Safety Instructions

AA

Every year accidents in the work place maim, kill, and injure people. Although it
may be impossible to prevent all accidents, with the right combination of training,
operating practices, safety devices, and operator vigilance, the number of accidents
can be significantly reduced. The purpose of this section is to educate equipment
users about hazards, unsafe practices, and recommended hazard avoidance
techniques.

It is very important that operators and maintenance personnel understand the words
and symbols that are used to communicate safety information. Safety words, their
meaning and format, have been standardized for U.S. manufacturers and published
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The European Community
(E.C.) has adopted a different format based on the International Standards Organi­zation (I.S.O.) and applicable machinery directives. Both formats are presented be­low. Graphic symbols are not standardized, but most manufacturers will use some
variation of the ones seen in this manual.

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES

Lockout/Tagout is the placement of a lock/tag on an energy isolating device in
accordance with an established procedure. When taking equipment out of service
to perform maintenance or repair work, always follow the lockout/tagout procedures
as outlined in ANSI Z344.1 and/or OSHA Standard 1910.147. This standard

“requires employers to establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing appro-

priate lockout devices or tagout devices to energy isolating devices and to otherwise
disable machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energizing, start-up, or re­lease of stored energy in order to prevent injury to employees.”

CONTROLLED STOP

This is the stopping of machine motion by reducing the electrical command signal to
0 (zero) once the stop signal has been recognized.

HAZARD REVIEW

Electrocution Hazard

Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur during maintenance of the
electrical system or when working on or near exposed high voltage wiring.
This hazard does not exist when the electrical power has been discon­nected, properly locked, and tagged out.

Automatic Start Hazard

This seed treating system is usually controlled by an automated system
and may start without warning. Failure to properly disconnect, lockout, and
tagout all energy sources of remotely controlled equipment creates a very
hazardous situation and could cause injury or even death. PLEASE STAY
CLEAR AND BE ALERT.

Installation

BB

The following steps outline the initial set-up of your USC Seed Treating system:

Installation

HIGH VOLTAGE ~ Always disconnect the power source be­fore working on or near the control panel or lead wires.

HIGH VOLTAGE ~ Use insulated tools when making adjust­ments while the controls are under power.

Permanent installation may require additional electrical cords,
liquid hose, and air lines, since each installation is unique.

SET-UP

1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, before moving.

2. Be sure there is enough clearance from overhead obstructions and power lines
or other equipment to move the machine into its working position.

3. Using a forklift, place the seed treater in the desired position on a level surface.

USC highly recommends that the seed treater be set up inside a
building or any covered structure to protect the machine from
weathering.

4. Remove any boxes and the front leg from the drum of the treater.

5. Install the four legs provided and set up on a level surface, preferably concrete.
When all four legs are mounted in the same pin hole, the seed treater has a
slight slope to allow seed to travel through the machine. The pin holes are
approximately 2” apart.

If more slope is desired, the rear
legs can be dropped an additional
pin hole.

6. Anchor the seed treater in position to prevent
the machine from moving during operation.

7. Inspect machine thoroughly for screws, bolts,
fittings, etc. which may have come loose during
shipping.

8. Remove the calibration tube from the box and
install on the left side of the control panel using
the pins. Once the calibration tube is set in
place, connect the two chemical lines.

9. Remove the filter body from the control panel
and install on the front of the treater. The filter
is shipped in the control panel to avoid damage
in shipping.

10. If the treater is utilizing a flow meter, the flow
meter will need to be installed. Remove the
flow meter from the box and mount it on the
right hand side of the seed treater (seed
picture below). Connect the front and back
tubing to the flow meter. After the flow meter
has been installed, connect the cord from the
flow meter to the receptacle (page 31) located
on the bottom of the seed treater control panel.

11. Check and tighten all hose connections.

12. Connect any conveyors into the seed treater
control panel. Ensure that the conveyors
being used are the same power ratings as the
seed treater.

The starters and overloads
located in the seed treater panel
are rated for 5 HP motors. Do
NOT plug any conveyor into the
seed treater that exceeds 5 HP.

13. Have a certified electrician provide power to
the seed treating system. Provide convenient
shutdown switches and comply with local
electrical codes. The USC system must be
connected to the same electrical requirements
as specified in the main control panel on the
power requirement tag (right), or the electrical
schematic shipped with the piece of
equipment. This will power the USC system
except the seed wheel.

