Installation of Transfer Container to Base Container:
1. Remove rain cover from base container (see
Figure 12). Store rain cover for use when transfer
container is not installed on base container.
2. Apply a light dusting of baby powder/talc
on the base container seal prior to seating trans-
fer container. This step is necessary to avoid
damage to the seals during removal of transfer
container. Do not use a petroleum based silicon
spray or graphite to lubricate the seals.
3. Remove the transfer container valve cover.
Store cover for use when returning transfer container
back to chemical dealer.
4. Orient the transfer container so that the valve
handles face away from the planter seed hopper.
5. Lower the transfer container so each valve is
fully inserted into the mating base container valve. If
valves are not fully seated, they will not open to re-
lease product to the base container.
6. Clamp transfer container to base container.
You may need to rock the container from side to side
to make sure that clamps are secure. If the transfer
container is not clamped securely, the clamps may be made more secure by in-
creasing the bend in the clamp arm which hooks onto the transfer container. Insert
the locking clips through the clamps to further secure the transfer containers.
7. Turn valves counter-clockwise 60° to open transfer container. If valve does not
open smoothly, then the valve is not seated properly; unclamp container and repeat
steps 4 -6 above.
