Troubleshooting
SEED METER (EDGEVAC) - Continued
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Not planting seed. (Continued) Seed baffle (If Applicable) not allowing seed flow due to bridging of seed. Thoroughly mix talc to coat all seeds.
Remove seed baffle. See “Seed Meter” in Seed Meter Operation/
Maintenance section.
60 cell soybean disc not filling properly due to excessive RPM. Replace with 120 cell soybean disc.
High seed count. Wrong transmission setting. Change transmission to desired rate.
High vacuum. Adjust vacuum level to appropriate level.
Wrong seed disc. Replace seed disc.
Singulator brush setting not aggressive enough. Adjust singulator brush.
Worn singulator brush. Inspect brush and replace as required.
Seed leaking past wall brush. Inspect wall brush condition and installation. Replace as necessary.
Faulty vacuum gauge. Check gauge line for dirt/obstruction.
Repair/replace vacuum gauge.
