Material Clean-Out
When planting is completed, it is commonly the case that
some seed remains. There may be seed in the hopper
and seed in the meters.
A complete system clean-out is a 2 step process.
A. Scoop or vacuum seed from above box.
B. Clean out meters and inlets.
Seed Box Clean-Out
From above, use a scoop, bucket or vacuum to remove
as much seed as possible from the box. This usually
takes much less time than draining the box through
individual meters.
Meter Clean-Out
Shut off sliding seed tubes before attempting to clean out seed
meters.
1.
Position tarp or buckets under the opener(s) whose
meter(s) you will be cleaning out.
2.
Remove retaining clip
and pull pin.
3.
Pull up on meter clean out door
to open.
4.
When meter is empty, push meter clean out door
back to its original position to close.
You may need to shake the clean out door a little
before closing to make sure all seeds fall out.
