Compatibility Check
Open one lid and inspect the hopper. This kit requires
that the hopper be equipped with a stiffener . This part
is standard on new planters, and is available as an
Update for older modelsa. If your planter lacks stiffeners,
have your dealer consult Service Information Bulletin

Possible Chemical Hazard:
Wear a dust mask and other personal protective equipment
suitable for working with seed treatments and seed lubricants
used with the hoppers. Wash the lids if a suitable location is
available. The lids are likely to be coated with chemical or
lubricant dust, which will become airborne during hole
drilling. This dust could cause medical problems ranging from
throat and lung irritation to severe illness or death.
