CLEANING
worn Carrier Plate
7. Before installing finger holder on carrier plate,
check indentations on carrier plate for wear.
Excessive wear of carrier plate at indentations will
cause over planting especially when using small
sizes of seed. Inspect carrier plate annually. Life
expectancy should be 250-300 acres (100-125
hectares) per row of operation under average
conditions.
8. With finger holder flush against carrier, install
wave washer and adjusting nut. Tighten adjusting
nut to fully compress wave washer. Back off nut ½
to 2 flats (1∕12 to ⅓ turn) to obtain rolling torque of
22 to 25 inch pounds (2.5 to 2.8 N-m).
9. Turn finger holder by hand to make sure it is
positioned firmly against carrier plate, but can be
rotated with moderate force.
10. Install cover nut and cotter pin and reinstall
baffle.
NOTE: Check adjusting nut tightness on each unit
after first day of use and periodically thereafter.
Remove four cap screws around edge of housing cover
and nut from belt idler mounting bolt.
