Ø
Do not reach into the rotating metering unit.
Ø Whenever performing assembly work on the motor mount it with the bore fa-
cing down to prevent water from entering the housing.
Towards the bottom the metering unit is completed by the fall sluice. In the fall
sluice the seed is picked up by the air flow.
During calibration the seed is taken out of the metering unit through the opening in
the fall sluice.
The covering must subsequently be closed again tightly.
