A.F. Gason Pty Ltd is an Australian owned
family business operating from within rural
Victoria. The Gason company has been
servicing the needs of rural Australians for
more than 60 years. We operate through a
local dealer support network that spans the
country. A.F. Gason’s would like to thank
you for purchasing your Australian made Air
Seeder, and trust that you will have many
years of trouble free service.
The Air Seeders have been designed
to be functional, practical and reliable. They
incorporate the latest technology in air
seeder design but retain their basic
functionality to ensure ease of
maintenance.
The Gason 1800 and 2000 range of
Air Seeders can perform a variety of
seeding operations and are available in
either a front tow (FT) or rear tow (RT)
model. There are a number of bin
capacities available with either 2 or 3 bin
configurations. A large range of sowing
outlet configurations are available, making
the Air Seeder adaptable to a variety of
implements to perform different tillage
practices.
The Gason metering system is a
positive and accurate method of placing seed
and fertilizer into the air stream. The system
is capable of sowing conventionally, often
referred to as single shooting (seed and
fertilizer together), deep banding (separating
the seed and fertilizer) or triple shooting
(handling 3 separate products through to the
implement). The system can also sow
summer and winter crops with minimal
adjustment.
This manual endeavors to provide the
owner with a complete understanding of the
Air Seeder’s operation and the processes
required to obtain the highest level of
performance possible. It is suggested that
the owner/operator read this manual and any
other literature that has been supplied with
your machine to ensure a safe and trouble
free operation.
References to the left and right hand sides of
the Air Seeder are from the rear of the
machine looking forward.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction
The Air Seeder uses the flow of air to
convey seed and fertilizer to each tine. This
type of material transfer is known as
pneumatic conveyance (refer Fig. G1).
The material being sown must be
metered accurately into the air stream to
deliver a constant application rate.
How the Air Seeder Operates
Seed and fertilizer are transferred from
pressurized bins to multiple conveying
tubes via separate meterboxes. A
meterwheel arrangement inside the
meterbox is rotated by either a ground
wheel (ground drive seeder) or hydraulic
motor (VRT equipped Seeder).
As the ground wheel rotates, so too does
the metering system. The metering system
can be disengaged or engaged at the tractor
cab.
A blower is located upstream of the
meterbox on the Air Seeder. It is used to
produce the airflow required to convey the
material.
The seed and fertilizer is conveyed
towards the implement. It is then evenly
divided into smaller amounts as it passes
through the primary splitters.
The material then travels along the
secondary hoses to the secondary manifold
heads. It is distributed to the tertiary hoses
and transferred to the sowing boots mounted
on the tines.

Air Seeder Construction
The RT model air seeders trail behind
the implement while the FT models are
towed in front of the implement. The basic
operation of both designs is the same other
than the location of the seeder.
The RT models are supplied with all
components to attach to the rear of the
implement. Some modifications may be
required when fitting to non-Gason
implements but in most cases fitment is a
straight forward operation. The rear tow
models are also available with a rear hitch
system that attaches to the rear of the
seeder, which will allow a set of harrows or
light prickle chain to be towed.
The FT models are fitted with a roller
style rear hitch with which to pull the
implement. This hitch, when left unpinned,
dramatically reduces the load on the seeder
during turning which will help extend the life
of the machine. The trailer has also been
designed to withstand the high loads exerted
on the frame while pulling the implement.
In both cases, the seeders have been
designed to allow quick and easy
detachment from the implement and tractor.
The 1800 and 2000 air seeder range
has a folding ladder that is fitted to the left
hand side of the machine. The walkway is
set low and runs along the left side or
between the front and rear bins. This offers
a safe environment in which to fill the large
capacity machine.
The bins have been made from 2.5 and
3mm thick mild steel with folded corners,
which are fully welded, on both internal and
external joints.
The bins have been produced in two
halves and are painted using a high bake
enamel to reduce corrosion both inside and
out before joining. The bin halves are then
joined using structural quality rivets and
sealed with high-grade sealant. The sealant
Fig.G2 RT Model Air Seeder
shown fitted with
4 outlet meterboxes.

