Checks
During a check, all settings at the seeding heart are checked. The
grain distance and the depth adjustment of the sowing units will be
checked later on the field.

Prerequisites:
•
The seed disc is adapted to the seed
•
Adjustments have been made on the gearbox in accordance with
the required seed rate
•
The negative pressure has been adjusted
•
The overpressure has been adjusted
•
The scraper or scrapers have been adjusted
•
The slide for regulating the seed flow has been adjusted
•
The seed hopper of the first seed row has been filled with a suf-
ficient amount of seed
•
There is a sufficiently large catch pan below the seeding heart of
the first seed row
•
The machine is raised
> Let the fan run with the corresponding p.t.o. shaft r.p.m
> Place a flat catch pan under the first sowing unit
> Turn the drive wheel to drive the seeding heart. The seed now falls
into the flat catch pan.
If the seed is properly singled and there are no misses on the seed di-
sc:
> The values of the first sowing unit can be transferred to all other so-
wing units.
For safety reasons, you can perform the check once again after set-
ting all the seed rows:
> Fill sufficient seed into all seed hoppers
> Check each sowing unit
