Prime Seed Meters
Before running an actual calibration, it is important that
the seed cups be filled with seeds, and the flutes primed
to deliver seed at first rotation. Step 19 through step 30
executes a short calibration to do this.

If the cups are already primed, skip to step 31.

Refer to Figure 48

19. Enter a small target amount.

Refer to Figure 49

20. It may take some experimenting to select a value

that avoids “TIME TOO LOW” errors.

Press FUNCTION button to return to step 19.

Note: If modest adjustments to the sample size continue

to result in HIGH/LOW errors, chances are some
other parameter is zero or incorrect by a large fac-
tor (such as decimal place error). To start over,
press OFF, and then ON.

Refer to Figure 50

21. The minimum time is 4 seconds. Select a time just

long enough to ensure that the meters are filled with
seed, and seed is flowing to all seed tubes to be
sampled.
