Canola Brushes
The canola brushes clean the fluted discs in the roller for seeding small seeds. Prior to seeding small
seeds, the rape brushes must be installed in the side cover and tested for correct operation. (See picture
below.)
1. Check for true running and correct attachment.
2. Check condition and cleaning efficiency of the brushes.
3. Install the side cover on the metering unit in such a way that the brushes are on the inside.
4. The brushes must sit closely on the fluted discs and rotate with the roller.
IMPORTANT! Carry out regular checks on the operation and cleaning effect of the rape brushes
before and during seeding. Clogged fluted discs lead to metering errors when seeding. Fewer
seeds are distributed.
The rear cover with the canola brushes can also be removed when the seed tank is full. Clogged fluted
discs can also be cleaned in the installed state.
The Canola brushes should be removed when seeding normal sized seeds. The screws must be
reinserted in the drilled holes of the housing.
Calibrating the Seed Quantity
Calibration is to be carried out with the machine lowered and firmly positioned.
IMPORTANT! Do not use any sticky seed dressings. These influence the metering accuracy.
Check the seeds and tank for foreign materials/particles.
1. Close the emptying outlet and side cover.
2. Place the seeds in the tank.
3. Remove the hinged flap on the venturi and place a container underneath it.
4. Calibrate the seed (see Drill Manager).
5. Replace the hinged flap on the venturi. Check for tightness.
6. The canola brushes should be removed when sowing normal-sized seeds. The screws must be
reinserted in the drilled holes in the housing.
