7.1. TURNING THE SOWING ON AND OFF
Turning the sowing on and off is controlled by two sensors. The system is designed so that the sowing turns on
at the beginning of recessing. Before the seeds go through the whole system of the pneumatic distribution, the
machine has already recessed and the delay in the launch of sowing at the beginning of the patch is thus
minimized. The sowing is turned off at the beginning of digging out.
TURNING ON THE SOWING
Turning on is controlled by an aerial sensor. The aerial sensor is set to turn on at the beginning of recessing. The
sensitivity of the switching depends on the position of the sensor set between the axle frame and the main frame
of the machine. It can be adjusted by loosening the screws (see the picture 10) and changing the position of the
sensor towards the holder. Furthermore, the sensor turns on the control of the machine functions.
TURNING OFF THE SOWING
Turning the sowing off (the electric motors of the seed feeders) is controlled by a pressure sensor located in the
hydraulic circuit of the axle lifting. The sensitivity of this sensor is set to the pressure of 10 MPa. When the
machine is digging out, the oil pressure is led to the hydraulic distributor and when the set value is reached, the
switch turns on and the motors of the seed feeders turn off.
Therefore, move the lever for the hydraulic control to the FLOATING POSITION after the machine has been
recessed!!!
The sensitivity of the pressure and aerial sensors is standardly set by the producer. Only a professional service
may change the sett.

Radar
The radar provides a very exact measurement of the travel sped which is important for exact batch of seeds. Do
not stay or move in the working area of the radar.
