Strainer
Refer to Figure 11
Each hopper is equipped with a strainer
intended to:
• capture foreign matter in seed and materials that is too
large to pass through the meter, and
• prevent entry.
Leave the strainer in place except during strainer and
hopper cleaning.
Check the strainer for residue prior to each loading
operation. Remove, empty and return it to the hopper.
For strainer or hopper cleaning, the strainer lifts out when
the lid is fully open.
