4.6 Filling the Seed Hopper

4.6.1 Filling From a Bulk Bag

4.6.2 Filling From Small Bags

The seed hoppers are most easily filled from the front right-hand side. The wing 
sections should be folded down. The loader must have an extension arm.

1. The fertilizer hopper (rear) should be filled first. Then it is possible to safely 
stand on the front hopper bottom grille when cutting open the fertilizer sacks.
It is best to use an extension handle on the knife.

2. Avoid contact with, and inhalation of, seed dressing.

CAUTION! Never stand under a suspended load! Make sure
nobody is present on the drill when the seed and fertilizer
are brought up to it.

IMPORTANT! The ladder and platform on the machine is
not intended to be used for manual loading from small bags.
The best method of filling is by using a loader and having 
the bags on a pallet.
