Preparing for operation
Emptying the seed
hopper
After a change of seed or after completing the seeding work, the seed
has to be emptied completely from the seed hoppers.
> Place a flat catch pan under the first sowing unit
> Open the hopper emptying flap
> Empty all of the seed. Giving the seed hopper a few gentle knocks
makes it easier to empty. because doing so separates clumped
seeds.
> Close the hopper emptying flap. Make sure that the hopper empty-
ing flap is securely sealed.
Vacuum system [+]
If you change the seed, the seed hopper has to be emptied complete-
ly. You can use the vacuum system to help you.
> Open the lid on the seed hopper
> Run the fan
> Open the valve on the vacuum system
> Take the hose from the hose bracket and vacuum the seed out of
the seed hopper
Check the fill level in the canister. If necessary, empty the canister.
> Close the valve on the vacuum system
> Press the canister down and remove it
> Empty the seed
> Refit the canister
Do not open the valve on the vacuum system unless the vacuum sy-
stem is required. Otherwise, the power of the fan will drop too much.