Power Requirements Tag

Control panel bracket is hinged
to allow access to the atomizer
chamber. Flexible conduit is
recommended for main power
supply .

14. Connect the Seed Wheel to a 120 volt power
source.

15. Open the adjustable seed gate to its most
wide open position. If the seed gate is not
open fully, seed flow will be diminished and
may even back up into the seed wheel.

16. Reverse the previous steps when removing
the machine from its working position.

SUPPLY HOPPER

The supply hopper has a capacity of approximately 7 units of seed. The hopper
supplies seed to the atomizing chamber where seed first comes in contact with the
treatment.

The seed flow is controlled by the seed wheel. The adjustable seed gate is not
used when using the seed wheel. The seed gate should be set to its most wide

open position. Refer to “Section E: Calibration”, for instructions on calibrating and

setting the seed wheel.

Different seed types may be treated with this equipment. It is
imperative to note that re-calibration of the seed wheel will be
required with each new seed type.

The hopper is equipped with three proximity switches. The top proximity switch
controls the automatic start and stop of the inlet conveyor, so the supply hopper
does not overflow. This proximity switch is not used on Tower Units or when the
treater is being fed with an overhead hopper. The lower proximity switches, which
are located in the seed wheel, control the automatic shut-off of the pump(s). When
the seed wheel runs out of seed the pump(s) will automatically shut-off. Refer to

“Control Panel” in Section D, and Section F: Troubleshooting; “Proximity Switch

Adjustment Guide” for more in-depth information on these proximity switches.

The distribution cone creates a curtain of seed which wraps around the atomizer
head, ensuring that every seed is applied with treatment. (see page 45)

SEED WHEEL

The Seed Wheel is designed to simplify and increase seed flow calibration accu­racy. A rotating wheel is driven by a variable speed motor, which is set prior to
treating the seed. This is mounted above the atomizer. The wheel consists of 8
identical pockets approximately 4 inches deep. As it rotates, the wheel captures a
certain amount of seed in each pocket. After the seed is caught, the wheel
continues rotation and dispenses the seed into the
atomizer chamber. With the constant turn of the
wheel, there is a consistent amount of seed always
sent through the
atomizer.

A cup is used to represent a certain percentage of
one of the wheels pockets. To calibrate the seed
flow, take a sample of the seed to be treated using
the cup and weigh it. From the weight of the seed
sample and by also knowing the RPM of the wheel,
you can determine how fast that seed type will pass
through the seed treater.

USC, LLC Page 19

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

The purpose of the seed wheel is to simplify calibration and make seed flow
calibration more accurate. The seed wheel saves time when switching to different
seed sizes and seed types, and can be mounted to most LP800 and LP2000
models.

5. Opening to Atomizer:

This is where the seed is dispensed from the pockets into

the atomizer chamber.

6. Brush:

The brush levels off the top of each pocket as the wheel rotates to ensure

each pocket contains the same amount of seed.

ATOMIZER CHAMBER

12” hopper extension

The Atomizer chamber consists of a
patented design which disperses
treatment evenly to each seed. A motor
drives the atomizer head at approximately

1725 RPM’s. As treatment is being

pumped into the atomizer chamber, it
drops into the atomizer head. The
centrifugal force of the spinning head

Pump(s)

forces the treatment to be sprayed out
through a screen covering in all 360
degrees. Meanwhile, seed flows down
out of the supply hopper, down on top of
the distribution cone which disperses the

ROTATING DRUM

The rotating drum accepts treated seed through the opening on the hopper end. As
seed passes through the length of the drum it is tumbled, producing accurate and
uniform seed coating. The seed then exits the seed treater out the discharge end
of the machine.

Never allow exposure of persons or clothing to the drive shaft,
idler wheels, or the drum during operation. Always have the
safety shields in place during operation.

USC, LLC Page 21

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

PUMP #1 LIQUID SYSTEM

The USC seed treater is equipped with a 27-gallon mix tank with an electric drive
liquid agitator to keep chemicals mixed and in suspension. The agitator should be
running at all times when treatment is present in the mix tank. The tank is equipped
with a shut-off, drain plug, and drain valve located on the bottom. The top of the
tank also includes 3 extra ports which the operator can use to direct fill into the tank
(see below).

