FILLING AND EMPTYING THE HOPPERS
8.2 FERTILIZER HOPPER
Planters with fertilizing equipment can have fertilizer hoppers of 210, 300, 800 or 1080 L (capa-
city of a single hopper).
In order to safely and quickly FILL the fertilizer
hoppers, the best way is using a WORM DRIVE.
A hydraulic crane can also be used to raise the
BIG BAG above the hopper in order to ll it.
Check that the whole bag volume ts into the
hopper.
To secure the BIG BAG to the crane, follow the
instructions provided by the its manufacturer.
BEFORE FILLING THE FERTILIZER HOPPER,
MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY RE-
MAINDERS OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS. IF
STHEY EXIST, THE HOPPER NEEDS TO BE EMP-
TIED AND CLEANED.
T
o EMPTY the fertilizer hoppers, open the caps placed on the hopper’s lower part (A, Fig. 8.2).
AFTER USING THE FERTILIZING EQUIPMENT, EMPTY AND CLEAN THE HOPPERS (SEE SECTION 9.6
MACHINE CLEANING).
IF THESE OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN EXPLAINED ABOVE, THE
MANUFACTURER WILL NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO PERSONS, GOODS OR TO
THE PLANTER ITSELF.
8.3 INSECTICIDE MICRO GRANULATOR’S
AND/OR HELICIDE MICRO GRANULATOR’S
HOPPERS
Planters with insecticide or helicide micro granu-
lator are equipped with a 28 L capacity hopper
for every two rows.
To FILL the micro granulators, rst check that
there is no any product remainder inside the ho-
ppers. If exist, empty and clean the hopper and,
next, proceed lling.
AFTER USING THE INSECTISIDE OR HELICIDE MI-
CROGRANULATOR EQUIPMENTS, EMPTY AND
CLEAN THE HOPPERS (SEE SECTION 9.6 MACHINE
CLEANING).
To ll the hoppers of the insecticide micro granulator or the helicide micro granulator, use a
ladder.
To EMPTY the hoppers of the insecticide or helicide micro granulator, open the caps placed on
the hopper’s lower part (B, Fig. 8.3).
