Maintenance
When using graphite powder
with treated/inoculated seeds, it
is necessary to clean the system
twice a day.
NOTE
It is necessary to make a general
cleaning in each seed metering daily. To do
this, remove the seed plate and observe the
metering mechanism operation. By doing so,
the best planting will be assured.
Cleaning the seed metering
• The driving mechanism chains should be removed at the end of the planting season,
cleaned and stored in a recipient with oil until the next planting season.
• Remove the fertilizer hoses and wash them immediately just with water and neutral
soap.
• Wash the whole equipment, especially the fertilizer hoppers, using only water.
• Verify all the moving parts of the planter for wearing occurence. If necessary, replace
some parts and leave the planter ready for the next planting season.
• Repair the damaged paintwork.
• Spray the metallic parts with protective oil. Never spray used engine lubricant oil.
• After making all repairs and maintenance cares, store the planter in a covered and
dry place.
• Keep the planter properly supported and avoid the direct contact of the discs and
tires with the soil.
Planter storage
• Use TATU original parts only.
