3. Close handle for operations or short-term parking.
For long-term storage, do not engage hook or latch
handle, to avoid deforming the seal.
4. For storage, particularly unlatched, a padlock
through both U-bolts deters unauthorized entry by
persons unaware of possible confined space risks,
and prevents entry of pests, debris and precipitation.
Strainer
Each hopper is equipped with a strainer intended to:
• capture large foreign matter in seed and materials,
• prevent entry by animals if lid left open, and;
• discourage hopper entry by children.
Leave the strainer in place except during strainer and
hopper cleaning.
Check the strainer for residue prior to each loading oper-
ation. Remove, empty and return it to the hopper.
For strainer or hopper cleaning, the strainer lifts out when
the lid is fully open.
