4.13 THE END OF OPERATION
At the end of the work processes, stop all the mechanical moving
parts in safe conditions. Let the machine sit on the ground, stop the
engine, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake.
EMPTYING THE HOPPER
The emptying hatch opens the doser the entire width of the dosing
roller so that the machine can be emptied quickly and effectively.
If the retaining spring is not released, by lifting the hatch slightly, it
is possible to remove a little of the hopper’s contents quickly and
safely (Fig. 51).
If the retaining spring is released it is possible to pull the hatch
upwards until you hear a “click” and then totally empty the machine
(Fig. 52). Do not forget to close the hatch and secure it with the
retaining spring before
fi lling the machine a second time!
The hatch opening is wide enough to enable the force of action of
the agitator (Fig. 52) to be easily varied in the case of particularly
problematic seeds (using the machine as a seed distributing front
hopper) (see chapter on agitator).
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR ROAD TRANSPORT
At the end of the work processes, prepare the machine for transport
on public roads.
Store all the mobile parts: side frames (1, Fig. 53) row marker arm,
etc.; within the machine width and secure them using the safety
devices supplied.
After preparing the equipment for road transport, close the
hydraulic system of the carriage by turning the handle as
shown in detail A, Fig. 54.
IMPORTANT!
Adhere to the regulations in force on road transport in the
user’s country.
