7.2 Replacing the sowing shaft
Replace the sowing wheel as follows:
NOTE: Make sure when replacing the sowing wheel that the container is
completely empty. Make sure the machine runs smoothly after installing the
sowing wheel.
•
Refer to the sowing table and select the desired sowing wheel with the
respective sowing amount.
•
completely empty the container.
•
Remove the side cover for the drive rollers.
•
Remove the round belts from the drive rollers.
•
Remove the nuts from the sowing wheel's side cover plate.
•
Now remove the complete sowing wheel together with the side cover plate.
•
The new sowing wheel can now be installed in the device.
7.3 Flap (sweeper adjustment)
A sweeper is mounted above the sowing wheel. This
sweeper can be adjusted by a lever on the frame on a
scale of +4 to -5.
If the sweeper is pressed closer to the sowing wheel by
the lever (scale values -1 to -5) the sowing volume
decreases slightly. If the sweeper is raised (scale values
+1 to +4) you can sow slightly more seed.
The basic setting of the ground flap is 0. This setting is used for the seed rate
calibration tests in the sowing tables.
As a rule, the sweeper sets the device to the seed to be spread. With the use of fine
seeds which must flow freely, the sweeper must usually be retracted, that is set to
minus, and for larger seeds, it must be extended, that is set to plus on the scale!
