Maintenance
Simplicity Australia Page 4.3 Version 1.0
To maintain the
appearance of the
powder coat finish
used in production
it will be necessary
to wash the exterior
of the Air Seeder
with water and a
soft cloth.
After Sowing Maintenance
Simplicity Australia does not recommend washing any part
of the Air Seeder with high pressure water as component life
can be shortened due to water ingress. The use of water
while carrying out After Sowing Maintenance should be
limited to washing the exterior of the Air Seeder with
regards to the note below.
Thoroughly clean the inside of all bins and metering
units with air (either pressure or vacuum) to remove
any seed or fertiliser accumulated
Spray a suitable rust preventative on the inside of
the bin particularly in the corners and anywhere that
seed or fertiliser has worn the powder coat and bare
metal is exposed
 Leave the bin lids closed but not latched during the
storage period. This will prolong the life of the bin lid
seal
 Close the bottom swing away door
 Disconnect the primary lines at the breakaways and
fit the cam lock plugs. This will prevent rodents from
entering the Air Seeder during the storage period.
The use of authorized rodent repellent products will
also assist in keeping rodents away from the Air
Seeder
 Disconnect, grease, rotate and grease again all
swiveling hitch components prior to storage
 Check all hose for damage and wear
 Although UV and weather resistant hoses are
standard, for prolonged hose life, the Air Seeder
should be stored in a shed. This will save downtime
during the next sowing season
 Contact your Simplicity Australia Dealer and place an
order for any service parts or wear and tear item
such as hose, etc.
Do not use high
water pressure,
abrasive
materials or
harsh cleaning
products as
irreversible
scratching could
occur
IMPORTANT
WARNING: Confined Space. Do NOT enter any bin unless
tractor is switched off and keys removed. Always have
another person present while working in the bin.
