3.4. Filling and Emptying the Seed Hopper and Dispenser.
The seed hoppers should be filled with seeds by means of mechanical or pneumatic loading devices that are not
the equipment of the FENIX seed drill. Loading devices can be purchased in the depots of agricultural machinery.
Warning! It is forbidden to stay on any machine elements other than the platform. Carry
out loading and unloading activities only when the machine is parked with the tractor
engine turned off. It is forbidden to dig the seeds with your hand and stay on the platform
during work.
After filling the box with the seeds, level the seeds with the spatula – only at the machine standstill. This is
especially important when the seed level sensor is installed.
Always empty the seed hopper and dispenser in the following way (see Fig. 14 below):
Fig. 14 1 - cover screw; 2- lever of partial pouring off; 3-chute; 4-flap
Partial "pouring off" of the seeds is done by the chute [3], which is opened by turning the lock [2]. When
using the chute [3] some seed will remain in the lower part of the dispenser.
The coarse chute [5] is used to empty the hopper when a large amount of seed is left in the hopper.
In this way, you can only empty the tank up to the level of the chute [5]. The rest of the seeds should be
removed by unscrewing the screw [1] and opening the flap [4].
The seeds should be poured into a container or on a properly laid sheet.
It is not possible to empty only the dispenser or only the seed hopper.
CAUTION!
In the final stage of emptying the dispenser, remove the seeds from the grooves of the metering roller and the
lower part of the dispenser, using a suitable brush. This operation should be performed at a standstill, with the
tractor turned off and the power supply to the controller switched off.
