Dry Fertilizer Combination Box - Landoll 5531 Operator's Manual

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Dry Fertilizer Combination Box

1. If the Grain Drill is equipped with the dry 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 entirely 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 Figure 4-12.)
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 fertilizer
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 4-13.)
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 reposition 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.
