TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF PRODUCT
• Mountable to:
- Pro-Till 30/33/36/40/41/45
- Strawmaster+ 70/90
- Strawmaster PRO 80/100/120
- Strawmaster X 50/70
• 80 cubic foot tank size
• ISOBUS compatible
• Precision granular applicator provides excellent
rate control based on tractor speed.
• Intended use includes cover crop or granular
chemical operation. Enhanced crop coverage in
wet soil conditions. Seed where your air drill can’t.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Degelman Pro-Cast is designed to deliver an
accurate spread of product in a variety of field
conditions, whether you’re seeding or applying
granular herbicides.
Pro-Cast utilizes state of the art features including
a Non-Pressurized tank, ISOBUS controls and a
simple, accurate metering system that is designed to
make granular application, and cover crop seeding
safer and more efficient.
Connect to the tractor following the standard
implement connection procedures identified by the
manufacturer along with the additional connections
for the Pro-Cast.
The recommended way to connect the Pro-Cast
is using 3/4" high flow couplers, connecting the
pressure line to an SCV and the return to a motor
return port (high flow, low pressure return), along
with a case drain (zero pressure return).
If you're not able to connect 3/4" couplers to your
tractor, reducers & 1/2" couplers are supplied in
the toolbox. Although most tractors will run the
Pro-Cast without issue from 1/2" couplers, they will
restrict flow and generate more heat.

HOOK-UP / CONNECTING TO TRACTOR
TRANSPORT SAFETY
The Pro-Cast is mounted on an existing tillage
implement. Therefore, also refer to the associated
product for specific transport instructions.
IMPORTANT:It is not recommended to
transport machine on highways with a loaded
Pro-Cast tank. The additional weight will increase
stress on the implement frame and may affect tire
load rating.
IMPORTANT:Under no circumstances
should there ever be riders while the Pro-Cast is in
motion or transport. NO RIDERS!

143085 - Pro-Cast 80 (04-August-2021)
Although there are no operational restrictions on the
Pro-Cast applicator when it is new, there are some
mechanical checks that must be done to ensure
the long term integrity of the unit. When using the
machine for the first time, follow this procedure:
IMPORTANT:It is important to follow the Break-In
procedures especially those listed in the “Before using”
section below to avoid damage:
A. Before using:
1. Read Safety Info. & Operator’s Manual.
2. Complete steps in “Pre-Operation Checklist”.
3. Check all bolt tightness.
B. After operating for 2 hours:
1. Check all hardware. Tighten as required.
2. Check all hydraulic system connections.
Tighten if any are leaking.
C. After operating for 8 hours:
1. Repeat Step B.
2. Go to the service schedule as outlined in the
“Service & Maintenance” section.
BREAK-IN
Operation
Before operating the machine and each time there-
after, the following areas should be checked off:
Check oil level in the tractor hydraulic reservoir.
Top up as required.
Check all bolt tightness.
Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, fittings and
couplers for tightness. Tighten if there are leaks.
Use a clean cloth to wipe any accumulated
dirt from the couplers before connecting to the
tractor’s hydraulic system.
Check all the machine settings, refer to Settings
& Adjustment sections. Perform adjustments as
necessary.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
It is important for both personal safety and
maintaining the good mechanical condition of
the machine that this pre-operational checklist be
followed.
OPERATING/MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Read and understand the Operator’s Manual
before starting.
• Lower to ground, stop engine, place all controls
in neutral, set park brake and remove ignition
key before servicing, adjusting or repairing.
• Ensure that any hydraulic or other moving parts
will not unintentionally engage or suddenly move
position. Inspect and secure any hazards.
• Ensure that both the blower fan and metering
unit are switched off.
• Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from
all moving and/or rotating parts.
• Be careful when working around or maintaining
a high pressure hydraulic system. Wear the
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for a pin hole leak in a hose or fitting.
• Place safety stands or large blocks under the
frame before removing the tires or working
beneath the machine.
• Do not allow riders.
• Clear area of all bystanders, especially children.
• Stay well back from machine when operating.
Keep others away.
The fan speed will need adjusting depending on
what product is being applied or seeded. For
example, with a granular product (being applied
at lower rate) on a Pro-Till the fan speed will need
to be much lower than if seeding with a heavy
seed (at higher rates).
See "Pro-Cast Fan Speed Reference" chart in the
settings & adjustments section.
OVERVIEW OF FAN SPEED
GRANULAR CHEMICAL SAFETY
Some granular products are more harmful than
others. Read and strictly follow the instructions found

