3.2.5 SEEDER POSITION
It is important to adjust the position of the planting unit correctly
on the supporting equipment when in the field.
DANGER
Positioning the seeder on the equipment is an extremely
dangerous phase. Proceed with extreme caution and carry
out the operation scrupulously adhering to the instructions
provided.
1) Before positioning the seeder, it is important to place the
equipment in the position in which it is to operate.
2) Adjust points (A) and (B) Fig. 18 of the planting unit so that the
seeding element support bar is at a height of approx 24 to 27
cm from the ground (Fig. 20), and at the same time does not
interfere with the rear roller of the equipment
ATTENTION
If the operating position of the equipment needs to be changed,
re-position the seeder by proceeding as described earlier in
point 2).
3) Connect and secure the seed delivery tubes to the furrow
opening parts with the ring provided (Fig. 19), and check their
length: during the work the formation of loops and folds, and
therefore breakages, should be avoided. If necessary adjust
their length as shown in Figure 20.
3.2.6 TRANSMISSION
Connect the drive wheel to the metering unit with the cardan
shaft provided, as shown in Figure 21.
IMPORTANT! Do not completely tighten the screw (A Fig. 21) that
holds the gearbox (B Fig. 21); oscillation is expected.
ATTENTION
During planter/equipment assembling operations when the
hydraulic lifting device of the furrower-holding toolbar is fitted,
change the coupling of the cardan shaft, following the
instructions provided in Table 3:
- Once the equipment has been set to the working position,
measure position B of Figure 18. If situation 4 of Table 3 arises,
replace the 25x25x350 mm cardan shaft with the one provided
in the hydraulic lifting device kit (25x25x260 mm).
- Check the length of the cardan shafts (Table 3) and, if
necessary, change their length.
- Connect the transmission between the drive wheel and the
metering unit.
