4. Pre-mix seed and lubricant.
For clean seeds other than milo, cotton, and
sunflowers sprinkle 1/4 cup of Ezee Glide Plus per
bushel or unit (60 ml per 35 liters) of seed.
For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the
application to 1/2 cup (or more) per bu.or unit (120
ml per 35 liters) of seed.
Population Risk: The seed must be properly lubricated,
starting with the first seed through the meter. If unable to
pre-mix prior to loading, pre-mix at least one gallon (4
liters) per hopper, and load this seed first. Fill the
hoppers to half full with fresh seed. Add half the lubricant
and stir with a tool. Complete filling the hoppers and
sprinkle the remaining lubricant on top.
Add seed and lubricant to hoppers.
Close lids.
If the lid has a draw handle, position front end of lid over
front end lip of hopper. Snap lid firmly in place. Latch the
draw handle.
If the lid does not have a draw handle, center the lid on
the opening and push down. Make sure spring clips are
all engaged.
