Fertilizer Box Clean-Out
After applying fertilizer, clean drill boxes as soon as
possible. Fertilizers often contain chemicals corrosive to
metal.
Refer to Figure 90
With a small scoop or can, remove as much fertilizer as
possible from drill boxes.
Clean-out releases material across the entire length of a
section box. Have collection equipment prepared.
Release all clean-out latches on a drill section, and open
clean-out door. Leave door open until after washout.
Refer to Figure 91
Wash inside of drill boxes with water under high
pressure. To aid clean out, lift vinyl dew shield and spray
into fertilizer trays (with clean-out door open).
Let drill boxes dry before closing clean-out doors.

2. To recover remaining seed, place a collection tarp
under the small seeds tubes at the openers.
3. Raise drill.
4. Set seed rate handle to 100.
5. Rotate calibration crank or end wheel until no seed
flows.
