Prepare Meter Doors
Material and Time Loss Risk:
Check the doors before loading, every time. If the Clean-Out
door is open, even slightly, it will be essentially impossible to
close adequately with material loaded.
Refer to Figure 30
8.
Verify that both doors at the bottom of the central
hopper meter are tightly closed. After long storage,
they are commonly tied slightly closed, to allow
drainage of condensation and to avoid permanently
compressing the door seals. The doors must be fully
closed for loading and field operations.
If the hopper is empty, Great Plains advises opening
both doors, wiping down the meter lips and door
seals, then fully closing both doors.
Load Fertilizer
Add dry fertilizer to the hopper.
Do not fill above the 3500 L (100 BU.) mark.
Use only granular dry fertilizer.
Do not add liquid treatments.
Lid Closing
Refer to Figure 31
1.
Swing lid over opening until capture hook
is
centered on U-bolt.
2.
Open handle
and engage hook
on U-bolt.
3.
Close handle
for operations or short-term parking.
For long-term storage, do not engage hook or latch
handle, to avoid deforming the seal.
4.
For storage, particularly unlatched, a padlock
through both U-bolts deters unauthorized lid
opening, preventing entry of pests, debris and
precipitation.
Close walkboard rail section if opened for auger material
loading.
