With Telescoping Spout: Release and rotate tank lid. Position top of auger/conveyor so that telescoping spout is between tank lid openings. Spout should enter tank at an angle. Positioning spout between tanks and at an angle allows for more even filling and less movement when switching to the next tank. Place spout handle (A) in support bracket (B).

IMPORTANT: Before filling, check inside tanks and remove any obstructions, such as rocks, twigs, sticks, or straw, from meter inlet openings.

IMPORTANT: Use of clean dry product is recommended for best metering. Do not use seeds treated with liquid inoculents.