Pump #1 liquid system is also equipped with a calibration tube, which is used to
determine the liquid flow rate. The calibration tube measures in ounces on a 0-340
scale. Three-way valves direct liquid from different areas to keep all liquid
contained.

USC, LLCPage 22

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

Pump #1 Liquid System utilizes a variable speed peristaltic pump and special
norprene pump tubing for liquid metering. Liquid will only come into contact with
the inside diameter of the pump tubing and not the pump. This allows for easy
cleanup and less maintenance of the pump.

To open the pump head, turn lever to the left. Place pump tubing in pump head so
it fits inside the notches and above the rollers. Turn lever back to the right to close
the pump head, clamping the tubing inside the head. Wear or fatigue of the tubing
due to usage and compression is normal. When tubing becomes worn or liquid
rates begin to slow down, open the pump head and move the tubing to a different
position. When the entire piece of tubing becomes worn, simply replace with a new
section of tubing. When not using the machine for a few days or when storing,
open the pump head and remove the tubing to prevent any unnecessary
compression during the off-season.

Proper calibration of the liquid system is critical to achieve a proper granular/
chemical mixture. Use the calibration procedure on page 38 to determine liquid
flow rate.

Emptying the remaining liquid can be done by using the reverse function on the
control panel. This will pump liquid back into the mix tank. Then drain the
remaining liquid into a suitable container. Clean water should be pumped through

the calibration tube and mix tank when finished.
Always dispose of chemical or diluted chemical according to your

local, state, and federal regulations.

Only you, the operator, can determine the length of time required
to completely rinse all chemical residue from the tank and plumb­ing system.

FLOW METER (optional)

The volumetric flow meter is programmed at USC to display ounces per minute and
total ounces. Metric units can also be displayed if specified during ordering. The
front part of the flow meter display is a touch screen. If you need to clean the
screen, be sure to disconnect power to the flow meter before cleaning. This will
avoid accidentally changing any parameters.

Ounces per Minute (ozf/min) and Total Ounces (ozf) are both displayed on the

same screen of the volumetric flow meter. To “Zero” out the total ounces used, you
simply push the “ZERO FLOW METER TOTALIZER” button located on the left side

Controls Explained

1. Pump #1 Voltmeter:

Displays the DC voltage for pump #1. As pump #1 speed

is increased or decreased, this number will also increase or decrease.

2. Hand/Off/Auto Switch (for Pump #1 & #2):

This switch controls pump #1,
pump #2, and any device connected to the auxiliary port. This switch must be
activated before either pump will operate in forward or reverse.

 When this switch is placed in “Hand”, the pump(s) will run only when you have

turned the pump(s) switch to forward or reverse, and the speed has been
adjusted.

 When the switch is placed in “AUTO”, the pump(s)

will only run when the the proximity switches located
in the seed wheel are covered and the atomizer is
running. The proximity switches determine when
seed is present in the seed wheel. When the
proximity switches do not detect seed, a timer relay
located inside the control panel will automatically
shut off the pump(s) a pre-determined amount of
time after the hopper has emptied. The timer relay
(right) located in the control panel is set to Mode “D”
and has an adjustable knob with settings from 0-6.

from the time the hopper empties until the pumps
will shut off. The time delay allows all seed that
passes through the atomizer to have equal coverage.

3. Pump #1 Direction:

This switch allows the operator to change the pump
direction between forward and reverse. It has a safety feature that will not allow the
operator to switch from forward to reverse or vice-versa without momentarily
stopping and releasing the switch in the center position.

4. Liquid Adj. Pump #1:

This dial allows the operator to adjust the speed of pump
#1. The setting should be chosen in relation to the application rate for the treatment
being applied to the seed.

5. Pump #2 Voltmeter:

7. Liquid Adj. Pump #2:

This dial allows the operator to adjust the speed of pump
#2. The setting should be chosen in relation to the application rate for the treatment
being applied to the seed.

