CONTACT DRIVE WHEEL
7. Set the contact drive so that it just touches the main wheel when the point of the shears just
touches the ground.
SEED DEPOSITORS
8. Set the seed depositor depth to the 2nd groove.
NB: The final adjustment is done after the ideal working depth and speed is determined. (Refer
to page 25)
2.2 CALIBRATION
SEED AND FERTILIZERS
1. The calibration pendulum r / -77 times for every 50 linear meters.
2. Use the directive in the manual for calibration weight calculations.
3. Remove the connecting link pin on the drive shaft.
4. Catch the product simultaneously in both tanks under the air hopper.
(Refer to page 20)
SPRAY SYSTEM
5. The spray nozzles d / - 100 liters of water per hectare at 180 KPa at 6 km / h.
6. Set the pressure while the planter is at 6 km / h at 180 KPa.
7. For a more accurate setting, capture the water dispersed by one nozzle over a
given distance or time.
NB: The nozzles are spaced at 500 mm, the same as a normal sprayer.
(Refer to page: 23).
2.3 IN THE FIELD
UNFOLDING/FOLDING THE PLANTER
STANDARD V FRAME
:
UNFOLDING:
1. Insert the “wings fold’’ and ‘’wings unfold’’ hydraulic hoses into the tractor.
2. Apply flow the “wings unfold” hydraulic hose to lower the wings from the vertical to the horizontal
position. Keep extending the wing fold cylinders until they reach end of stroke which means the
pin will be sitting in the middle of the slot. NB: this is very important as it allows the wings of the
planter to float.
FOLDING:
1. Insert the “wings fold’’ and ‘’wings unfold’’ hydraulic hoses into the tractor.
2. Apply flow to the “wings fold” hydraulic hoses to raise the wings to the vertical position. Keep on
retracting the cylinders until the wings reach the transport location. NB: ensure the transport
locks are in place before transport.
