3.0.13 DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
Fertilizers and insecticides are distrib-uted by means of special
dosers (1 Fig. 33-34) fitted under the corre-sponding hoppers.
These dosers can be adjusted by turning the knob (2 Fig. 33-
34). Depending on how the dosers are regulated - please refer
to the tables below - you can determine the quantity of fertilizer
and insecticide needed to cover a hectare of land.
The plastic distributors do not require lubrication. On completion
of the work, the hopper should be carefully cleaned. This parti-
cularly applies to the fertilizer hoppers. Unscrew the discharge
pipe (Fig. 35) caps remove any residual product (Fig. 36) and
wash thoroughly with water.
Adhere to the ecological standards applicable for the
disposal of polluting liquids
REGULATING THE FERTILIZER INTERRING HOE
The fertilizer interring hoes operate parallel to the row being
sown, at a standard distance.
Before utilizing the seeder, ensure that this distance is
suitable for the type of fertilizer to be distributed and
the quantity to be distributed per hectare, so as to ensure
that the crops will not be damaged.
Should the distance not be suitable, distance the hoes further
from the row being sown.
Also regulate the depth at which the fertilizer is interred, by
changing the height of the spring (Fig. 37). After completing
this operation, cut any extra off the length of the tube so as to
prevent the creation of folds which could obstruct the flow of
the fertiliz-er (Fig. 38).
