Hopper and lid					Verified if installed and functioning correctly.
Seed tube					Inspect for wear against seed tube. Damage to the seed tube may decrease seed placement accuracy.
Check seed tube sensors					Perform monitor “Seed Tube Sensor Test” and verify sensor is functional through the display.
Seed tube guard					Inspect for wear. Replace when replacing opener blades or when the guard is no longer protecting the seed tube due to wear.
Double-disk opener shield					Ensure clearance between blade and shield.
Tru-Vee opener blade/bearing					Disk blades are sharp. Wear protective gloves and handle disks carefully to avoid being injured. Measure blade diameter using JDG11600 Opener Disk Wear Gauge or similar tool. Minimum specification is 14” diameter (356 mm). If diameter is below specification or if beveled edge is worn off, replace blades. Check blade edge contact: Use two small business cards, or paper of similar thickness. Slide business cards between blades until they are at each end of blade contact area. Measure distance between the two business cards and ensure that blade edge contact is at specification.
Opener blade scraper					Check scraper blade and spring for wear.
Gauge wheel arm					Proper adjustment to opener blade.
Gauge wheel assembly					Check that gauge wheel tyres touch blades, but still turn with minimal resistance. Gauge wheel tyres must be a maximum 1.5 mm (0.06 in) away from blades at closest point.
Gauge wheel tyre					Replace if upper lip near blade is worn off.
Gauge wheel bearing/bushing					Inspect for proper bearing retention.
Closing wheel handle and bushing					Inspect for proper bearing retention and excessive looseness. Check for proper alignment with seed trench.
Inspect closing wheel/bearing/tyre					Check for excessive runout of loose bearing. Ensure tyre is secured by rim with no cracks. Inspect for rough turning or grease purging.
Inspect closing wheel spring					Check for broken springs, worn hooks on springs that may break in season, and stretched springs that don’t have tension in all settings.
Depth adjusting handle assembly					Inspect wear at pivot and spring.
Row unit drive assembly					Inspect sprockets and bearing for no excessive wear or play.

Inspect vacuum fan

Inspect the impeller for any signs of damage – common damage from debris contact includes chips out of the impeller, blades, cracked impellers, etc. If any noticeable damage is found on the impeller, immediately replace the impeller. Additionally, inspect the impeller and the internal fan housing for signs of the impeller contacting the fan housing. See DTAC Solution 81960 for full details.

Check vacuum gauge filter

Check for dust and verify the gauge is responsive. Replace if needed.

Inspect brush, brush holder, baffle and chute cover					If gaps are large enough to allow seed to pass through, replace brush.
Inspect hub seal					Check for weathered or cracked conditions. Replace as necessary.
Inspect seed disk					Check gap between disk and housing for possible seed leakage. If leaks are present, adjust meter hub. Check for wear around perimeter of disk. Wear around perimeter of disk is acceptable up to an approximate depth of 1 mm (3/64 in). A small amount of wear around disk is acceptable, however seed must not be able to leak through between disk and housing. Inspect seed cells for wear of sharp corners and residue. Replace seed disk if size of cell is significantly increased and/or residue is excessive. Small grooves or scratches are acceptable on vacuum side of seed disk.
Inspect meter vacuum seal					Inspect for large cracks or wear. Replace when necessary or when replacing seed disks.
Inspect wiper					Replace if wiper is grooved or worn excessively.
Inspect latch/handle					Ensure proper retention of meter to hopper. Replace if cracked or broken.
Inspect chamber					Check for talc and treatment buildup.
Inspect vacuum meter dust seal					Check for cracks or weathered conditions. Replace as necessary.
Inspect flex drive assembly					Make sure flex drive pivots freely.
Inspect knocker assembly (option)					Replace if knocker points are worn.
Inspect bearing					Replace if rough or purging grease.
Inspect housing					Look for visible cracks.
Inspect vacuum hoses					Replace if cracked or worn.

ROW CLEANERS/COULTERS

Row cleaners					Verified if installed and functioning correctly. Replace bent teeth/inspect bearings. Replace if excessive wear, bearings are worn out, or not operating as desired.
Frame mounted coulters					Inspect bearings and blade wear. Adjust bottom of coulter approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) higher than bottom of opener blades.
Conservation disk coulters					Inspect bearings and blade wear. Adjust bottom of coulter approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) higher than bottom of opener blades.
Combination coulter					Inspect bearings and blade wear. Adjust bottom of coulter approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) higher than bottom of opener blades.
Unit mounted coulters					Inspect bearings and blade wear. Adjust bottom of coulter approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) higher than bottom of opener blades.

(IRHD) Actuator and mounting					Check for wear and leaks.
(PDF) Check harnesses and sensors					Check connections, pinching, and any wear to harnesses.
(PDF) Pneumatic leaks					Check for leaks and confirm performance. Ensure no excessive compressor run time.
(PDF) Compressor					Verify function and compressor turns on/off at the correct times and builds appropriate pressure (150 psi to turn off).

ROW COMMAND

Inspect routing of RowCommand clutch harness (if equipped)					Secure as required to minimise pinch points.
Perform RowCommand self-test (if equipped)					Verify system is functioning. Refer to OM.
