IMPORTANT: To avoid deterioration, do not allow diesel fuel (or any other petroleum product) to come in contact with rubber tubes.

5. Clean remaining fertilizer through clean-out holes (A) in bottom of box. If drill is to be stored for longer than 24 hours, coat metal parts and inside of box with diesel fuel or other light petroleum product.

NOTE: When installing baffles, right-hand baffle should be installed first.

Install baffles over feed wheels so outer ends of the baffles are flush with the end panels of fertilizer box.

6. Install feed shafts, clamps and baffles. The baffle "ears" locate the feed wheels, and if bent may cause erratic delivery of product.

IMPORTANT: The outer end of either bottom cover MUST NOT contact the end panel hardware of the box or leakage will result.

7. Replace bottom covers.
