4.6 Storing the drill
Figure 4.14
The drill should be stored indoors when not in use. This is particularly important because the drill
contains electronic equipment. The electronic components are of very high quality and can with-
stand a lot of moisture but we still recommend that the drill be stored indoors. The Control Box
should be stored at room temperature during the winter and between seasons.
Highly finished metal parts of the drill, e.g. the piston rods and wearing surfaces, should be
greased before winter storage.
Ensure that the drill is thoroughly cleaned. Let the emptying hatch remain open and remove the
air hose from the ejector tube to allow air to circulate.
Before the drill is unfolded in freezing temperatures, it must be allowed to stand for a while in a
warm building for the seed hoses to become flexible again.
