4. Lift the lid slightly at the pivot end to clear the
strainer.
5. Swing the lid away from the strainer. Open only
enough to accomplish the present task.
Each hopper is equipped with a strainer intended to:

capture large foreign matter in seed and
materials,

prevent entry by animals if lid left open, and;

discourage hopper entry by children.
The strainer is secured by two bolts. Leave the
strainer in place except during strainer and hopper
cleaning.
6. Each time the lid is opened, inspect the strainer
for debris, and if clear, inspect the hopper itself.
7. If the strainer needs to be removed for cleaning,
do not perform these steps until immediately
ready to clean the strainer and return it to the
hopper:

Wear gloves suitable for protection against
recent fertilizers or seed treatments.

Fully open the hopper lid.

Remove the strainer bolts.

Lift the strainer out of the hopper.

Immediately close and latch the lid.

Clean and dry the strainer.

Return the strainer to the hopper. Install the
strainer bolts.
Hopper Lid Closing
1. Swing the lid over the opening until the hook (2)
is centered on the u-bolt (3).
2. Open the handle (1) and engage the hook on the
u-bolt.
3. Close the handle for operations or short-term
parking. For long-term storage, do not engage
the hook or latch handle to avoid deforming the
seal.
For storage, particularly unlatched, use a padlock
through both u-bolts to discourage unauthorized
entry by persons not aware of possible confined
space risks. It also prevents entry of pests, debris,
and precipitation.

Seed Meters
Meter Doors
Each meter box has two meter doors. Both meter
doors are used for meter clean-out.
The meter doors are closed during transport,
loading, and planting. The meter doors may be open
slightly in storage to allow drainage of condensation.
The meter doors need to be closed and sealed tightly
during planting. Periodically inspect the handles for
proper tension. Also inspect the elastomer seals for
integrity and resiliency.
The meter doors are used for cleaning out the
meter. Do not open the meter doors until
preparations have been made to capture any
material to be reused.
Material Loss / Air Leak Risks
As soon as meter doors are open, any
material present will flow immediately,
possibly in large volume. It is not possible
to close the meter doors with an adequate
air seal until the hopper is empty.
