Introduction
The advanced technology of the
TITANIUM seed meter almost eliminates
the chances for skips or double seeds
during planting. The TITANIUM also
reduces the possibility of cracking or
damaging seeds.

To ensure optimal efciency of the TITANIUM, only use Apollo seed discs.

It is important to notice that the
Apollo disc runners are exclusive
to the TITANIUM meter. Other disc
runners will not be compatible.

The wipers ensure each hole is lled with seed. It also scrapes
out double seeds. The exibility reduces seed damage.
POLIFLOW WIPERS
The roller ejects seeds from
the seed disc that would not
fall out by gravity alone. The
roller ensures constant contact
with the disc but is exible not
to cause damage to the seeds.
FLEXBRUSH ROLLER
The inspection window allows
the user to observe the seed
disc in motion. This feature is
essential during setup and allows
the meter’s performance to be
checked during planting.
INSPECTION WINDOW
Keeps the seed in the place during the last rotational stage. The brush
prevents the seed from bouncing out of the seed disc when the planter works
in rocky soils.

1. MOUNTING THE TITANIUM ON THE PLANTER
For optimal service life of the TITANIUM meter it is highly recommended
to take care when tightening the hold down clamp. A loose t will result in
unnecessary vibration and bounce of the meter and over-tightening will bend
the base. In both cases the performance of the meter will be compromised.

2. CORRECT METHOD TO INSERT THE
SEED DISC AND DISC RUNNER
Place the seed disc
and disc runner
into position.
Place the disc runner
into place. Ensure
that the indentation
seats inside the
allocated space in the
meter body.
Ensure that the
seed disc is in the
correct position.
Fit the centre
hole of the disc
around the
centre bushing.

1Ensure that the seed disc and disc runner is
positioned correctly.
2Look for dirt between the base plate and the meter body. If any,
follow the cleaning procedure indicated in the manual.
3Adjust the latches, ensuring easy opening and providing soft grip
when closing.
4Never leave the latches loose. This will result in the incorrect
clearance for the seed discs and disc runners and have a
negative effect while planting.

1. SELECTING THE CORRECT SEED DISC
AND DISC RUNNER
Due to the wide variety of shape sizes of different crops, we have developed
multiple seed discs and disc runners specically for each crop.
To guarantee the best performance of the TITANIUM, it is important to
observe the following features of your seed when choosing the correct seed
disc:
That the seed ts comfortably in the hole with no additional
space for a second seed or that the seeds get stuck.
The seed does not stick out
above the seed disc surface.
Preparation for planting
When choosing the correct disc, the seeds will
fit comfortably in the holes and do not stick out
above the disc surface.
