Seed Meter Clean-Out
The planter container for meter clean-out is stored at
the right rear under the walkboard. This container
can hold all the seed in a meter and inlet.
The container can also be converted to a funnel for
complete system clean-out.
Material and tools needed for the conversion are:

A length of 1 3/8 inch (3.5 cm) ID hose (2)

A worm drive clamp (3) with a working diameter of 1
3/8 to 2 1/4 inch (3.5 to 5.7 cm)

A hacksaw with a fine-toothed blade
The funnel wall is thin ABS. Scissor-type
pipe-cutting tools may fracture it. Rotary-
type pipe cutting tools may slip off.
To convert the container (1):
1. Trim the sump (4) with the hacksaw.
2. Slide the hose (2) sully onto the funnel tip.
3. Secure with the clamp (3). Do not over-tighten
the clamp or the funnel wall will be crushed.
Attach the container/funnel to the housing of the
seed meter to free your hands for other tasks during
clean-out.
1. Close the seed inlet gate on the meter to
minimize the seed volume when the disk is
removed.
2. Remove the rain cover. The container/funnel
cannot be snapped in place with the rain cover
installed.
3. Align the left (rear) end of th container/funnel lip
(1) with the top of the lower (rear) rain cover latch
ear.
4. Place the right (front) end of the container/funnel
lip (2) between the meter housing and the seed
tube.
5. Rotate the container/funnel forward until the slot
engages a tab on the bottom center of the meter
housing (2).
6. Remove the seed disk.
7. Slowly open the seed inlet gate to empty the
seed up to the Y-tube or wing tube.
8. If the air system is running (with Y-tube open),
there may be more seed than the container can
hold. Use the seed inlet gate to turn off seed flow
to empty the container.
9. Clean seed from all brushes. A shop vacuum is
recommended to clean the brushes.
10. Inspect the brushes.
11. Rotate the container/funnel clockwise to remove
and empty.
12. If the planter will be used again.
