8 8 Calibration Calibration Warning! Do NOT run seed at this time! Application Rate Options Step 3: Read the treatment product label for the desireapplication rate per CWT (100 pounds) of seed... Warning! Exercise extreme caution when working with chemicals! Refer to the Exposure Control Guide, page 7. Example: 5 ounces of treatment/cwt of seed at a dilution rate of 1:1 with water equals 10 ounces/cwt of total treatment. Chemical Calibration Step 1: Push the gray button to remove the Quick Disconnect [A] (from the Chemical Inlet) and connect it to the Calibrated Beaker [B] will (The chemical Transfer line stays connected to the Quick Disconnect). RATE: If listed in ounces, convert to ml (1 oz = 29.6 ml)... B Example: 10 ounces x 29.6 cc/ounce =296 ml A PUSH BUTTON RATE: If listed in ml/pound, divide ml rate of treatment/cwt of seed by Example: 296 ml/cwt 100 lbs = 2.96 ml/lbs RATE: If listed in ml of treatment/minute, multiply ml of treatment/ Step 2: Connect the Scale Power Cord to an external 120VAC source. Turn ON (touch) the Scale Power Switch. Set the empty Calibration Beaker on the Scale and touch the ZERO button to tare (zero out) the Scale. The digital readout should display 0.00 value. pound of seed by lbs of seed/minute... Example: 2.96 ml/lbs. x 400 lbs/minute = 1,184 ml per minute.

9 Calibration 9 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 = Step 4: Turn the Pump Drive Switch to FWD (the green light indicates the Pump is turned ON). The Pump speed can be adjusted with the black Dial knob. Faster = more chemical pumped, slower = less. Step 6: Once the calibration process is complete and the desired application rate is achieved, lock the Pump Speed Dial. Turn the Pump Drive Switch OFF. Push the gray button to remove the Quick Disconnect [B] (from the Calibrated Beaker) and connect it to the Chemical Inlet [A]. DIAL LOCK Step 5: Hold the Liquid Pump #1 Switch (on the Control Panel) to JOG for one minute. Chemical will draw from the Supply Tank, through the Pump and into the Graduated Beaker on the Digital Scale. Release the Liquid Pump #1 Switch (returns to OFF position). Note the amount of chemical pumped in one minute and compare to the desired application rate. Empty the Graduated Beaker back into the Supply Tank. Repeat until desired amount of chemical pumps in one minute. B PUSH BUTTON A Step 7: Repeat the Calibration process for LIQUID PUMP #2,if used. Disconnect the Digital Scale Power Cord when finished with calibration. Note: The IP pump is rated in millilitres per revolution. Capacity of the pump and element will vary with the viscosity of treatment product used. The Pump (with #82 element) has a maximum output of 2-1/2 gallons per minute.

16 16 Recommendations for Good Seed Treatment Application Applying Seed Treatment When it s time for seed treatment applications, consider these guidelines: Treat only high-quality seed that has been cleaned well and is free of seed dust fragments to avoid creating dust in the treating facility, as well as during seed handling and planting by the grower. Utilize only high-quality seed treatment products designed specificallyand / or recommended for seed treatment by the manufacturer. Use appropriate seed conveying equipment to minimize mechanical damage and the creation of seed dust both prior to and after treatment application. Assure that seed treatment equipment operators are trained in the proper use of the equipment, including calibration and procedures to ensure accurate application. Assure seed treatment equipment is appropriate for the crop, treatment and rates being applied. Follow the seed treatment manufacturer s coating recommendation. Coatings can provide a number of benefits including improves seed flow and plantability, but are principally used to control the loss of active ingredient from treated seed. Do not eliminate the coating or deviate from the manufacturer s recommended dose, as it will increase the potential for loss of active ingredient as well as exposure from dust abrasion. Monitor the seed treatment application accuracy by comparing the amount of product used versus the amount of seed treated to avoid under- or over-applying. If out of balance, recalibrate the seed treating equipment. If spills occur, clean area promptly and dispose of spilled material properly according to local regulations. If you have questions, concerns, or a potential incident involving bees or bee health, please call at any time.
