5.1 SUGGESTIONS IN CASE OF INCONVENIENCES
5.1.1 Clogging of the pipes
- Check, on the basis of the rotation test chart, the position of the
butterfly valves.
- The blades are clogged with wet soil
- The distribution pipes are bent somewhere.
- Foreign bodies in the distributor or blade.
- Respect the rpm, 540 or 1000, of the power take-off.
- The blower pump rpm has been reduced because of worn V-
belts
5.1.2 The amount of seed in kg/Ha does not correspond to the
values of the rotation test
The causes involved in the excessive amount of seeds dispersed
may be:
- the sealing rims are defective and no longer adhere, because
of wear or mice eating them away.
- during the rotation test the drive transmission wheel was turned
too fast.
The causes involved in an insufficient amount of seed dispersed
may be:
- dosing unit access clogged by foreign bodies.
- during the rotation test the empty weight of the collecting
container was not taken into account and deducted.
- Insufficient movement of the hoist arms: the planting unit is not
free to follow the path of the soil, causing the transmission
wheel to slip (chapter 3.1.1 reference 3).
- When working at very slow speeds (less than 3 km/h), seed
planting may be irregular. In this case, please consult the
Manufacturer.
The differences due to slipping or excessive distribution at the
beginning of the field, are around 2-4%. Greater deviations can
be traced back exclusively to errors in the rotation test, to a wrong
transmission ratio or similar causes.
Finally, we remind you that the manufacturer is always available
for any and all necessary assistance and spares.
