4.8 FILLING THE SEED HOPPER
4.8.1 FILLING FROM A BULK BAG
NOTE: 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 fertiliser hopper should be filled first. Then it is possible to safely stand on the seed
hopper bottom grille when cutting open the fertiliser sacks. It is best to use an extension
handle on the knife.
2. Think safety; never stand under a suspended load! Make sure nobody is present on the drill
when the seed and fertiliser are brought up to it.
3. Avoid contact with and inhalation of seed dressing.
4.8.2 FILLING FROM SMALL BAGS
NOTE: The ladder and platform on the machine are 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.
1. Pay attention to safety. Never walk under a suspended load! Make sure nobody is present on
the drill when the seed and fertiliser are brought up to it.
2. The fertiliser hopper should be filled first. Then it is possible to safely stand on the seed
hopper bottom grille when cutting open the fertiliser sacks.
