Filling the Drill

tractor, see Recommended Tractor Size on page 13.
2. Be sure that the bin unloading door (#1) on the bottom
of the meter is securely closed and latched, refer to
Figure 2-4.
3. Prior to filling the drill for the first time, and at least
once per season thereafter, check the drill bins for air
leaks as described in the Field Operations portion of
this section starting on page 16.
4. Place drill on solid, level ground prior to attempting to fill.
5. Shut off all hydraulic power to the drill.
6. Move the handle on the auger flow diverter valve to
the front most position, refer to Figure 2-5. Be sure
that the control valve on the auger body is in the off or
center position.This valve diverts flow from the fold cir-
cuit to the auger motor circuit.
7. Climb the ladder to the top of the drill walk board, lift
the lid latch handle and move the latch hook off of the
u-bolt catch. Lift the lid by its handle and open fully.
Lower the lid onto the pivot stop by hand, do not drop.

ing auger continue to steps 10 through 20 below.

plug.

place the clip in the rear hole, refer to Figure 2-6.
11. Pivot the auger hopper until opening is facing up. The
hopper may be swiveled around on the tube to facilitate

the bracket down and replace the pin in the holes to
store until done, refer to Figure 2-7.

fully check all lines to make sure none will be dam-
aged when the implement is operated. Re-route the
lines or use cable ties to keep them in a safe place.

mately 5500 lbs. on level ground, more when facing
