Planting operations
1) To prevent overloads on the ploughshare, the trac-
tor driver must lower the work vehicle with the trac-
tor moving forwards at low speed. Do not reverse
the tractor with the work vehicle on the ground as
this could damage the drilling cups and the motion
transmission to the dispenser.
2) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the work
vehicle.
In the planting stage, the operators on the work vehi-
cle must adopt a correct posture (with their feet rest-
ing on the footboard (G) and must agree - together
with the tractor driver - on the most effective speed
of travel.
3) Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
4) The operators must take the seedlings from the trays
(E) and place them in the drilling cups which, alterna-
tively, will be positioned at the top of the dispenser.
5) 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 15 and 28).

Night-time work or poor visibility conditions
Working at night or in poor visibility conditions increases the risks arising from machine use; in these conditions,
proper lighting must be provided to ensure safe work.
Changing the tilt of the cups
The cups only need to be tilted if the seedlings need to
be planted through plastic mulch and widely spaced.
Tilting the cups means the mulch sheet will rip less.
Arrange the cups in the same way for all the work units.
To change the cup tilt angle, proceed as outlined below.
1) Check that the dispenser and the cups can move
freely.
2) Unscrew the screws (A).
3) Align the unused holes (C) in the plate (B) with the
screw fastening (A) holes.
4) Tighten the screws (A).
