24 35 kg CALIBRATION Warning! Do NOT run chemical at this time! Required calibration tools Stopwatch or watch with a second hand. Collection bin (at least 35 kg). Recommended Gate openings Maize = 3 Soya = 2 1/2 Cereals = 1 1/2 Seed Calibration Step1: Push in on the black knob (seed gate arm) to move the arm until the top of the seed gate reaches the mark on the label for the intended seed type (refer to RECOMMENDED GATE OPENINGS, above). Release the black knob to set the seed flow control open. Best if done from the side of the treater rather than straight- on facing the seed gate arm. Set the seed gate opening Step 2: Loosen the wing nut on the Seed Gate Arm and lower the arm stop on top of the Seed Gate Arm. Seed gate arm stop 24

25 Step 3: Place a collection bin underneath the double bagger, to catch spent seeds. Step 4: Turn the manual 3-way valve UP to the TREAT mode position, as shown. Step 5: Turn the control panel DRUM switch to the ON position, as shown. 25

26 Step 6: Fill the seed hopper with a pre-determined amount of seed, example: 20 kg, and start the stop watch. 20 kg The treater will run the batch of seed through the hopper and discharge into the collection bin underneath the double bagger. Step 7: Determine how long it took all 20 kg of seed to run through the treater. Example: (20kg 50sec) x 60 = 24kg/min. Stop the watch when all 20 kg has emptied from the seed hopper. For demonstration purposes only, assume 20 kg of seed ran through the seed hopper in 50 seconds. Therefore, the CF35 would be calibrated to treat 24 kg of seed per minute (60 seconds). Note: Seed size and seed type will always run at different rates. Operator must calibrate whenever seed type and / or seed size is changed! Step 8: The seed gate can be adjusted to restrict or open seed flow. Open the seed gate (maximum 3.0 ) for full flow, or close the gate down (1/2 ) for greatest seed flow restriction. Recommended Gate openings Maize = 3 Soya = 2 1/2 Cereals = 1 1/2 Once the desired seed flow is achieved, keep the seed gate set, until a new seed variety or size is introduced for treating. 26

27 Step 9: Once the desired seed flow is achieved, turn the control panel drum switch to OFF. Warning! Wear proper personal protective equipment when working with chemicals: long sleeves, chemical resistant gloves and a face respirator >> Note: Refer to the Treatment Product Label on the chemical jug for the regulated application rate. Follow the direction exactly as stated on the label! Chemical Calibration Step 1: Ensure the calibration beaker is properly placed underneath the calibration tube. Turn the manual 3-way valve down to the left, in CALIBRATION mode, as shown. 27

28 Step 2: Open the tank cover lid and pour in desired chemical product (s). Use the tank stir handle to thoroughly mix the chemical product. Step 3: Turn the pump switch to the right clockwise. The pump will run, priming chemical from the tank, through the pump head and into the calibration beaker. Allow the pump to run until chemical is streaming into the calibration beaker. Step 4: Turn the Pump Switch to OFF. 28

29 Step 5: Empty the calibration beaker thoroughly into the chemical tank and replace beneath the calibration tube. Step 6: Turn the pump switch ON to the right clockwise and use the stopwatch to time the calibration pump run for one minute. Step 7: After one minute, turn the pump Switch to OFF. Write down the amount of treatment chemical (ml) that pumped into the calibration beaker in one minute. Then empty the calibration beaker contents back into the chemical tank for reuse. 29

30 Example: if the required application rate is 10 ounces (296ml) of treatment per hundredweight (cwt) of seed (60lbs in 1 minute), the desired amount of treatment that needs to fill the calibration beaker in 1 minute would be 177.6ml ml 100cwt = 2.96ml x 60lbs = Note: Speed Indicator sets the speed of the pump. The higher the number, the faster the speed of the pump... Turn dial right or left. 296ml 100cwt = 2.96ml x 60lbs = It is highly recommended that calibration checks be made periodically throughout the day, to help ensure proper application rates are achieved. Multiple calibration runs may need to be made by adjusting the LS pump speed, until the desired amount of chemical pumped reaches the target amount. The calibration process will need to be repeated whenever a new seed type or seed size is introduced into the treating process. Changes beyond the control of the operator or the functionality of the machine, such as temperature, humidity and wind speed throughout the day, can affect the calibration. Prime treatment line Step 1: Once calibration process is complete, then turn the 3-way valve UP to the TREAT mode position, as shown. 30

