2 GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual contains technical information regarding Bayer SeedGrowth™ Equipment.

Please read and understand these instructions completely before proceeding to install and

operate the equipment. Bayer CropScience reserves the right to change specications,

models, components, or materials at any time without notice. For additional equipment

information contact us at 1.800.634.6738. Please have this manual available when contacting

Bayer CropScience.

Always use caution and common sense

when working with any chemical. Read the

product label and SDS carefully and follow

their instructions exactly as described.

Optimal operating conditions for this

piece of equipment requires an ambient

temperature 32° F to +104° F (0° C to

+40° C), relative humidity less than 90%

(minimum condensation). Make necessary

provisions to protect this piece of equipment

against excessive dust, particles containing

iron, moisture and against corrosive and

explosive gases.

Our technical information is based on

extensive testing and is, to the best of our

current knowledge, true and accurate but

given without warranty as the conditions

of use and storage are beyond our control.

Variables, such as humidity, temperature,

change in seed size or variety and viscosity

of chemical products can all affect the

accuracy of the chemical application and

seed coverage. To ensure the desired application rate and optimum seed coverage, check

the calibration periodically throughout the day, and make adjustments as needed.

EQUIPMENT

INSTALLATION

Several basic requirements are necessary to ensure proper equipment

installation. Read through and understand this manual.

Step 3: Connect a minimum of 60psi air

pressure to the Regulator, approximately 28

/ batch.

Arrival / Inspection

Step1: The treater will be shipped in a crate on a pallet. Remove

all components and check for any damage that might have occurred

during shipping. Report any damage or missing parts IMMEDIATELY!

If used without the Caster Kit, locate the Treater on a solid, at vibration-

free surface. Anchor to the oor. Plan accordingly! The Treater must be

easily accessible to electricity and compressed air. Allow access to the

Treater from all sides for the purpose of adjustments, maintenance and

clean-up.

EXPOSURE CONTROL

Always use caution and common sense when working with chemicals. Read the

product label and SDS carefully and follow their instructions exactly as described.

The following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommendations and best

practices help promote safe use in seed treatment.

Maintenance

Keep machinery clean between treating

sessions.

Laundry

Wash soiled reusable clothing separately.

Workers must take a shower after each shift.

Wear protective clothing

Wear disposable or reusable coveralls with

long sleeves.

Treatment products

Keep products in a locked room that has

been approved for crop protection products.

Wear rubber boots

Wear chemical resistant rubber boots.

Eye protection required

Wear protective eyewear.

Hand protection required

Wear chemical-resistant gloves.

Wear a mask

Wear respiratory protection.

Clean seed

Use well cleaned seed to avoid creation

of polluted dust that will contaminate the

treating facility, workers, farmers and the

environment during sowing.

Empty containers

Non-returnable empty containers must be

triple rinsed before they can be disposed. For

others the recommendation of the producer

must be followed.

Cleaning

Use a vacuum to clean machines and

coveralls. Never use compressed air.

Spillage

Spillage must be avoided; it must be

thoroughly cleaned up to avoid contaminating

the environment and waterways.

Labels

Label recommendations and directions

for handling must be followed, including

treatment procedure (use of sticker) as well

as the safety requirements.

Calibration

Seed treatment equipment must be checked

and calibrated regularly to ensure accurate

and safe application.

EXPOSURE CONTROL

Application Rate Options

Step 3: Read the treatment product label for the desired

application rate per CWT (100 pounds) of seed...

Warning! Do NOT run seed at this time!

CALIBRATION

Example: 5 ounces of treatment/cwt of seed at a dilution rate of

1:1 with water equals 10 ounces/cwt of total treatment.

Warning! Exercise extreme caution when working

with chemicals! Refer to the Exposure Control Guide, page 7.

RATE: If listed in ounces, convert to ml (1 oz = 29.6 ml)...

Example: 10 ounces x 29.6 cc/ounce =296 ml

RATE: If listed in ml/pound, divide ml rate of treatment/cwt of seed

by 100...

Example: 296 ml/cwt ÷ 100 lbs = 2.96 ml/lbs

RATE: If listed in ml of treatment/minute, multiply ml of treatment/

pound of seed by lbs of seed/minute...

Example: 2.96 ml/lbs. x 400 lbs/minute = 1,184 ml per minute.

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).

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.

PUSH BUTTON

8 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.

CALIBRATION

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.

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].

Step 7: Repeat the Calibration process for LIQUID

PUMP #2,if used. Disconnect the Digital Scale Power

Cord when nished with calibration.

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.

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 ll the calibration

beaker in 1 minute would be 177.6ml...

296ml ÷ 100cwt = 2.96ml x 60lbs = 177.6

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

specicallyand/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 benets

including improves seed ow 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
