Flow test with microdosage.
With microdosage, it is possible to sow small seeds and very small quantities per hectare.
The advantage with microdosing compared to a normal rotating speed for small seeds
resides in the fact that the opening of the cells is twice as large for the same flow. This
results is better self-cleaning of the cells.
Pull the red sprocket towards the exterior until it snaps in. The microdosage is connected.
The value of the setting must be read from the table for small seeds.
A cell cleaning brush, for sowing small seeds, is fixed to the inside of the case of the
dispenser. This prevents the grooves from becoming clogged when treated seed is used,
for example. It is located under the steel sheet that covers the injector behind the
sprockets. Check that it is in good condition before beginning to sow.
For common seed, remove the brush
