11.1 Residual seed quantity display
A visual and acoustic warning is given when the residual quantity in the hopper is undercut (when the
fill level sensor is correctly set).
The residual quantity should be large enough to prevent fluctuations in the seed rate.
11.2 Deviations between the set and actual seed rate
Possible causes that can lead to a deviation between the set and actual seed rate:

To record the worked area and the required seed rate, pulses from the radar or star wheel are
required over a calibration distance of 100 m.
Field surfaces change during work, e.g. when changing from dry, light soil to wet, heavy soil.
This can also alter the calibration value "Pulse/100 m".
If there are differences between the set and actual seed rate, the calibration value
"Pulses/100 m" has to be re-determined by travelling the calibration distance.

When seeding with moist dressed seeds, deviations between the set and actual seed rate may
occur if there is a period of less than 1 week (2 weeks recommended) between the dressing and
seeding.
