5.5 CHECKING FERTILIZER RUNS


Perform the following test to ensure that each fertilizer run is functioning properly:

1. Ensure that tank is at least partially filled with either water or liquid fertilizer.

2. Lower metering wheel and proceed forward about 20 - 30 ft (6 - 9 m).

3. Stop tractor and look at ground behind each opener to ensure liquid fertilizer

is discharged behind each run.
