Lubrication and Maintenance
7. Check indentations on carrier plate for wear before
installing finger holder on carrier plate. Excessive wear
of carrier plate at indentations will cause over planting
especially with small sizes of seed. Inspect carrier plate
annually. Life expectancy should be 250-300 acres per row
of operation under average conditions.
8. Install wave washer and adjusting nut with finger holder
flush against carrier. Tighten adjusting nut to fully compress
wave washer. Back off nut ½ to 2 flats to obtain rolling
torque of 22 to 25 inch pounds.
9. Turn finger holder by hand to make sure it is firmly against
carrier plate, but can be rotated with moderate force.
10. Install cover nut and cotter pin. Reinstall baffle.
Remove four cap screws around edge of housing cover and nut from belt idler mounting bolt. Paddles must be correctly
oriented as shown above If belt is replaced. A diagram molded into drive sprocket shows correct orientation.
