Feed Cup Adjustment

All cups must be set the same to ensure seed uniformly.
To check, set the adjusting nut to 0-A. The “A” on the
adjustment nut is positioned over the “0” (the nut covers
half of the”0”) with the adjustment nut snug against the
bearing. All cups should be closed. If not, there are three
adjustments to make as needed. See Figure 4-5.

1.

Jam nuts on both ends of the micrometer are used to
adjust all cups the same amount.

2.

Loosen the feed roll coupling jam nuts and set
screws. Turn right hand seed shaft in or out of
coupling as required so all cups close at the same
time.

3.

Individual cups can be adjusted by loosening their
mounting bolts, moving cups and then re-tightening.
