   Empty tanks and clean out caked deposits.

   • Compressed Air (Dry) Cleaning:

---




2. CAUTION: Reduce compressed air to less than 210 kPa (2 bar) (30 psi) when using for cleaning purposes. Clear area of bystanders, guard against flying debris, and wear personal protection equipment, including eye protection.

   IMPORTANT: Compressed air (dry) cleaning method is recommended to prevent gum-like deposits (left by water wash) from forming on seed cart components and/or blocking air passages.

   Thoroughly clean inside of tanks and meter boxes using compressed air. A good dry cleaning is preferable to poor washing and drying.

   • Water Wash (Wet) Cleaning:

3. CAUTION: Do not allow residue from tank washing to contaminate well or ground water.

   IMPORTANT: If compressed air is not available for cleaning, water wash method may be used, provided meter boxes and rollers are thoroughly dried after cleaning. Drying takes time since moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to drain or evaporate.

   Wash machine thoroughly, inside and out. Wipe surfaces and components dry.

4. When utilizing stationary double-shoot manifold, clean air control valves, blow out tank pressurization lines and remove and clear product from center manifold plate at end of season. (See METER CLEANOUT PROCEDURE in Service Section.)

5. CAUTION: Be careful when using diesel fuel so that it does not ignite. Use only in well ventilated areas, away from any sparks and flames, to prevent being seriously injured or killed by fire.

   Remove chains from meter drive system. Clean chains with diesel fuel, coat with John Deere Multipurpose Spray Lube TY6350 and hang in a dry place.

6. Paint all bare metal and rust spots.

7. Replace any missing or damaged parts including hoses, hardware, and decals. Tighten all hardware.

8. Lubricate entire machine.
