Pull the lever out and position it on the desired
notch using the graduated adjustment plate.
6.1.1 .2 Adjusting the angle
IMPORTANT:
An overly aggressive setting will create unnecessary mechanical stress on the seeding unit (accelerated wear of the
system) and will lead to excessive soil displacement, which may even be detrimental to the quality of the seeding
(hollowing of the seeding line).
6.1.2 Quick adjustment system for the side wheel (optional)
6.1.2.1 Adjusting the depth
Pull the adjustment lever and position it on the desired notch (photo).
Note that the quick adjustment systems can be used at the same time for more precise depth
control. For common use, make sure to set the side wheel slightly deeper.
6.2 Hydraulic pressure setting
The depth control pressure applied to each unit is essential to obtain a satisfactory seed quality, i.e.:
- seeding at the desired and constant depth;
- a good quality closing of the furrow.
Each seeding unit is equipped with a
hydraulic cylinder to adjust the depth control pressure. After setting the working
depth, adjust the hydraulic pressure of the unit.
Note
: the use of high pressure may alter the seeding depth; adjust the depth if
necessary.
The pressure indication is given by the pressure gauge between the distribution
heads (photo).
6 Settings
6.1 Setting the seeding depth and the angle of the press wheel
Before adjusting the depth, check the horizontal alignment of the machine. Make sure that the components are raised and
do not touch the floor.
6.1.1 Quick rear adjustment system without tools
6.1.1.1 Adjusting the depth
Pull the adjustment lever out to the level of the press wheel and
position it on the desired notch.
Adjusting the angle improves the closure of the furrow.
