•
The drive wheel pressure must be set at 2 Bar.
3.4 CONFIGURATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Equalizer airseeders are equipped with 2, 4 or 6 outlet metering units. This implies that 2, 4 or 6
main lines of 63 mm pipes can be set up to transport fertilizer or seed. The latter can be further
divided to serve a different number of rows. It is done through secondary divider heads.
The number of rows that the metering unit can service, are set out in the table below:
Secondary Divider Heads: Amount of outlets per divider head
( 2 outlet serves 50mm pipe, the rest serves 32mm pipe)

•
It is possible to close off 1,2 or 3 compartments in the 4 and 6 outlet metering units, and only use
the remainder of the open lines.
•
It is possible to block off some of the outlets on the 32mm divider heads as long as the total
number of open outlets is not less than 5.
•
In cases where the seed or fertilizer depositors are below ground level, ventilators need to be
incorporated in order release surplus airflow.
•
Under no circumstances should the 63 mm pipes be split before they reach the divider heads,
and likewise, the pipes from your divider heads to your planter units may not be split.
