4.0 REGULATIONS<br />
4.1 DISTRIBUTOR (Fig. 23)<br />
The volumetric distributing device, GRINTA, is essentially<br />
composed of four elements for seeds distribution:<br />
A) aluminium monobloc frame;<br />
B) agitator element;<br />
C) dosing rollers;<br />
D) Feeler pin.<br />
4.1.1 MONOBLOC FRAME<br />
The monobloc frame is made of aluminium and offers the<br />
following main advantages:<br />
- realization of very high precision and high quality over time;<br />
- resistance to the effects of UV rays or to the problems of harsh<br />
autside temperatures;<br />
- high resistance to corrosion;<br />
- quick simple maintenance: in a few minutes we can completely<br />
remove the components of the doser without fully unscrewing<br />
the screws, using just one spanner.<br />
4.1.2 AGITATOR ELEMENT<br />
- Guarantee of continuous feeding to the dosing rollers.<br />
The agitator has a diameter of 85 mm and consists of 4 elements<br />
(curved pins). If the agitator is running too fast, its mixing effect<br />
can be halved, by removing the two center pins. The power of the<br />
agitator is reduced by means of the drive torque transmitted by<br />
the external round belt, in order to safeguard against damage to<br />
the seeds that could compromise their capacity to sprout in the<br />
soil. The agitator pulls the seed downwards in the dosing roller.<br />
Under normal circumstances, the agitator ALWAYS stays still. It<br />
only comes into operation when there are product gaps<br />
between the agitator and the roller. Since the <strong>GASPARDO</strong> dosing<br />
rollers ALWAYS transport the seeds along the entire length, in<br />
contrast with sliding gear or fixed wheel systems, there is virtually<br />
no risk of seeding gaps occurring, even in the case of perennial<br />
rye grass, fescue and grass. (It is always advisable to use the<br />
correct wheels for the seeds to be planted). The agitator can be<br />
disabled by simply removing the drive belt.<br />
- To remove the curved pin, simply pull it towards yourself to<br />
detach it from the agitator axle (Fig. 24).<br />
- To disable the agitator, lift the round belt above the edge of the<br />
drive pulley and, on the opposite side, rotate the dosing roller in<br />
the driving direction. The belt will come off (Fig. 25).<br />
(To fit the belt, see chapter on dosing roller)<br />
- Simply leave the belt on the drive shaft (Fig. 26).<br />
