Aligning the seed bar
The seed bar must be adjusted to the soil condi-
tions to allow adequate space for movement.
The parallelograms must be positioned hori-
zontally or with a downward tendency on level
ground when the seed bar is lowered:
To adjust, spacers or aluminium clips may be in-
serted or removed at the lift cylinders or hydraulic
cylinders of the support wheels. The more ele-
ments are placed, the higher the position of the
seed bar or the greater the space for movement
for the single-disc coulter.
