- Adjust the flow rate with the device powered by the
tractor PTO (540 rpm), going from:
notch No. 1 (c1) = closed position, to notch No. 8
(c8) = maximum opening.
Select the opening notch position from the flow rate
chart (see page 18).
CAUTION:
To avoid overheating and to prevent the
sulphur from solidifying we advise you:
1 - Not to use the VEGA with notch No. 1 (c1).
2 - To count 4 rows treated at a time. This
performance corresponds to the device’s
power.
3 - To drive at a normal working speed (between
4 and 6 km/h).
4 - Not to allow the VEGA run with the lever (1) in
the closed position.
With certain mixtures or sulphurs and when
the headland makes it necessary to manœuvre,
disengage the PTO at the end of the rows.
- The product output direction lever is located on the
right side of the machine, on the product feed venturi
nozzle (black knob).
a - central position:
even flow through both product outlet vanes.
b - right position:
flow through right vane only.
c - left position:
flow through left vane only.
