5.9 CLEANING
5.9.1 DISTRIBUTION HEAD
1. Check at regular intervals, and at the end of each season, that no seed, fertiliser or
packaging remains have got into the seed hoses or the seed head outlets. At the same time
check the cleanliness and operation of the tramline units.
2. Clean the seed hopper, rotor and seed box along with other parts at the end of the season.
Check that there is no seed or fertiliser left in the ejector tubes and associated air hoses.
3. Remember that any remaining seed that sprouts can block the air and seed hoses. Seed can
also attract small rodents, which can damage the machine.
4. Keep the fan running for a while, so that the whole system is blown dry.
5. Clean the glass plates in the seed heads before the season starts.