31 Step 2: Pull the treatment tube out and remove it from the application cap, located on top of the inlet transition on the discharge end of the treater. Step 3: Place the treatment tube inside the calibration beaker, as shown. Step 4: Turn the pump switch to the right clockwise and run the LS pump to prime chemical to the treatment tube. 31

32 Step 5: Once chemical begins to fill the calibration beaker, turn the switch to OFF. Step 6: Empty the spent chemical in the calibration beaker back into the chemical tank. Replace treatment tube back into the application tube cap, as shown. Seed & Chemical Calibration is now complete. Note: The tubing should push into the tube cab approximately 4 in order to reach the bottom of the applicator tube. 32

33 OPERATION Warning! Wear proper personal protective equipment when bagging treated seed: long sleeves, chemical resistant gloves and a face respirator >> Tip: Always treat clean seed! This can also affect the seed flow rate. Treat mode Step 1: When ready to begin treating seed, ensure a collection bin or bagging device is affixed to the double bagger, to catch treated seed. Step 2: Fill the inlet hopper with seed (up to 180kg). 33

34 Step 3: The seed gate should be set, according to Calibration, as described on page 26. Once the desired seed flow is achieved, keep the seed gate set, until a new seed variety or size is introduced for treating (already set during Calibration, refer to page 26). Step 4: Turn the pump switch ON to the right clockwise. Seed will begin flowing into the drum, where it will mix with the seed treatment chemical and then discharge out of the drum through, the double bagger. Step 5: Turn the control panel DRUM switch to the ON position, as shown. 34

35 Note: Refer to the Treatment Product Label on the chemical jug for the regulated application rate. Follow the direction exactly as stated on the label! If untreated seed is coming out the discharge during treating, it means the treater is running too fast and seed is overflowing the inlet transition. Slow down the seed flow rate by restricting the seed gate opening. Step 6: When finished treating seed, turn the switch to OFF. Step 7: Turn the control panel drum switch to OFF. 35

36 Step 8: Turn the pump switch to the left counter clockwise to empty unused chemical from the treatment lines back into the 4 gallon chemical tank. Step 9: When finished returning chemical to tank, turn the Pump Switch to OFF. This completes CF35 Operation. 36

37 MAINTENANCE Warning! Wear proper personal protective equipment when working with chemicals: long sleeves, chemical resistant gloves and a face respirator >> End of season shut down Step 1: Ensure the Pump Control Power Switch and Drum switches are set to the OFF position, as shown. Ensure the 3-way valve is in the TREAT mode, as shown. 37

38 Step 2: Pull the treatment tube out and remove it from the application cap, located on top of the inlet transition on the discharge end of the treater. Place the tubing in an empty 5 gallon pail, as shown. Step 3: Open the tank cover lid and ill it with clean water. Step 4: Turn the pump switch FWD to the left counter clockwise to empty the 4 gallon chemical tank. This will also clean out all treatment lines of residue chemical. 38

39 Step 5: Turn the control panel DRUM switch to the ON position, as shown. Step 6: When finished emptying the chemical tank, turn the Pump switch to OFF. Save rinse water in the 5 gallon pail for the next treating session or dispose of properly, according to the label on the container of chemical treatment product. 39

40 Step 7: Turn the control panel drum switch to OFF. Step 8: Replace treatment tube back into the application tube cap, as shown. Note: The tubing should push into the tube cab approximately 4 in order to reach the bottom of the applicator tube. 40

41 ! Warning! Leaving the pump element in the pump head in the closed position over a duration of time will permanently leave a flat spot on the pump element. Step 9: Release the pump head to relieve pressure on the pump element for long term storage. Can disconnect the element assembly connected to the tank elbow and the calibration valve. Pump Fuse Step 1: Remove and replace the fuse if necessary (located under the Power Cord). 41