8. Inlet Conveyor Switch:

This switch controls the
inlet conveyor in conjunction with a timer relay. When
the switch is turned on, the conveyor will run until
seed covers the proximity switch mounted near the
top of the supply hopper, at which time the conveyor
will turn off automatically. The inlet conveyor will
remain off until seed has dropped below the proximity
switch. A timer relay (right) will turn the conveyor
back on after a pre-determined time. The timer relay
located inside the control panel is set to Mode “A” and
has an adjustable knob with settings from 0-6. Each
number represents the number of seconds from the
time the proximity switch is uncovered to when the
conveyor will turn back on. The time delay prevents
the conveyor from turning on and off too quickly.

9. Drum:

10. Atomizer:

This switch allows the operator to turn the drum on or off.

This switch allows the operator to turn the rotary driven atomizer on
or off for primary distribution of product on the seed. This switch must be turned on
before the seed treating process begins and before the pump(s) will operate in
“Auto”.

11. Mix Tank:

This switch allows the operator to turn the chemical mixer/agitator

on or off to allow for a perfectly mixed application of the seed treatment.

Calibration

EE

Calibration of both the seed flow and liquid portions of the equipment is necessary
for accurate treatment of seed.

The following steps illustrate how to calibrate the seed flow for a LP series seed
treater with seed wheel.

1. Set the empty seed calibration cup on the scale and zero the out the weight of
the cup.

2. Place the funnel and stand in the seed to be treated. This will help to avoid any
unnecessary clean-up while filling and leveling the top of the seed calibration
cup.

Calibration

If you prefer metric measurements, please refer to the conversion
chart on page 48.

SEED FLOW CALIBRATION

3. Place your hand under the bottom of the funnel and fill the funnel up with seed.

4. Place the calibration cup under the funnel stand and remove your hand from the
bottom of the funnel, and allow the cup to be filled. (figure 1)

5. After the cup has been filled, strike off the top of the calibration cup with a
straight edge. (figure 2)

Do not shake the cup.

6. Weigh the sample of seed. (figure 3)

A typical weight of the sample of seed will be anywhere between 2.8
to 4.0 lbs. Anything over or under this

7. Take the weight of the seed sample and use it in

the formula on page 35, or into the “Seed Wheel

SEED FLOW CALCULATIONS

The following steps illustrate how to determine the RPM for your desired seed flow
rate. Different seed types will fill the pocket differently. When figuring your seed flow
rate, be sure to use the chart below for the type of seed.

1. Determine a seed flow rate.
EXAMPLE: Desired Seed Flow Rate = 700 lbs./min.

2. Determine the number of pounds per wheel revolution which will be dispensed
through the seed wheel. This can be found by dividing the desired seed flow rate
by the number of pockets dispensed per revolution.
EXAMPLE: Seed Flow Rate = 700 lbs./min.
700 / 16 = 46.875 lbs.

43.75 lbs. per wheel revolution.

3. Find the weight of seed in each pocket. This can be done by taking a sample of the
seed to be treated (follow the steps on page 30). Divide the weight of the sample
by the Cup Percentage for the type of seed you are treating. Use the chart on
Page 28 to find the Cup Percentage.
EXAMPLE: Weight of seed in cup = 3.58
Cup Percentage for Soybeans =0.38501

3.58 / 0.38501 = 9.298

9.298 lbs. per wheel pocket.

4. Determine the RPM of the Seed Wheel to match your desired seed flow rate. Take
the lbs per wheel revolution and divide it by the lbs per wheel pocket. Then add in
a 0.04 factor to compensate for the drop in wheel RPM under a load of seed.

EXAMPLE: Pounds per wheel revolution = 43.75
Pounds per wheel pocket = 9.298

43.75 / 9.298 = 4.71

4.71 + 0.04 = 4.75

4.75 RPM is the number the seed wheel needs to be set

at to match your desired seed flow rate.

1. Select the type of seed to be treated. EXAMPLE: SOYBEANS

2. Enter the total number of pounds to be treated. EXAMPLE: 2500

3. Enter in the weight of seed in the cup (follow the steps on page 34).
EXAMPLE: 3.58

4. Enter in the desired seed flow rate. This is a number that is determined by the
operator. Minimum seed flow rate is approximately 300 lbs per minute. The
maximum seed flow rate is 800 lbs per minute for an LP800 and 1900 lbs per
minute for an LP2000. EXAMPLE: 700

5. Enter in the ounces to be applied per hundred pounds(cwt). EXAMPLE: 5.00

6. Set the Seed Wheel RPM using the number in the orange colored cell found in the
same row as the seed type to be treated. EXAMPLE: 4.75

7. After the Seed Wheel RPM has been set, the first batch of seed can be treated.
Double check the accuracy by timing the first batch of seed as it passes through the
atomizer of the seed treater.