General Information

can be replaced at any time, if required,
without splitting the bins.
The trailers are built from 350/450-
grade rectangular hollow section with either
side plates or truss system for stiffening. It
has been designed and tested to reduce
the possibility of rearing if unevenly loaded.
The metering system incorporates
nylon and stainless steel componentry in
areas affected by fertiliser induced
corrosion.
The output of the ground driven
metering system is controlled by a stepless
variable speed gearbox, which can easily
be adjusted. Each meter system has its
own separate adjustment. VRT equipped
seeders use individual hydraulic motors to
control metering rates.
The blower’s hydraulic system uses
quality components and will require minimal
maintenance. The system has been
designed to operate in a harsh environment.
It is fitted with a check valve to prevent
damage if incorrectly connected.
The blower is mounted on the trailer
frame and houses a high capacity impeller.
It has been specifically designed to operate
in the rough conditions that occur during
normal operation. The impeller is directly
mounted to the motor, which means that
there are no external bearings or an external
coupling.
Calibrating the ground driven metering
system has been simplified by providing a
chart with instructions to the side of the bin.
There is no need to calculate figures if
calibrating within average application rates.
A collection tray and an accurate scale
set is included with the Air Seeder.
For further information on individual
aspects of the seeder refer to the appropriate
section in this manual.

SAFETY
Page 6
02/07
The Air Seeder has been designed
with safety in mind. However, the
equipment is only as safe as the person
operating it.
Do not operate the Air Seeder until
you have read and understood this manual.
If you feel you need help or advice on the
operation of the Seeder, contact your local
authorized Gason Dealer.
To ensure trouble free and safe
operation of your seeder, it is important to
carry out a daily safety check to reduce the
possibility of a costly breakdown.
Items to Check Daily During Operation
1. Check all wheel nuts are tight during the
first couple of days of seeding or after
transportation (refer page 17).
2. Check all tyre pressures and tyre
conditions in general. NOTE: a badly
worn rear drive tyre will affect the
metering accuracy.
3. Ensure the safety guard on the blower
unit is fitted.
4. Check all hydraulic breakaway
connections are locked into position.
5. Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks.
6. Check all chains and sprockets for wear
or movement on the shaft.
7. Check metershafts turn freely before
operating each day or after transporting
when loaded (refer page 62).
8. Check draw bar pins for wear.
9. Ensure bin lids are closed and that there
are no air leaks when blower is
operating.
10.Check distribution hoses for damage or
kinks, especially after operating the wing
fold system on the implement.
General Safety Conditions
DO NOT ride on the machine when
operating.
DO NOT touch or attempt to adjust any
moving parts.
DO NOT adjust hydraulic fittings while
under pressure.
DO NOT remove any safety guards while
the seeder is operating.
DO NOT operate the machine unless all
safety guards are securely fitted.
DO carry out the daily safety checks and
operate the seeder in a safety conscious
manner.
Hydraulics
Before working on the hydraulic system
always check that the blower is not
operating, and that there is no pressure in
the hydraulic system.
Never attempt to disconnect a
breakaway coupling if the blower is
operating. Turn the tractor off if working on
the metering system of a VRT equipped
seeder.
Leaving the Air Seeder Unattended
Always close the bin lids and ensure
that no material is left in the bins after
seeding. Chock the Air Seeder wheels to
prevent it from rolling.
When Working on the Air Seeder
Place suitable stands under the trailer if
removing a wheel or carrying out major work.
Never enter the bin compartment
unless another person is present. Always
take proper safeguards if entering a bin or
working on components that have been
exposed to treated seed.
Wear ear protection if working near the
blower while operating.

Safety
Page 7
02/07
Transporting
Never transport the seeder with the
clutch switch engaged (ground drive
models).
Avoid transporting the seeder long
distances when loaded. Do not exceed
20km/h when towing the seeder when
loaded. Maximum speed for towing an
empty seeder is 40km/h. Use safety chains
where provided.
For further information and helpful tips
on transporting refer to the Transporting
section of this manual (refer page 29).
Lifting the Air Seeder
The Air Seeder has been supplied
with 2 lifting eyes located on the trailer
frame between the bins.
The 1860-2150 model seeders will
require a third front sling for lifting.
Ensure you have safe lifting
equipment with the correct capacity before
attempting to hoist the machine.
Fig. G4 2150RT fully assembled being lifted.
When lifting the seeder it is preferable
to use soft slings and shackles at the trailer.
If chains must be used ensure that the bins
are protected against paint damage.
