The wheel must be turned regularly, approximately one turn per second. The number of turns is
approximate and can vary depending on the terrain.
The machine must be hitched to the tractor and slightly lifted while carrying out this operation. You are
also advised to half-fill the seed hopper to make it easier to turn the wheel by hand.
If there is a lot of dust from the seed preparation, this can reduce the flow rate. A second test must
therefore be carried out.
