Blower pump control:
Seed drills are delivered with pressure based on the machine width,
as according to Table 4.
If you wish to increase the number of revolutions of the fan for
distributing heavier seeds, carefully proceed as follows (Fig. 40):
Normal Seeds Smaal Seeds
Advised
pressure 100/120 60
(bar)
NOTES:
- When distributing
fi ne seeds, reduce the values in table 4
by 30%.
- In the fi rst few metres of work, check that the seeds are
correctly deposited in the furrow. If the seed is distributed
outside of the furrow, reduce the fan rpm.
a) loosen the handwheel (A, Fig. 40);
b) rotate the handwheel (B, Fig. 40) clockwise or anticlockwise to
reduce or increase pressure and adjust the number of revolu-
tions of the blower accordingly.
c) When the adjustment has been completed, tighten the lock nut
again.
WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to touch act on the dowel (C, Fig. 40) for
any reason, as this would unset the system and could lead to
the motor, the pump or the fan.
Remember furthermore that at the successive start-up of the sy-
stem, with cold oil and the position of the regulator untouched, there
will be an initial increase in the blower speed which, once the right
working temperature has been reached, will return to that set.
Oil cooling
When using a dependent system it is important to check the ca-
pacity of the tractor’s oil tank and whether the cooling system is
suf
fi cient. If necessary have an oil cooler or a larger tank installed
on the tractor by the dealer: the ratio between the volume of oil
in the system and the capacity of the tank should be appro-
ximately 1:2
.
ATTENTION
- Always keep oils and grease out of reach of children.
- Always read warnings and precautions indicated on the
containers carefully.
- Avoid skin-contact.
- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- Treat the used oils and polluting liquids in conformity with
the laws in force.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility due to negligence
and non-observance of these rules.
