   Place meter cartridge in operating position with inlet openings (B) up.

3. Rotate sensor ring (A) and meter rollers to remove product from enclosures.

4. Turn cartridge over and rotate sensor ring to remove remaining product.

5. IMPORTANT: Do not allow product residue (chaff and dust) to accumulate on meter roller flutes. Residue build-up reduces meter roller capacity and adversely effects metering rate.
