Cleaning
Figure 4.10
At regular intervals and at the end of the season, check that there is no seed or packaging debris
stuck in the seed hoses or in the seed outlets on the distributor head. At the same time, check the
function of the tramlining flaps.
Figure 4.13
The turn plate made of plastic (A), which controls the doors, must be cleaned regularly.
Clean the hopper, the rape brush, the feed housing and other components at the end of the season.
Check also that no seed has fallen into the ejector tube and the connecting air hose.
Remember that any seed left within the drill can germinate and clog air and seed hoses. Seed can
also attract small rodents which can damage the drill.
Clean the glass plate at the start of every season.
Run the fan for a while to blow-dry the whole system.
