5.2.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
FOLDING PARTS
To ensure that the seed drill’s folding parts (sowing unit and
integrated cultivator) fold and unfold smoothly, there are flow
controllers (located in the hydraulic block installed on the ri-
ght-hand side of the machine chassis), one for each operation,
which must be adjusted to the hydraulic output supplied by the
tractor.

It is best to start with the controller almost closed to prevent
excessively fast folding which could damage the seed drill.
