Covering
The hopper is closed with a covering.
WARNING
Risk of injury when opening and closing the
covering
¾
Do not let your hand or fingers get caught
between lid and hopper.
¾
Always keep the covering (3) closed to protect
the seed against contamination, dust and
moisture.
In case of extreme development of dust, this
dust can deposit in the hopper and fill up the
roller flutes. This causes metering errors and
unnecessary wear inside the metering unit.
Filling
The hopper can be filled from the rear with a
front loader of Big Packs or sacks. The hopper
can be filled from the side with Big Packs.
