4) Decide whether the gap between the packing
wheels is large enough to ensure the correct pres-

Planting operations
1) To prevent overloads, the operator on the tractor
must lower the work vehicle with the tractor mov-
ing forwards at low speed.
Do not reverse the tractor with the work vehicle on
the ground as this could damage the ploughshare.
2) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the
work vehicle.
In the planting stage, the operators on the work ve-
hicle must adopt a correct posture (with their feet
resting on the footboard (
G
) and must agree - to-
gether with the tractor driver - on the most effective
speed of travel.
3) Load the seedlings into the dispenser and keep it
loaded during the planting stage.
Do not load the seedlings into the front cups as they
are continually opening and closing.
4) The operators on the work vehicle must decide on
the tractor’s speed of travel together with the tractor
driver so that a least 30 seedlings can be placed in
the dispenser per minute and correct ejector/seed-
ling timing is obtained.
5) Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
6) The operators on the work vehicle must check the
planting quality constantly. In the event of anoma-
lies, stop the tractor moving forwards and adopt cor-
rective measures (see “Information on adjustments”
and “Troubleshooting”- pages 14 and 30).
