ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS
IN VERY COLD PLACES, REPEATED FROSTBITE CAN HAVE A HONEYCOMB EFFECT ON THE GROUND’S
MOST SUPERFICIAL LAYER. IN THIS CASE THE PLANT’S VERY FIRST ROOTS CAN LOOSEN AND THE
PLANT WILL DIE. SLIGHTLY DEEPER PLANTING IS RECOMMENDED AND IF POSSIBLE, THE USE OF RO-
LLERS TO COMPACT THE EARTH TO BETTER PROTECT THE SEEDS.
IN ALL LAMUSA MACHINES, THE RIGHT SIDE WHEEL ACTIVATES THE SEED DISTRIBUTOR’S MECHANI-
CAL TRANSMISSION. CONSEQUENTLY, SHARP CURVES SHOULD BE PERFORMED TOWARDS THE LEFT
SIDE, SINCE USING THE GROUND WHEEL DRIVE WOULD CAUSE A LESSER SEED DISTRIBUTION.
WHEN STARTING THE MACHINE, FURROWS WILL NOT CONTAIN ANY SEEDS FOR A METRE. WHEN
STOPPING THE MACHINE, SEEDS WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY INSIDE THE SEED HOSES, SLIDE FROM
THE MACHINE AND END UP PILED ON THE GROUND. TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN STOPPING
AND STARTING THE MACHINE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MORE ACCURACY.
ALWAYS WORK AT A UNIFORM SPEED AS SUDDEN ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN WILL CAU-
SE AN IRREGULAR SEED DISTRIBUTION.
