Possible Agricultural Chemical Hazards:
Read and follow all supplier cautions for safe handling of
treated seed.
Irritant and Chronic Exposure Hazards:
Do not mix lubricants into seed with hands or any part of
body. Wear protective equipment. Use tools. See page 91.
11. Pre-mix seed and lubricant. For clean seeds other
than milo, cotton, and sunflowers sprinkle Ezee Glide
Plus seed lubricant at a rate of 71 ml per 42 liters
(one hopper) of seed.
For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the
application to 142 ml (or more) per 42 liters of seed.
Population Risk:
The seed must be properly lubricated, starting with the first
seed through the meter. If unable to pre-mix prior to loading,
pre-mix at least 4 liters of seed per hopper, and load this seed
first. Fill the hoppers to half full with fresh seed. Add half the
lubricant and stir. Complete filling the hoppers and sprinkle
the remaining lubricant on top.
12. Add seed and lubricant to hoppers.
Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 on page 22
13. Close lids. With lid tilted up at a slight angle, hook
the two front hinge lugs under the front hopper lip.
Swing down, keeping fingers clear of lug, and latch
the single rear lid lug on rear hopper lip.
Equipment Loss Risk:
Check that all 3 lid lugs are completely under the hopper lip,
or the lid may come off in transport.