1. Determine application conditions to decide on correct
roller configuration:
• Speed
• Rate
• Width
Refer to the set-up manual supplied with your specific
Degelman Product Installation Kit or the Rate Chart
Decal for your product. Example of Decal shown:
2. Configure the meter roller components:
Note: If tank is already loaded, use the shut-off slide
to separate the tank from the meter.
• Change roller configuration by opening side
door of meter and engaging or disengaging
rollers as required.
• Rollers are engaged or disengaged by using the
drive screws that pass through the meter shaft.
(The meter may need to be jogged in calibration
mode to orient the drive screws and/or meter
shaft to gain access.)
Note: Additional drive screws are stored in the
toolbox.
• Engage or disengage the agitator/mixer shaft
to your preference by sliding the plastic gear on
or off the main shaft gear. Generally the agitator
shaft is used for product that doesn't flow well.
3. Load Tank.
4. Calibrate machine with product in tank to determine
your calibration factor. (Refer to Calibration
Procedure Section)
5. Double check settings.
• Check speed setting to ensure either GPS or
wheel speed selected
• Check correct application rate
• Ensure hydraulics are engaged
6. Turn on fan.
7. Turn on Master Switch.
8. Drive.
OPERATING OVERVIEW
Check the target distances for sensors that may have
shifted. The desired Sensor Target distance is 2mm.
SENSOR TARGET DISTANCES
Calibration Door Sensor (In metering settings):
• "Open Lo" - with sensor option
• "No" - if no sensor option
Note: "Open Hi" setting may be required if wiring
polarity is opposite.
CALIBRATION DOOR SENSOR
Refer to explanations for settings in the
"Console Settings Overview" section.
SOFTWARE SETTINGS & WALK THROUGH
Note that the first time the machine is connected
to a tractor, it will take longer than usual to load.
The object pool needs to be loaded into the tractors
memory. When this is happening, it will display this
symbol . (Symbol may vary, Case IH graphic
shown)
Once the object pool has loaded, each time the
machine is powered up you will see a floppy disc
instead of the object pool icon.
If your monitor displays an error on first connection,
it has likely "timed out" while trying to load the object
pool. This can be resolved by clearing the monitor's
object pool. Refer to your tractor or monitor manual
for instructions.

METER ROLLER SLIPPED SPACER PLATE
IMPORTANT: Never close the metering door when
there is strong resistance. Foreign objects may be
present or a roller separator/spacer plate(s) may
have slipped out of correct position. Forcing the
door closed may result in damage to threaded door
rod or other components.
Correct roller/spacer plate alignment.
Significantly slipped spacer plate alignment.
It is possible for the roller wheel spacer plates to slip
out of position when rearraging or switching the
roller wheels. This can be identified when the roller
wheel ribs no longer extend slightly past the edge of
the spacer plates.
If the spacer plate(s) have slipped, you may try to
reposition them by hand but you may need to open
the side of the housing with the same procedure
as replacing the rollers in order to realign the
components.
METER ROLLER COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENTS
Low compression: Insufficient side pressure creates gaps.
High compression: Wheel rib edges become curled/wavy.
When inspecting the meter rollers, it is important
to recognise if the roller axial (side-to-side)
compression is too high or too low.
Low Compression: Roller wheels that no longer
seal properly against the spacer plates can allow
pressurized air to enter the seed tank preventing
the rollers from filling properly. Loss of compression
can be caused by normal wear of the roller wheels
over time or it may also result from insufficient
compression of the foam spring during meter wheel
component assembly (not enough spacer plates).
Allowing abrasive material between rollers and
spacer plates will also accelerate wear.
High Compression: Roller wheels will overheat and
quickly wear out if the compression is too high. If
the ribs of the roller wheels appear to be wavy or
curl at the ends, this is a sign that the compression
is too high typically caused when too many spacer
plates are installed when configuring the rollers.
NOTE: Ensure that the foam spring protrudes only
2-3mm past the meter housing when assembling.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Insert shut-off slide if the tank contains product.
Open side door of meter to get access to meter
rollers. Consider wheel engagement - How many
wheels do you need activated to achieve optimal
function?
• Optimal meter speed range is 60-80 RPM.
• The meter speed is determined from a combination
of tractor speed, machine width, target rate, and
calibration factor.
Refer to the set-up manual supplied with your specific
Degelman Product Installation Kit or the Rate Chart
Decal for your product. Example of Decal shown:
2. Insert or remove the roller drive screws as required.
3. Close meter side door.
4. From main screen on display, press the gear icon to
bring up the settings.
5. In settings, select the meter icon in the top right hand
corner.
6. In Meter Drive settings, select the calibration icon on
the right.
7. Pre-fill the meter wheels with product to be calibrated
using the pre-fill button (if required).
8. Use expected field speed.
9. Start the test with the play button .
10. If operator has a calibration door sensor, and the
calibration door is closed, the monitor will alarm
to warn the operator that the calibration door is
closed. Close warning and hit play again to enter the
calibration test.
11. From the tool box grab the scale and calibration
bag.
12. Hang the scale under the Pro-Cast frame and turn
on.
13. Hang the calibration bag on the scale and tare
(zero).
14. Slide calibration bag underneath meter.
15. Press the Green button to engage the calibration
process. Ensure hands are clear of the meter gears.
Note: If the meter fails to start, it is most likely
because the expected meter speed is too low. This
is controlled by adjusting the calibration factor,
tractor speed, or the application rate.
16. When bag is nearing capacity, press the green
button again. There can be a delay after pressing
the button until it stops, so it is best not to wait until
the last moment. Aim for either a 3/4 full bag or,
for low application rates, wait 1-2 minutes.
17. Remove bag from underneath the meter and hook
on to the scale to get the product weight.
18. Now go back to the tractor and look at the monitor.
19. Press the play button again to advance to the next
screen.
20. The monitor will display the expected weight output
based on the number of rotational pulses it detected
from the meter speed sensor.
21. Change the expected weight to the actual weight
and complete the process.
22. The monitor will display the new calibration factor
based on the difference.
23. If the percentage error (Actual/Expected x 100) is
outside of farmers expected accuracy, repeat the
process to refine the calibration factor.
Note: If the calibration factor is not changing or
changing by very small increments (ie. 0.01), the
machine is calibrated.
24. When available, a demonstration video of the
calibration process will be posted on our YouTube
Channel. Follow the links from our website or visit:

