15.0 ADJUSTING THE SEEDING SLIT OPENING
Fig. 9
If the seed production does not correspond with the table, the seeding slit may need
adjustment.
This is done as follows: (see fig. 9)
1. Loosen all lock nuts 3.
2. Adjust bolt 4 such that a feeler gauge of 0.3 mm (0.012”) can be slit just between the
roller 1 and the adjustment plate.
3. Check all bolts 4 and calibrate the slit opening between roller 1 and adjustment plate
2 along the entire width of the machine to 0.3 mm (0.012”).
4. Turn roller 1 half a turn and measure the slit opening.
If necessary adjust it to 0.3 mm (0.012”) by turning bolt 4 in or out.
5. Tighten the lock nuts 3.
@ The split opening should be equal along the entire width of the roller.
@ The slit opening must have the same size as the smallest seed part. This opening is
default set to 0.3 mm.
15.1 ADJUSTING THE SEED-TRAY SCRAPER
When the seeding tray is spoiling seed, the scraper setting may be incorrect.
To adjust this, proceed as follows (see fig. 9):
1. Loosen bolts and nuts 6.
2. Move scraper 5 up or down until the correct setting has been obtained.
3. Re-tighten the bolts and nuts 6.
@ The distance between roller 1 and scraper 5 is default set to 0.8 mm and should be
equally set along the entire width of the roller.
