Seed Size and Rate Calibration |
To ensure the proper use of your RTP Outdoors Ground-Breaker Seeder, gate opening and rate calibration is necessary before every use. Seed sizes & blends vary from year to year and among brands of seed, meaning the calibration settings will always change. The settings presented in the SEED SETTING CHART are given as a starting point and are not intended to be used in lieu of the calibration process. |

Find a Box or Tray |
You will need to find a box or tray that will fit across the width of the seeding elements to catch all of the seed falling from the machine during the calibration process. You will want to mount the box or tray as close to the bottom of the seeding element openings as possible to help you not lose any seed. |
|
|
Fill the Seed Box |
Open the lid of the seed box and put in your seed of choice. Make sure you fill every seed cup with enough seed for the calibration. If one of the seed cups runs out of seed during this process, the calibration will be inaccurate. Always check the seed cups before and after the calibration. |

|
Adjust the Gate Opening |
Using the SEED SETTING CHART to get your base setting for the seed you will be planting. On the right side of the Ground-Breaker, you will adjust the Gate Opening number from 0 - 3 by loosening the knob, moving the bar to the correct number, and tightening back the knob. |
|
|
Adjust the Variable Clutch System |
On the left side of the machine is the Variable Clutch System that controls the rate. To adjust this setting, loosen the 2 knobs on the top of the clutch system box and then rotate the larger knob on the side of the box until you are lined up on the desired number. Tighten the 2 knobs on top to lock in your setting. |

Spin the Cultipack Roller |
Slowly spin the cultipack roller toward the front of the machine until you start to hear seed dumping into your seed catching device. Now spin the cultipack roller forward 13 times, using your tape or marking as a position reference. |
