15. If mounting a seed container for the first time in a
season, open the new seed container and measure
out approximately 3 gallons (11 liters) of seed into a
pail. Add
1
/
3
cup (80 ml) of lubricant. Mix and pour
into air box before mounting the container.
Plugging and Inconsistent Population Risks:
Ezee Glide Plus or Bayer Seed Fluency Agent is mandatory for
all seed, especially treated or inoculated seed. Insufficient
seed lubricant can cause system plugging, skips and doubles.
16. If mounting a seed box, add lubricant to the seed box
at this time. It may be easier to add it while the box is
still at ground level.
17. Approach the hopper or seed box from the back (the
side with the slide gate).
Tipping Hazard:
Do not let anyone stand under or in front of the elevated seed
box. Make sure your tractor or fork lift is rated for and
configured to lift the weight. A full seed box can weight over
2500 pounds (1134 kg); a full 82 bu. hopper over 5000 pounds
(2270 kg).
18. If mounting a seed hopper, confirm that the hopper is
the correct version for that side. The left hopper has
the lid hinge on the left. The right hopper has the lid
hinge on the right.
19. Slowly lift the full seed box or empty hopper, and
place it in the product air box frame.
20. Install the box retaining pins in frame corners.
21. If the hopper has a level sensor, connect that lead to
the “HOPPER 2” lead of the product harness,
located below the hydraulic drive in the center
section.
22. Close and pin walkboard.
23. It may be necessary to make a one-time adjustment
to the seal on the top of the air box, to obtain full
contact between air box and seed box/hopper.
24. If installing an empty hopper for planting, load seed
(and lubricant).
25. Open the slide gate.
Inoperable Configuration Risk:
It is possible to lift the hopper or seed box from any side, but it
will only function properly if the seed gate is to the rear of the
product.
