with a step level or with an optional equipment including a step level (band press wheels
etc.), the filling gets easier.
The sieves are dimensioned so that several bags can be lifted onto the sieve
simultaneously side by side. Do not overload the drill.
Big sacks (500–1000 kg) can be handled with different loaders. Big sacks must never
be placed on the seed drill structures. Do not overload the seed drill. Identify methods
for partially emptying a big sack.
WARNING!
When filling the machine, never pass under a load which is
suspended from a loader or otherwise lifted, or under the
lifting structure.
When using loose fertilizer and/or seeds, we recommend the use of a high-tipping trailer
or fill-screw. When using a tipping trailer, the tipping point must be selected with care in
order to prevent the carriage from overturning.

Emptying containers
Emptying the fertilizer container
The fertilizer hopper is emptied through the coulters. Adjust the feeding to its max.
position and place a plastic sheet or similar under the machine and lift the bottom valve
lever for fertilizer feeding system (fig. 3) as high as possible. Thus the hopper is emptied
almost completely. Steer the remaining fertilizer e.g. by hand or with a brush to the
feeding chambers. Rotate the feeder some turns either with the wheel or a crank in
order to empty the chambers.
In order to prevent seeds from getting among fertilizer the calibration test troughs under
the feeding chambers must be in place. In the end swing the bottom valves quickly a
couple of times by means of the lever in order to make the fertilizer left on the valves to
flow down.
