Storing Dry Fertilizer
Keep fertilizer dry. Do not store in a damp place.
Most fertilizers readily accumulate moisture and cause metal to corrode. This corrosion not only shortens metal life, but leads to unnecessary expense for parts broken because of binding or seizing. Deposits of fertilizer will build up in the hopper and interfere with working parts. Therefore, the hoppers should be cleaned every day of use (see CLEANING DRY FERTILIZER HOPPERS in Service-Every 10 Hours or Daily section).
