9.7 Placing and removing the seed reservoir
Warning :
• Prior to placing/removing the seed reservoir, the engine must be switched off.
• Placement and removal of the seed reservoir must always be performed by two
people.
Removal
• Stop the engine and place all handles in their neutral position.
• Close the seed reservoir by operating the handle on the handlebar.
• Turn the handlebar into its farthest position (read § 9.4.1.3), placing it perpendicular to the
machine and thus providing better access to the seed reservoir.
• Disengage the drive of the rotating drum with the handle (1) on
the right hand side of the machine.
• With two people, lift the seed reservoir from the machine by
the two handgrips (2) provided.
Tips:
Observe the correct body posture (straight back, bended knees,
...).
Unload some seed from the seed reservoir before removing the reservoir from the machine.
• Position and store the seed reservoir in such a way that the dosage system, the drive of the
rotating drum and the guide plate cannot be damaged.
• Bear in mind that the cover may flip open during manipulation of the seed reservoir, resulting
in the loss of seed.
• Always store the seed container in a dry place.
