Dry fertilizer is very corrosive and ab-
sorbs moisture. Clean out any fertilizer as
soon as possible after using the drill.
Storage – before storing the drill for ex-
tended periods, clean out any remaining
seed and fertilizer from the boxes. Remove
the fertilizer doors on the outside of the box
and fertilizer covers on the inside of the box.
Use water to wash out any remaining fertil-
izer within the boxes and in the fertilizer
meter assemblies.
