MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE FERTILISER
HOPPER
The fertiliser hopper should be thoroughly cleaned after use and potential rust areas
brushed down with diesel. The fertiliser slide may be easily removed without tools as
shown below.
Remove the slide at the end of your planting season to ensure it can not corrode in
place.
To empty or clean the fertiliser hopper remove the Auger Baffle and the rear
Inspection Panels and brush out any remaining fertiliser.