PUMP #1 CALIBRATION

The following steps illustrate how to calibrate pump #1 on an LP series seed treater.
A stop watch will be needed in the calibration process.

If the seed treater is equipped with a flow meter, refer to the Flow
Meter operator’s manual for pump calibration instructions.

1. Lock down the pump tubing in the Pump #1 pump head (page 23) and set the
dial above the pump head to the “3” setting.

2. Premix enough liquid for the amount of seed you will be treating and pour into

the 27 gallon stainless steel tank. It’s always a good practice to mix up 20% ex-

tra slurry to help fill all the lines. Turn on the mix tank and allow liquid to mix.

3. Turn the “SEED TREATMENT SOURCE” valve to the “MIX TANK” position, the

“SEED TREATMENT” valve to the “CALIBRATE” position, and the valve on top

of the mix tank to “MIX TANK”.

4. Turn the pump #1 direction switch to “FORWARD”.

5. Turn the “Hand/Off/Auto” switch to the “Hand” position and set

the Pump #1 liquid adjust dial (right) to about “500” or half

speed. The liquid should begin re-circulating from the bottom of
the mix tank, through the pump, and back into the top of the mix
tank.

6. Allow pump to re-circulate liquid for approximately 15 minutes to
ensure all air has been removed from the liquid lines. This will
also help “break-in” the pump tubing, which is critical before
checking pump calibration.

7. After you have allowed the liquid to re-circulate you are ready to calibrate the
pump. Determine the number of ounces needed in one minute.

EXAMPLE: The seed treatment slurry rate is 4 ounces per cwt.
Seed Flow Rate = 12.24 cwt/min. x 4 oz./cwt. = 49 oz./min.
49 oz. is the rate the pump should be pumping in one minute.

8. Set the Liquid Adjustment Dial . You can use the chart on page 42 to find a
starting point.

EXAMPLE: The ounces needed in one minute = 49 oz/min. Assume we are

using a 2-200 Masterflex pump. An approximate starting point is 31.8
volts.

USC, LLCPage 38

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

9. Using the stop watch, determine the pump flow rate. Keeping the pump running,

position the valve on top of mix tank to “CALIBRATION TUBE”. When liquid

reaches 0 (zero) or an even number, begin timing for one minute. (see Figure 1,
below)

10. As soon as one minute is up, position valve on top of mix tank to “MIX TANK”.

Read the level on the side of the calibration tube (see Figure 2, below). This
number should equal the number of ounces needed to flow through the pump in
one minute. If the ounces needed per minute have not been met, re-adjust the
pump speed up or down accordingly and repeat steps 9 & 10 until the liquid flow
rate has been matched.

Liquid at 0 oz.

Figure 2

Liquid at 35 oz.

PUMP CALIBRATION WITH FLOW METER

The following steps illustrate how to calibrate a pump with a flow meter on an LP
series seed treater.

1. Follow steps 1 through 6 on page 38.

2. After you have allowed the liquid to re-circulate you are ready to calibrate the
liquid flow. Determine the number of ounces needed in one minute.

EXAMPLE: The seed treatment slurry rate is 5 ounces per cwt.
Seed Flow Rate = 10.8 cwt/min. x 5 oz./cwt. = 54 oz./min.
54 oz. is the rate the pump should be pumping in one minute.

3. Set the Liquid Flow Rate. Using the Liquid Adj. dial.

Flow Rate

Increase or decrease the pump speed until the
liquid flow rate has been matched.

4. Once the flow rate is set you can begin the seed
treating process. The flow rate can still be adjusted
during the treating process.

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

PUMP #2 CALIBRATION

The following steps illustrate how to calibrate pump #2 on an LP series seed treater.
A stop watch and measuring cup will be needed in the calibration process.

1. Lock down the pump tubing in the Pump #2 pump head. (page 23)

2. Premix enough liquid for the amount of seed you are treating and pour into the 5

gallon poly tank. It’s always a good practice to mix up 20% extra slurry to help fill

all the lines.

