Seeding Kit Setup
Overview
Simplicity Australia designs a seeding kit to achieve maximum
performance from the Simplicity Air Seeder. Seeding kits and the
correct fitment has a direct relationship to Air Seeder
performance. Incorrect seeding kit set up can result in problems
such as blockages, force feeding, unacceptable distribution, poor
Air Seeder performance and low or uneven crop yields.
To achieve maximum performance from the Simplicity Air
Seeder, the fitting of a genuine Simplicity Australia seeding kit
is a necessity.
Consideration should be given to the following points prior to
fitting the seeding kit.
 Secondary heads should be located as central as possible to
the seeding boots they are to feed
 Primary dividers should be mounted in such a position so as
to keep the secondary hose to an acceptable length
 All secondary hoses should be the same length and where
possible not to greatly exceed five metres.
 All primary hoses should be the same length
 The Air Seeder delivers a set volume of air relevant to the
blower speed. Reducing the hose size and/or using smaller
diameter seeding boots will restrict the air flow. Avoid
restricting the air flow
 Air pressure and blower speed should be kept to a
minimum. Refer
Page 3.12 and 3.13
With consideration given to the above points and by following
the steps suggested on the next page correct fitment of a
seeding kit should be achieved.
WARNING: Observe safe work practices. Do NOT work,
or allow others to work, under a raised and unsupported
seeding tool. Always ensure all safety mechanisms are in
place and operational to prevent any part of the seeding
tool falling. Working under unsupported seeding tool
components can cause death or serious injury.

Seeding Kits are
designed to evenly
split and distribute
the air volume. Any
modifications to the
standard seeding kit
may have a
detrimental effect
on the Air Seeder’s
performance.
IMPORTANT
Op
erating pressure
of 8Kpa and above is
considered
excessive during
normal operating
conditions. Pressure
in excess of 8Kpa
should be
investigated for
restriction or the
layout may need to
be reconsidered and
refitment may be
required.
