Adjustments and operations
The spacing between stalks are made through the sprockets change (drive) wheel
shaft and (driven) shaft of cutting system, that is placed in the planter side. The stalks
distribution also depends on the operation speed, that never should be faster than 5 km/
hour.
The planter are manufactured
with 2 sprockets of 20 teeth each one,
and goes with two sets of sprockets
of 18,22,24,26,28 and 30 Teeth. (See
picture below).
For adjusting of stalks distance,
take a look on the table and see the
number of sprockets for desired distance
(See the instructions on page 16).
This table is only reference for starting adjustments of the planter.
External factors like as slippage index of the planter carrying
wheels(skidding), working speed more than recommended (5
Km/hour), Tires inflation (Less than recommended), and field
conditions, can result in values a bit different from those indicated
in the table above.
Therefore, It is always indispensable to make the practical
distribution tests, as indicated in page 19 of this manual.
