Figure. 6.8.5. - 156. Seed calibration test on a machine without a gearbox.
2. Align the calibration trays (4) with the seed side feeder shaft by turning the crank to
position 1A.
The crank position 1B is for the fertiliser side and the centre position is for
seeding.
3. Check that the calibration trays are at the feeders and their lock (5) is turned to the side.
4. Remove the cotter (6) of the fertiliser side from the feed shaft chain gear. If the machine is
equipped with a small seed hopper, remove the cotter pin (2) of the small seed hopper.
5. Attach the calibration test crank (3) to the calibration test shaft. Turn the crank until an
even ow of fertiliser or seed comes out of all feeders. Empty the calibration trays.
6. Rotate the shaft counterclockwise by 1 round per second using the calibration test crank.
An area of 100 m² is obtained by turning the crank 22 rounds on the FX300 and
16.5 rounds on the FX400.
7. Pull out the calibration trays and weigh the quantities they now contain.
The calibration test quantity obtained corresponds to the area of 100 m², so the
quantities for a hectare will be hundredfold.
If the weighing result does not match the desired quantity, adjust the length of
the roller in accordance with section 6.6.5. Adjusting the width of the feeder
roller.
8. Repeat the calibration test. Ensure that the result is close enough to the target quantity.
9. Place the calibration trays in the machine. Ensure that the trays are in the correct order
and that they are connected to each other correctly.
10. Insert the cotter pins.
11. Turn the crank to bring the calibration trays to the seeding position.
12. Put the transmission cover back in place.
