HOPPER
In order to safely and quickly fill the hoppers, the best way
is using a worm drive. A hydraulic crane can also be used to
raise the BIG BAG above the hopper in order to fill it. Check
that the whole bag volume fits into the hopper. To secure
the BIG BAG to the crane, follow the instructions provided by
the its manufacturer.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE FILLING THE HOPPER,
MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY SEED
RESIDUES OR OBJECTS. IF STHEY EXIST, THE
HOPPER NEEDS TO BE EMPTIED AND CLEANED.
BEFORE FILLING THE HOPPER, MAKE SURE THE
EMPTYING TRAPDOORS ARE CLOSED.
