18.0 - PHASING THE EXPELLER
When the plant descending from the drop tube reaches the ploughshare (fig. 9.C.),
the expeller (fig. 9.B) must be in the retracted position, and must only then begin its
outward pushing stroke. If, for any reason, high or low speed transplanting is
permitted, the correct expulsion phasing can be maintained by adjusting the rapid
phasing device (fig. 10).
-Release the two screws (fig. 10.A)
-Turn the distributor (fig. 10.B):
-clockwise to ADVANCE
-anti-clockwise to DELAY
-Tighten the screws (fig. 10.A) on completion of adjustment.
The appropriate reference notches (fig. 10.C) make it possible to achieve correct
adjustment in each transplant unit.
19.0 - TRANSPLANT UNIT IN WORK PHASE
19.1 - Use the drive wheel adjustment device (fig. 11) to set the transplant units to
a horizontal position in relation to the ground (fig. 11.A).
19.2 - Check that an oscillation space of approximately 2 cm remains between
the beam stop and the linkage (fig. 12).
This is essential to allow the transplant unit to adapt itself to any unevenness in the
ground.
20.0 - TRANSPLANT DEPTH
Turn the adjustment device (fig. 13)
-clockwise to INCREASE DEPTH
-anti-clockwise to REDUCE DEPTH
