Adjustments
Consult page 10 or page 12,
Parts Section, for all part (#) references:
Your Seed-Lok™ has 1/4" vertical adjustment in the
John Deere 7200, page 10, and 3/8" vertical adjustment
in the John Deere 7000 and Kinze models, page 8 This
adjustment is provided for 2 reasons: First, to initially
and uniformly set the Seed -Lok™ wheel in relationship
to the opener blades. Secondly the down pressure can
beadjusted slightly by movingthe wheel assembly upor
down.The Seed-Lok™ Wheel may pick up soil if conditions are too wet regardless of wheel pressure.
To Adjust or Set the Seed-Lok™ Height:
1. Lower planter to rest on a flat surface so row units
are parallel with the ground.
2. Remove 1 gauge wheel. Take note of the spacers
located on the spindle to ensure the wheel is correctly remounted.
3. Loosen the 4 bolts (#1) holding the Seed-Lok™
mount.
4. Raise the wheel assembly to its top position and
then lower the assembly until the Seed-Lok™
Wheel just touches the ground. Center the SeedLok™ Wheel between the opener blades by pulling
or pushing on the side of the wheel. To check the
centering look from the back of the planter through
the closing wheels. Repeat steps 1-4 for each row
unit.Thissettingis a good starting point and in most
cases a suitable running position.
5. Ifdesired, the runningpressure can be increasedby
loosening the 4 bolts (#1) holding the Seed-Lok™
mount and sliding the mount (#3) to its lowest position.The reverse holds for decreasing the pressure.
Loosen the 4 bolts (#1), then raise the assembly to
its highest position.
6. Tighten bolts (#1) and remount the gauge wheels.
Storage
1. Clean the Seed-Lok™ Wheel as necessary.
2. Store the Seed-Lok™ Wheel inside if possible for
longer Seed-Lok™ Wheel life.
Lubrication
Your Great Plains Seek-Lok™ Wheel comes equipped
with a sealed bearing that will not require any additional
lubrication.
IMPORTANT: Check the clearance between the SeedLok™ assembly and the feeder tube through its range
of motion. Improper positioning may damage the feeder
tube.
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long
life of any farm implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.
7. After using your Seed-Lok™ Wheel for several
hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
