5.8 FINISHING WORK WITH THE SEED
DRILL
• Completely empty the hopper from seeds and fertiliser.
• Wash the machine well with a lot of water, making sure that
no seeds, fertilizer or other products remain inside the ho-
ppers, metering units or ducts. Wash especially the parts of
the seed drill which are in contact with chemical products
(see section 9.3 CLEANING THE SEED DRILL).
• Thoroughly check all components of the seed drill and re-
place the ones which are damaged or worn.
• Delete any particle that can cause corrosion. If necessary,
use anti-corrosion paint.
• Grease and lubricate the indicated parts, chains, cogs and
pinions (see section 9.4 GREASING AND LUBRICATION).
