If the grain drill is equipped with the dry
4-17.1
fertilizer option, it will have a combination
seed/fertilizer box. The seed/fertilizer box is
split for approximately 60% (2 bu/ft) seed
and 40% (1.25 bu/ft) fertilizer. The box may
be used for applying both seed and fertilizer,
or converted to use both compartments en-
tirely for seed.
a. To use the dry fertilizer option, the covers in
the bottom of the rear fertilizer compartment
must have the openings to the rear (See Fig-
ure 4-22). This will close off openings to the
seed compartment and allow dry fertilizer to
enter the fertilizer meters.

b. For increased seed capacity and non fertil-
izer use, the covers should be reversed with
the openings to the front of the seed box, and
the solid portion covering the fertilizer meters
(See Figure 4-23).
4-17.2 To change the fertilizer covers, remove
the plastic knobs holding each of the covers
in place at the bottom of the rear fertilizer
compartment. Lift the cover out, and reposi-
tion the cover with the openings to the front
or rear as desired. Insure the cover is slid
down to the bottom and reinstall the plastic
knobs to retain the covers.
