: BEWARE OF UNEXPECTED START UP BY ANOTHER PERSON.
3. Adjust slide door opening on seed box so as to keep hopper full but not
overflowing. It is advisable to close slide door and empty hopper before
transporting the unit. Seed left in the airlock and exposed to moisture could swell
and damage the airlock assembly.
4. Adjust the slide gate in bottom of hopper to maximum opening without overloading
the engine and blower. To determine the operating rate of the Seed Jet II,
straighten out the stainless hose and run it back into where you are running seed
out. Pull the throttle up to full throttle and turn the airlock on. Gently pull the slide
gate out until you notice the engine start to pull down or the hose to jump. Set at
a rate where the motor and hose will run and operate smoothly. NOTE: The type
of seed you use will determine where you set your rate.
5. Always shut off airlock and allow hose to clear of grain before throttling down the
engine and shutting off the whole system.
NOTE: There is a time delay from turning off the switch to when the material quits
flowing from the cyclone, some practice may be necessary for precise filling of
seed boxes.
