Buildup of debris or chaff may prevent proper finger operation and requires disassembly and cleaning of finger pickup
meter.

1. Remove cotter pin, cover nut and adjusting nut and wave washer (If applicable) from drive shaft.

2. Carefully lift finger holder with fingers and cam off shaft and clean.

3. Check brush for wear and replace if necessary or after every 100 acres per row of operation (Approximately 800

acres of corn or sunflowers on a 8 row machine or 1200 acres on an 12 row machine).

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove finger holder to replace brush.

4. Remove springs from fingers and remove finger from holder by lifting it out of friction fit slot. Life expectancy of

these parts is about 600-900 acres per row of operation under average conditions.

5. Reassemble meter in reverse order after cleaning and replacing defective parts. Make sure open end of spring

loop is toward inside of finger holder when replacing fingers.

notch in bearing housing to ensure proper operation when assembled.
