Adjusting the vertical setting

horizontal with regards to the ground.
This setting can be checked with the seed drill level
gauge (1).

wheels
The scrapers remove soil build-up on the rubber tread
of the side gauge wheels.
- Loosen bolts (1).
- Adjusting scrapers (2):
Lateral adjustment
Adjust scraper to obtain play (X) of approximately 3 mm
(0.12 ’’) between scraper (2) and the inside rubber tread
of gauge wheel (3).
Lengthways adjustment
Adjust scraper (2) as close as possible to the gauge
wheel, without touching it. Rotate gauge wheel once to
check that it is not in contact.

Check setting over the first few metres sown.
In certain wet conditions with plant debris, it may
be necessary to remove the scrapers to continue
working without risking stopping the gauge
