Secure walkboard with keeper.
Note: If planter is lowered, walkboard will stay open by
itself once fully opened. There is a keeper near the
walkboard pivot that can hold the walkboard open
in all conditions.
Refer to Figure 34

Remove pins
at the corners of the airbox frame.
Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:
Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body to
mix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring and
mixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard.
May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in high concentra-
tions. As with all mineral spills, minimize dusting during
clean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury. Prod-
uct can become slippery when wet.
8.
When using a bulk seed box,
new meters for the first time, or
at the start of each season,
measure out approximately 4 gallons (15 liters) of
seed into a pail. Add
1
⁄
2
cup (120 ml) of Ezee Glide
Plus seed lubricant to the pail. Mix and pour into air
box before mounting hopper.
Flow Inconsistency and Stoppage Risk:
Ezee Glide Plus is mandatory for all seed, especially treated
or inoculated seed. Failure to use this seed lubricant as
recommended can cause inconsistent seed flow to meters, and
clogging at meters. See “Seed Lubricant” on page 111.
Note: On a new planter, the interior surfaces of the seed
hoses are somewhat tacky until they are coated
with seed lubricant. Before planting for the first
time, and at the start of each season, add
1
⁄
3
cup
(80 ml) Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant to bottom of
airbox.
Note: The monitor system includes a level sensor located
below hopper to warn when box is empty. This
typically provides three to four acres (1.2 to 1.6 ha)
of run time before rows start going empty.
9.
At the airbox seed inlet, inspect the seals for wear
and damage.
10. If mounting a seed box, add Ezee Glide Plus to the
seed box at this time. It may be easier to add it while
the box is still at ground level.
