3 It has a direct relationship to seeder performance and customersatisfaction. Incorrect seeding kit Setup can result in problems such as blockages, forcefeeding, unacceptable distribution, decreased seeder capacity and poor crop Simplicity Seeding Kits are specifically designed to suit the design of theSimplicity product. To achieve maximum performance from your Simplicity Air Seeder, agenuine Simplicity Seeding Kit is a fitting your Seeding Kit or working on any Simplicity Australia product, careshould be taken to ensure safe work practices are adhered to. Of particular note withthis section is working under unsupported lift of wing fold circuits.

4 Always ensure safetystops are in place prior to entering these all care has been taken with the information supplied within this document, it isimportant to note that this should be used for assistance or as a Guide . Care should betaken to check carefully all details as each cultivator will have itsown characteristics thatneed to be SEEDING KIT COMPONENTSA irseeder HosePrimary Lines: These are the hoses that carryproduct from the airseeder metering units to thePrimary Dividers. This hose is always 76mminternal diameter and has a smooth hard Lines: These arethe hoses that carryproduct from the primary dividers out to thesecondary head stand pipes.

5 This hose can beeither or 50mm internal diameter andhas a smooth hard Lines: These are the hoses that carry product from the secondary head tothe planting boot. This is always internal diameter and is preferred to have asmooth : Avoid Rubber HoseRubber hose has a high coefficient of friction compared with nylon. This makes it harderto blow product through,making it more susceptible to blockages. It alsorequireshigher fan speed and pressure to move the same amount of is magnified with longer hose DividersPrimary Dividers can be supplied as 2 way, 3 way, or 4way. These items equallydisperse the air volume from primary supply line into 2, 3, or 4 secondary way primary dividers come supplied with 50mm secondary and 4 way primary dividers come supplied with secondary HeadsSecondary Heads can have either a or 50mmbase to suit the uptube.

6 This size is determined by theprimary divider outlet required. Secondary heads canbe supplied with 4 to 10 outlets per head. Numbersover 10 or fewer than 4 cannot be supplied. Theoutlets in the secondary heads are always diameter to suit above mentioned tertiary Secondary heads are made from Stainless Steel and Mounting HardwareSecondary uptubes are supplied as or 50mmoutside diameter dictated by the primary divider Mounts are supplied with mounting hardware asper the dealer order. U-bolts and mounts are available tosuit the cultivator frame Head Caps aremade of a durable rubber to avoidseed damage and for long bend in the secondary stand pipe is shaped with the useof a Mandrel bending machine which shapes the pipewithout causing the crushing effect of a standard exhaustpipe bender.

7 The uptube is not available with a 90 degreebend due to premature wear and seed secondary head is simply riveted to the uptube once the desired positioning hasbeen are used to balance the line airflowwhere large variations of sowing rates occurbetween lines when double or triple are placed inside the male camlock fittingof the lines carrying the smallest amount of used as a quick and convenient way of changing example: Converting a 32 row winter crop configuration to an 8 rowsummer crop configuration is easily achieved by rerouting four terminal lines throughone cyclone to one provide significant benefits to a No-Till Air-Seeding operation by removing the problems and inaccuraciesthat occur as a result of the influence of air pressure and are designed to removemostof the air from the supplylinejust above the point of sowing, allowing seed and fertilizer to fallgently into the furrow, eliminating seed bounce.

8 And otherinaccuracy caused by excessive air Seed/Fertiliser Spray bootA small seed/fertiliser spray boot is used tobroadcast small seed orfertiliser. Using the spray boot with provide a coverage ofapproximately 650mm when spraying small seeds and 500mm whenspreading Seed Induction TubeSmall seeds induction tubes allow for small seeds tobe blended with the main system product at thePrimary Divider outlets. The blended products thentravel via the secondary lines and heads to thesowing boot to be placed in the ground Seed Injection KitInjectionSeedingkit allows product from thesmall seeds box to be directly injectedintothe main seedinglines before the KIT Fitment INSTRUCTIONSEach cultivator will have its own specific attributes and characteristics that need to beconsidered when fitting the seeding kit.

9 It is recommended that prior to commencingfitment, the following points should be considered. Then upon completion of the Fitment ,each point should be reconsidered and analysed as to whether it was to be considered for Seeding Kit Fitment Simplicity Seeding Kits are designed to split air volume. Any modifications tostandard equipment may have a detrimental effect on performance and productsatisfaction. Secondary Heads are to be locatedascentralas possibleto theseedingbootsthey feed. Primary Dividers should be mounted in such a position so as to keep secondaryhose to an acceptable length. All secondary hoses should be the same length and where possible not exceed 5metres.

10 All Primary Hoses should be the same length. Air pressure and blower speed should be kept to a minimum. Product should be able to fall to the boot through terminal line, NOT BLOWN. TheAirSeeder delivers a set volume of airrelevant to the blower the hose size and/or using smaller diameter seeding boots will restrictthe air flow. Avoid restricting air flow. Normal operating air pressure greater than 8 Kpa is considered excessive andfurther investigation or re- Fitment may be thesecritical point in mind, the following are suggested steps to fitting a Secondary Head position and plan Secondary Head Risers into and check for clash Primary Dividers in Secondary Primary Secondary Heads to Terminal and check for suitabilityStep 1: Sketch Secondary Head PositionWhere available a detailed layout should be sought, and copies made.
