Cleaning the fan rotor

Interval

  • At the end of the season

The air drawn by the fan can contain fertiliser dust or sand. These impurities can accumulate on the fan rotors and cause imbalance of the fan. This can destroy the fan.

REQUIREMENTS

  • The implement is coupled to the tractor

  • The singling unit housings are open

  • The calibration flap on the fertiliser metering unit is open

  • The singling discs are removed

  2. To wash the deposits from the fan rotor:

    Direct a jet of water into the suction opening 1.
  3. Run the fan for about 5 minutes.

The air supply is blown dry.
