Operation
Position the seed tender next to planter so con-
veyor discharge will be over planter box. Start
engine on hydraulic power unit and increase
throttle speed. Raise conveyor to desired dis-
charge height, and pivot to location over planter.
Place telescoping spout over planter box. Open
door(s) on seed tender box to begin fl ow of
seed. Turn on conveyor by either sliding manual
control lever or activating electric on/off switch
to on position.
Fill box to desired level, and turn conveyor off.
Repeat process until each box/hopper is fi lled.
Adjusting engine speed on the hydraulic power
unit can regulate conveyor speed.
IMPORTANT: Do not let telescoping spout rest
in bottom of seed box. Seed will rapidly build
up and plug conveyor, resulting in potential
damage to belt.
It is recommended that the conveyor be emptied
once planter is fi lled. Do this by closing door(s)
on seed tender box shortly before last planter
box is full, and let conveyor empty out.
Control Rod
NOTE: When using the 8” conveyor to fi ll indi-
vidual planter boxes, the cover plate must be
installed over grate. This will slow grain fl ow
to an acceptable level for ease of use. Failure
to do so will result in over-fi lling conveyor and
potential damage to seed or conveyor.
Leaving seed in the conveyor for short periods
of time will not damage conveyor, nor will it
hinder starting/stopping conveyor when it is full,
but over time seed could begin to settle result-
ing in hard starting of the conveyor.
WARNING! THE REAR HOPPER OF THE
SEED TENDER BOX SHOULD ALWAYS
BE EMPTIED FIRST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN
WEIGHT ON THE HITCH OF THE TOWING VE-
HICLE. EMPTYING THE FRONT HOPPER FIRST
WITH THE REAR HOPPER FULL COULD RE-
SULT IN NEGATIVE TONGUE WEIGHT ON THE
UNDERCARRIAGE AND REDUCED CONTROL
OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHEN TOWING.
