Agitator Installation, Activation, and Deactivation

CAUTION: Chemicals are often used in agricultural applications (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, rodenticides, and fertilizers). Chemical residue remains inside air cart tanks. Always follow all label directions for effective, safe, and legal use of agricultural chemicals. Reduce risk of exposure and injury. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer.

Install and activate agitators (A) above each active meter segment to keep product flowing freely.

Deactivate agitators above inactive meter segments. Remove spring locking pins to deactivate.

Do not remove meter housing to service agitators. Tank must be empty to service agitators.

Two people are required to service agitators. One person outside the tank to slide shaft from housing and one person inside the tank to position and install agitators and spring pins.
