The planter includes an 817-811C
a
container for meter
clean-out, stored in a spring-loaded holder at the right
rear of the air manifold. The container can hold all the
seed in the meter and inlet (up to a closed slide gate).
The container can be converted into a true funnel for
complete system clean-out.
The hoppers are connected to the rows with clamped
hose, and are not intended to be routinely unlatched
and tipped for clean-out.
Funnel Conversion
Materials and tools needed:
•
a length of 3.49 cm (1
3
/
8
in.) I.D. hose
•
a worm drive clamp with a working diameter of
approximately 3.4 cm to 5.7 cm
•
a hacksaw
b
with fine-toothed blade
Trim the sump from the funnel. Slide the hose fully
onto the funnel tip. Secure with clamp (do not
over-tighten clamp, the funnel wall could be crushed).
The choice of complete system clean-out process
depends on whether you are using the 817-811C as a
container or funnel.
Seed Clean-Out (Container)
1. Scoop or vacuum as much seed as possible from the
top of the hoppers.
2. Perform a meter clean-out per page 74.
Seed Clean-Out (Funnel)
1. Close slide gate at hopper.
2. Attach funnel as for meter clean-out (page 74), with
hose routed to bucket or other larger container.
3. Use slide gate to control seed flow until meter, inlet
and hopper are empty.
a. The funnel does not fit rows that are to the left of gauge wheels on twin-row planters. Use vacuum or tarp on those rows.
b. The funnel wall is thin ABS. Scissor-type pipe-cutting tools may fracture it. Rotary-type pipe cutting tools may slip off.
