Follow the instructions in the operating manual!
Because of the various thousand grain weights (Tausandkorngewichte – TKG), dressing and other seed –specific characteristics, the values in
the sowing table are only shown as approximate values. In every instance a turning test should be carried out before sowing.
Important instructions!
1. A pre-turn of the sowing shaft is needed to fill the sowing elements.
- ca. 10 rotations of the sowing shaft before the actual turning test
- with grains around 1 turning trough full. Beforehand align the machine exactly horizontal behind the seed-box top
After ca. 500m stretch a check of the control turning should be carried out.
2. With the upper discharge system seed types up to .5 mm thick (all grain types in the lower discharge system)are fundamentally drilled in
chute position ”0”.
Chute position ”1” is used when there is spraying or destruction (audible cracks) of seeds in the lower discharge system with large numbers
of seed parts falling out.
. With the upper discharge system, e.g. of rape, adjusting of the shut-off slide takes place depending on the free flow of seeds. The necessary
practical monitoring of the free flow and the required adjusting of the shut-off slide is described in the chapter entitled ”Grain test” in the
operating manual and on page 2 of the sowing table.
4. If rape-seeds are sown in the lower discharge system, fine seed finger is then always engaged and chute position ”0” is used.
5. In the lower discharge system with very low seed amounts a gear-setting of under 10 is necessary. Then with the support halve the sowing
shaft speed and double the gear setting value. Next turn again.
