Long-Term Storage

Complete Parking steps first.
1. Park the planter indoors if possible, per the steps

above. Great Plains recommends parking/storing in

the raised configuration, folded, on the parking

stands and with all lift cylinder locks installed.

2. If no hopper or seed box is mounted, cap air box.
3. If empty seed box or hopper is mounted, close the

seed gates and the lids.

4. If partially-loaded seed box is mounted, close seed

gate, and remove seed box. If partially loaded

hopper is present, unload seed via clean-out doors

on air box. Store Planter only without seed.

5. Open airbox clean-out door. Clean out residual seed.
6. Close airbox clean-out doors. Using Planter fan,

blow seed to meters, cleaning out the lines.

7. Remove seed disks from meters (this is primarily to

relieve pressure on brushes). Clean disks of residue

build-up (see Caution at right). Use mild soap,

non-abrasive scrubbers, and hot or warm water. If

using sealed storage, dry disks prior to storage.

8. Close seed inlet shutters at meters (to prevent pest

entry to seed hoses). Thoroughly clean seed and

seed treatment residue from seed meters. See

Meter Clean-Out

” on page 99, for more

information.

9. Close all clean-out doors and ports. Shut off all

Y-tubes.

10. Apply grease to exposed cylinder rods to prevent

rust.

11. Option: Flush fertilizer lines (if present). Flush

system with RV anti-freeze if there is any chance of

freezing prior to next implement use.

12. Option: Empty and clean fertilizer strainers.
13. Option: Drain any air tanks with drain valves.
14. Lubricate all points listed in Maintenance to prevent

rust.

15. Clean Planter of mud, dirt, excess oil and grease.
16. Inspect planter for worn or damaged parts. Make

repairs and service during off season.

17. Use spray paint to cover scratches, chips, and worn

areas on the Planter to protect the metal.

18. Cover planter with a tarp if stored outside.

Storage: Fertilizer Option

The pump, strainer and manifold system require special

attention prior to storage. See “

Fertilizer System

Maintenance

” on page 116.

Planter Ready for Parking

Possible Chemical Hazard:

Seed disks will have talc and graphite residue, and may have

residues of hazardous seed treatments. Do not wash disks

where food is prepared, or where cookware or dinnerware is
washed. Wear gloves when washing disks. Avoid spray.

Although the disks are dishwasher-safe, do not wash them in

an appliance also used for food cookware or dinnerware.

Removing the seed boxes/hoppers increases the life of the air 

box seals, which are otherwise apt to be permanently 

compressed if stored under load off-season.

Do not store optional bulk hopper outside on the ground. 

Raise it on blocks, securing it in place to prevent from falling 

over or blowing around by wind. Store inside if possible.
