3. AIR HOPPER
3.1 GOLDEN RULES
1. The lids should always be sealed while the machine is in operation.
2. When filling the bins always use the provided sieve.
3. Take care with fertilizer left over in the bins. Turn the measuring unit before operations begin.
This will prevent the fertilizer from damaging the Zero Max gearbox at the metering unit.
4. Take care with transportation over long distances as the fertilizers tend to become
compact in the metering unit which may damage the Zero Max gearbox.
Equalizer air hoppers work on the so-called closed tank system. It simply means that when the tank
lids are tightly sealed the principle will apply that all air entering the system has only one way out,
which is in the direction where the seed or fertilizer should be fed.
NB:
The main requirement of the system is that the metering unit is 100% sealed to ensure
accurate distribution of both the seed and the fertilizer.

3.2.1 TRACTOR HYDRAULIC DRIVE
Only tractors with "closed center" hydraulic systems are suitable for this setup: Flow
Control on the remote ports of the tractor is essential.
In cases where the fan motor is driven by the tractor's hydraulic system the fan speed must be
regulated using the specific regulating valve on the tractor.
Follow the procedure for the set up of the fan speed through the tractor's flow control:
Safety Valve
(20 Bar)
½ Inch Pressure Line
(from the tractors quick
coupler)
1 Inch Return Line
(directly to the tractors
oil reservoir)
