Distributor
A distributor tower is attached to the seed hopper
for seed distribution.
NOTE
All distributor components must be leak tight.
Even slightest leaks and air losses will cause
uneven distribution.

Valves for
tram line control
The distributor is equipped with valves for the
tram line control.
The arrangement depends on the working width,
the tram line rhythm, the track width of the spray-
ing and spreading machine and the number of
valves per track.
The valve function can be checked by examin-
ing the air flow on the seed coulters or the seed
placement on the surface.
The valves have a small identification mark on
the underside of the shaft, which shows the
position of the valves.
This enables checking the rotary motion of the
valve and its end position.
Calibration
CAUTION
Risk of crushing on the metering unit
¾
Do not reach into the rotating metering unit.
NOTE
¾
Calibrate the machine only when lowered and
parked securely.
¾
Do not use sticky dressings with seed. They
influence metering accuracy.
¾
Check seed and hopper for foreign objects!
¾
Depending on the seed install the rape brush-
es or, for coarse seeds, the adapter frame,
the deflector plate and the wide sealing lip.
For grain and fertiliser disassemble the ac-
cessory parts. Check all side covers on the
metering unit.
¾
Install the appropriate roller for the seed quan
-
tity and check for true running.
¾
Check condition and correct setting of sealing
lip.
¾
Fill the hopper with seed. Only fill in small
amounts of fine seeds.
