Native Grass Box Clean-Out
If a suitable vacuum is available, open the Native Grass
box lid, and vacuum out remaining seed.
If too much seed remains for the vacuum, or no vacuum
is available:
1.
Raise and lock up the drill. Place a tarp under the
Native Grass seed tubes.
2.
Set the Native Grass (right gearbox) Drive Type to 4.
Optionally install the smallest final Driven sprocket.
3.
Install the calibration crank, and turn the drive
system until no seed flows from Native Grass tubes.
4.
Vacuum out any residual material from above.
Machine Damage Risk:
Water wash-out is not recommended for the Native Grass box,
particularly if seed lubricants have been used. Water may
cause build-up of solidified residue. Filler material used in
native grass mixes can also present problems.
Small Seeds Box Clean-Out
1.
Open lid of each box and scoop out as much seed as
possible.
2.
To recover remaining seed, place a collection tarp
under the small seeds tubes at the openers.
3.
Raise drill.
4.
Set seed rate handle to 100.
5.
Rotate calibration crank or ground drive wheel until
no seed flows.
6.
If a vacuum cleaner is available, remove any residual
seed from top of meters.
