Troubleshooting
Problem
Likely cause
Solution
The seedling planted is too close
to the surface or too deep
Incorrect planting depth
Make the relative adjustment (see
“Adjusting the planting depth”)
The dispenser is not synchronised
with the ejector
Adjust the timing (see “Adjusting the
dispensing/ejection timing”)
The soil has not been properly
compacted on top of the seedlings
The packing wheels are not
properly adjusted
Adjust the packing wheels (see
“Adjusting the spacing between the
packing wheels and the ploughshare”)
The seedling is planted at an angle
The dispenser is not synchronised
with the ejector
Adjust the timing (see “Adjusting the
dispensing/ejection timing”)
The Plant Control device is not in
the right position
Adjust the Plant Control device (see
“Adjusting the Plant Control”)
The seedling is lying overturned
on the ground
The Plant Control device is not in
the right position
Fit the Plant Control device inside the
ploughshare
The following list contains a number of common problems that may arise during work, together with the ways to
solve them.
Proceed as outlined below.
Lift the work vehicle off the ground.
1) Loosen the wing nut (
A
).
2) Turn the lock lever (
B
).
3) Push the share forwards and turn it so it is facing
downwards.
4) Clean the ploughshare with the tool provided (
C
).
5) Once the cleaning is complete, replace the plough-
share in the working position.
6) Check that the Plant Control device (
D
) is inside the
share.
7) Tighten the wing nut (
A
).
Tyre check
Check the tyres for wear and if they feature tears or signs
of ageing, they must be replaced.
Check and if necessary restore the tyre pressure (see the
“Technical characteristics” table).
The pressure must be checked with the weight of the
work vehicle entirely on the ground and with nothing
and nobody on the work vehicle.
Cleaning the work vehicle
Clean the work vehicle with a high-pressure water jet
and, if necessary, with approved detergents.
The liquid used for washing could be hazardous for the
environment due to the presence of pollutants such as
detergents, oils, etc., therefore do not simply dump the
wastewater; dispose of it in suitable areas equipped with
separation devices for the pollutants.
Dry with compressed air and lubricate the components
shown (see “Lubrication diagram”).
