OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Figure 4-17: Fertilizer Box Clean Out
Fertilizer Box – Clean Out
1. The fertilizer meters may be accessed for
maintenance or cleaning by removing the door
located at the bottom of the fertilizer meter assembly
(See Figure 4-17.)
2. Remove any remaining dry fertilizer from inside the
fertilizer compartment. Be prepared to catch the
remaining fertilizer before opening the door. Position
the drill over a smooth, clean, dry surface, or spread
out a tarp below the box. Release and unhook the
latches and allow the door to swing forward.
3. Dry fertilizer is very corrosive and absorbs moisture.
Clean out any fertilizer as soon as possible after
using the drill.
4. Storage – before storing the drill for extended
periods, clean out any remaining seed and fertilizer
from the boxes. Remove the fertilizer doors on the
outside of the box and fertilizer covers on the inside
of the box. Use water to wash out any remaining
fertilizer within the boxes and in the fertilizer meter
assemblies.