3. Turn the “INOCULANT” valve to the “CALIBRATE” position, and position the
Calibration Valve to “RECIRCULATE”.

4. Turn the pump #2 direction switch to “FORWARD”.

5. Turn the “Hand/Off/Auto” switch to the “Hand” position and set

the Pump #2 liquid adjustment dial (right) to about “500” or half

speed. Liquid should begin circulating from the bottom of the
mix tank, through the pump, and back into the top of the tank.

6. Allow pump to re-circulate liquid for approximately 15 minutes to
ensure all air has been removed from the liquid lines. This will
also help “break-in” the pump tubing, which is critical before
checking pump calibration.

7. After you have allowed the liquid to circulate you are ready to calibrate the liquid
flow. Determine the number of ounces needed in one minute.

EXAMPLE: The seed treatment slurry rate is 5 ounces per cwt.
Seed Flow Rate = 12.24 cwt/min. x 5 oz./cwt. = 61.2 oz./min.

61.2 oz. is the rate the pump should be pumping in one minute.

8. Set the Liquid Adjustment Dial . You can use the chart on page 42 to find a
starting point.

EXAMPLE: The ounces needed in one minute = 61.2 oz/min. Assume we are

using a 2-200 Masterflex pump. A good starting point is approximately

33.9 volts.

9. Using the stop watch and measuring cup, determine the pump flow rate. Hold the
measuring cup under the calibration hose next to the Side Valve.

10. Keeping the pump running, position the Calibration Valve to “CALIBRATE”.
When liquid begin timing for one minute as soon as liquid begins flowing into the
measuring cup.

USC, LLCPage 40

11. As soon as one minute is up, position the Calibration Valve back to

“RECIRCULATE”. Read the level on the side of the measuring cup. This

number should equal the number of ounces needed to flow through the pump in
one minute. If the ounces needed per minute have not been met, adjust the
pump speed up or down accordingly and repeat steps 9,10, & 11 until the liquid
flow rate has been matched.

TREATING SEED

1. Prime the line going to the atomizer by turning the Atomizer switch to “ON” and

turn the “SEED TREATMENT” valve to “PROCESS”. Next turn the pump
direction switch to “FORWARD” and the “Hand/Off/Auto” switch to “Hand”.

Liquid should begin pumping up to the atomizer. After the line has been primed,

turn the “Hand/Off/Auto” switch to “Auto”. Additional liquid can be pumped up

into the atomizer and into the drum to guarantee coverage of the first seed that
passes through the machine.

Do NOT pump liquid into the atomizing chamber when the atomizer is
“OFF”.

2. Position the “SEED TREATMENT SOURCE” valve to “MIX TANK”.
If you desire to check the total ounces used per batch of seed. Fill the

calibration tube with the amount needed for the batch of seed (about 10

ounces extra is a good practice). Then position the “SEED
TREATMENT SOURCE” valve to “CALIBRATION TUBE” and go on to

step 3.

3. Begin feeding seed into the seed wheel until the supply hopper is full. This will

ensure that the first pockets are full when the wheel is turned on. At this time,
ensure the seed gate on the seed treater is wide open.

4. Turn the switches to “ON” for the Drum, Atomizer, and any Conveyors being

used.

5. Turn the “Hand/Off/Auto” switch to the “AUTO” position and then turn the Seed

Wheel to “ON”, this will begin the seed treatment process.

You may notice the RPM will run at a lower RPM under the load of seed.
Do not adjust the RPM back up. The program already has figured in the
factor for the drop in RPM.

6. As you are treating the first batch of

seed, time the seed as it is begins
flowing out the atomizer chute (right).

7. Once all the seed has passed through

the seed wheel and atomizer, stop
timing. The pump(s) will automatically
shut off.

Begin timing when seed

starts flowing out this

chute

formula on the following page. The actual time in minutes will display and a
Accuracy Rate Percentage will display.

EXAMPLE: Actual Time = 3:39 minutes or 219 seconds.

10. You will use the Accuracy Rate Percentage for that type of seed, and enter this
number into the Seed Wheel Factor cell on the main screen. Use your mouse
to click on the “SEED WHEEL CALIBRATION WORKSHEET, CLICK HERE”
phrase. This will send you back to the main screen.