Operation - Settings & Adjustments
FAN SPEED (Hyd Block Adjustment)
Adjustments to the hydraulic block flow controls
adjust hydraulic flow and can thus change fan
speed to prevent free wheeling of the meter motor.
See below for a brief overview on how fan speed
can be adjusted.
The hydraulic flow can be adjusted with 2 flow
controls on the hydraulic block:
1. The first flow control splits flow between the fan
and meter motor. This is adjusted by using a set
screw on the front of the hydraulic block.
To adjust:
i. Remove cap. (9/16" wrench)
ii. Use Allen key (3/16") to turn in or out.
In = more flow to the fan.
Out = more flow to the meter.
• This will be factory set. Adjustments required
should be minor if any.
• Meter motor must be stationary. Too much
hydraulic flow to the meter motor will result in
the meter spinning when turned off. This will
lead to plugging of the machine.
• Optimal setting is when the fan remains
stationary as hydraulics are engaged. Once
hydraulics are engaged and the fan is turned
on, it is common for it to remain rotating
slowly after the fan is turned off.
2. The second flow control is adjusted by the knob
on the bottom of the hydraulic block.
• This control will restrict the fan motor flow and
can be used to directly adjust fan speed.
• Alternatively, the flow controls on the
tractor can be used to control fan speed.
For reference, we have been using a flow
percentage of 51% on our high flow ports
while operating this machine.
Note: It is normal for the fan to continue spinning
slowly (500-700 RPM) when fan is shut off on the
monitor & hydraulics are still engaged after initial
start-up.
IMPORTANT: Fan speed should be adjusted via
tractor flow if possible. Adjusting the hydraulic
manifold should only be done if necessary.

The following chart is meant as a starting point to help
assist you in finding the optimum fan speed for your
particular application. Some factors to keep in mind are:
Fan speed too low = Plugging
In between = Optimal fan speed
Fan speed too high = Bridging
Note: Always test new products in simulation mode
to confirm an optimal fan speed.

system separately and improves operation. Then, the
implement simply engages the ground to start the
meter again.
This option allows you to change the input for
the switch. Depending on configuration, this may
change.
(Generally, this will more likely be used on Pro-Till
machines rather than Strawmaster.)
Implement Configuration Screen
4. External Master Switch - It is possible to add an
external master switch to the system. This will act like
hitting the meter on/off button on the main screen.
Use this setting to incorporate it.
(This can be used on a Strawmaster in place of a
workswitch.)
5. Machine Geometry - Press this to input the machine
geometry.

1. Renaming - Rename product profiles here.
2. Product Type - Type of material. Seed or granular.
3. Target Rate - Preferred target rate for the product.
4. Target Rate Increment - Target rate increment is
how much the target rate changes with incremental
changes on the main screen.
5. Calibration Factor - Input calibration factor based
on experience here. I would still recommend a
calibration test. But with an accurate calibration
factor, one test should be enough to confirm.
