Problem Clean-Outs

For normal unloading of residual materials at completion

of planting, see “Unloading the Cart” on page 47. If,

however, parking and storage recommendations have

not been followed, it is possible to have hard-to-remove

material present.

If the material fails to pass through the clean-out door,

take the following steps to remove it. Do not consider

entering the hopper until ﬁrst completing these tasks.

Open the clean-out door.

Remove the strainer and evaluate the problem.

For example:

• If the problem is a single moveable large object, such

as a dead animal, ﬁshing out from above may be the

solution.

• If the problem is congealed materials, scoop out a

sample from above and see if the mass dissolves in

water. If so, and there is a small amount of the material

involved, rinsing, or rinsing and pumping the hopper

from above may be the solution.

For small amounts of residual materials, poking with a

long pole may sufﬁce to push it through the clean-out.

If poking doesn’t produce satisfactory results, and you

intend to try wash-out, at least poke one hole down to the

clean-out, so that water can ﬂow out.

If wash-out is contemplated, start by introducing a small

amount of water, and make sure that it appears at the

clean-out within 15 minutes. If not, you will just be adding

water to the problem. The hopper is not designed to hold

water at full capacity. Add no more, remove meter box

instead, and clean out from below.

Removing Meter Box

Removing the meter box exposes 7×7 inch access holes

through which stubborn material may be extracted.

Refer to Figure 88

1. Not shown: Loosen the gearbox-to-meter chain idler

and remove the chain. Disconnect inlet and outlet

hoses. Disconnect or remove the seed rate sensor.

2. Loosen all the nuts securing the meter box to

the hopper bottom plate . Unscrew the nuts to the

bolt ends, but do not completely remove the nuts.

3. The meter box has a bead of silicone sealant

between it and the bottom plate. Use a pry tool to

free the meter box from the bottom plate.

4. Once hanging entirely on the loose bolts, remove the

nuts and lower the meter box from the hopper.

When re-mounting the meter box, scrape off the old

silicone sealant and replace it with fresh sealant.
