Wear and position of the
coulter.
The quantity of seeds di-
stributed is not the same
as that obtained with the
sowing test carried out
beforehand.
The control unit not to
work.
1) Regularly check the state of wear of the
coulter. If it is worn, adjust its position to
maintain a constant planting depth. Replace it
if necessary.
Whenever the coulter is replaced, we
recommend replacing the cutter disc too.
The end of the coulter should be adjusted so
that it is no more than 0 to 2 mm (max.) deeper
than the notches marked on the edge of the
disc between one tooth and the next (E, Fig. 6).
Take care to tighten the screws in a balanced
way, so that the cutting edge of the coulter
stays in perfect contact with the surface of the
disc without impeding its rotation.
1) During the sowing test, the turns of the handle
were made too quickly.
2) Check that when the seeds were weighed,
after the sowing test, the tare of the collecting
container was taken off.
3) When loading the seeds into the hopper, check
that there are no foreign bodies inside it and
the doser that could obstruct the regular
fl ow
of the seeds.
The differences due to slipping or to excessive
dispersion of seeds on the headlands, are in the
order of 2 - 4%. Greater differences will be due
exclusively to errors in the rotation test, to the
wrong gear ratio or to similar causes.
1) Check the electrical connections.
2) Check the polarity in the connection on the
battery. Check the fuse.
3) Check the fuse (Fig. 7).
