6.6 PLANTING DEPTH
PERFORM THIS OPERATION TO EACH METERING
UNIT AND ONLY WITH THE MACHINE IN RAISED
POSITION.
TO SET THE PLANTING DEPTH USE
THE GRADUATED SCALE. EACH VALUE
OF THE SCALE REFERS TO THE PLANTING
DEPTH IN CENTIMETERS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE
SET 5, PLANTING DEPTH WILL BE 5 CM. WE
RECOMMEND NOT TO OVERPASS VALUES OVER
7. IN CASE IS NEEDED, THE “DEEP PLANTING
KIT” MUST BE INSTALLED (ASK YOUR DEALER).
DEPENDING ON THE FIELD CONDITIONS
VALUES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN CHANGE.
REAL DEPTH CONTROL TEST MUST BE CARRIED
OUT ON THE FIELD BEFORE START PLANTING.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN SETTING THE PLANTING
DEPTH DO NOT OVERPASS 8 CM VALUE.
To adjust the planting depth of this metering unit, follow
these steps:
1-
Remove the pin (1, Fig. 6.33) to free the crank (2, Fig. 6.33).
2-
Turn the crank to set the desired planting depth. For this
purpose, use the depth indicator (3, Fig. 6.33).
3-
Once the planting depth has been set, lower the crank (2,
Fig. 6.33) and place the pin (1, Fig. 6.33) to fix the planting
depth.