USC, LLC Page 47

LP2000 with Seed Wheel

11. Enter the Accuracy Rate Percentage into the Seed Wheel Factor box that is in
the same row as the seed that is being treated. Because all seed wheel
pockets are slightly different in depth, this number is used to adjust your seed
wheel program to increase accuracy the next time you treat seed.

12. After you have entered in the Accuracy Rated Percentage, the RPM of the seed
wheel will have to be changed. This will allow you to maintain your desired seed
flow rate.

13. You will need to adjust the RPM on the seed wheel to the new RPM to maintain
the desired speed in pounds per minute. Be sure and save the file after
entering in the seed wheel factor.

PROXIMITY SWITCH ADJUSTMENT GUIDE

The proximity switches mounted in the
extension ring and in the seed wheel of the
seed treater detect when seed is present.

The proximity switch located in the extension
ring is used to automatically shut off the inlet
conveyor when the surge hopper is full. This
proximity switch is not present on Tower
systems.

The proximity switches mounted in the seed
wheel automatically shut off the pump(s)
when all seed has left the hopper.

Sometimes these proximity switches do not
properly work. This can be caused from wear,

Sensitivity Adjustment Screw

dust, or even moisture. The first step is to
clean the lens of the proximity switch. If this
does not solve the problem, the next step
would be to adjust the sensitivity of the
proximity switch.

Proximity Switch Screwdriver

1. Check incoming power to flow
meter.

2. Check connections inside the
control panel and inside the
flow meter.

1. Check wiring schematic

2. Check flow meter
parameters. Call local
dealer.

Using the small screwdriver provided inside the control panel, you can adjust the
proximity switch by turning the adjusting screw on the back of the proximity switch.

 Turn Clockwise to make the proximity switch more sensitive.
 Turn Counterclockwise to make the proximity switch less sensitive.

Limited Warranty

USC, LLC, (Manufacturer) warrants its seed treating equipment as follows:

1. Limited Warranty: Manufacturer warrants that the Products sold hereunder will be free
from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from date of shipment. If
the Products do not conform to this Limited Warranty during the warranty period, Buyer shall
notify Manufacturer in writing of the claimed defects and demonstrate to Manufacturer
satisfaction that said defects are covered by this Limited Warranty. If the defects are properly
reported to Manufacturer within the warranty period, and the defects are of such type and
nature as to be covered by this warranty, Manufacturer shall, at its expense, furnish
replacement Products or, at Manufacturer’s option, replacement parts for the defective
products. Shipping and installation of the replacement Products or replacement parts shall be
at the Buyer’s expense.

2. Other Limits: THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EX-
PRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Manufacturer
does not warrant against damages or defects arising from improper installation (where
installation is by persons other than Manufacturer), against defects in products or components
not manufactured by Manufacturer, or against damages resulting from such non-Manufacturer
made products or components. Manufacturer passes on to the Buyer the warranty it received
(if any) from the maker of such non-Manufacturer made products or components. This
warranty also does not apply to Products upon which repairs and/or modifications have been
effected or attempted by persons other than pursuant to written authorization by Manufacturer.
Manufacturer does not warrant against casualties or damages resulting from misuse and/or
abuse of product(s), acts of nature, effects of weather, including effects of weather due to
outside storage, accidents, or damages incurred during transportation by common carrier.

3. Exclusive Obligation: THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE. The sole and exclusive
obligation of Manufacturer shall be to repair or replace the defective Products in the manner
and for the period provided above. Manufacturer shall not have any other obligation with
respect to the Products or any part thereof, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or
otherwise. Under no circumstances, whether based on this Limited Warranty or otherwise,
shall Manufacturer be liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages.

4. Other Statements: Manufacturer’s employees or representatives’ oral or other written
statements do not constitute warranties, shall not be relied upon by Buyer, and are not a part
of the contract for sale or this limited warranty.

5. Return Policy: Approval is required prior to returning goods to USC, LLC. A restocking fee
will apply.

6. Entire Obligation: This Limited Warranty states the entire obligation of Manufacturer with
respect to the Products. If any part of this Limited Warranty is determined to be void or illegal,
the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
