Fertilizer Distribution - Calibrating
The fertilizer distribution is done through the steel auger type dispensers, and the
different rates are adjusted by the sprocket combinations of the Drive Shaft {
C
} (14-, 18-
, 22-, 26-, 30-, 34- and 38-tooth) and Driven Shaft {
D
} (14-, 18-, 22-, 26-, 30-, 34- and 38-
tooth).
Procedures for the Sprockets
Handling
- Move the lever to alleviate the chain
tightener and lock with the pin in the hole.
- Move the cone of sprockets in the shaft,
aligning the chosen sprocket and the chain.
- Loosen the lever liberating the lock pin.
IMPORTANT
FIND ON THE PAGE 51 THE DIFFERENT FERTILIZER RATES FOR SEVERAL ROW
SPACINGS, ACCORDING TO THE SPROCKET COMBINATIONS.
THE SEED AND FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTION TABLES OF THIS MANUAL, SHOULD BE USED
AS A REFERENCE TO START THE PLANTER CALIBRATION. FACTORS AS SLIPPAGE
INDEX OF THE PLANTER CARRYING-WHEELS (SKIDDING), WORKING SPEED, TIRES
INFLATION AND FIELD CONDITIONS CAN INTRODUCE VALUES A LITTLE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE INDICATED IN THE TABLES. THEREFORE, IT IS ALWAYS INDISPENSABLE
TO MAKE THE PRACTICAL DISTRIBUTION TESTS AS INDICATED ON THE PAGE 52 OF
THIS MANUAL.
Note: - THE CONE BOLTS ON THE SPROCKETS
HANDLING "TRA" ARE PRE-ADJUSTED ON THE
FACTORY, ALLOWING CHANGE OF THE
SPROCKETS WITHOUT USE OF TOOLS. IN CASE
OF ANY SLIDING MOTION ON CONE SHAFT,
JUST RELEASE THE COUNTER NUT AND TURN
AROUND THE BOLT TO RE-LOCK.
IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SPRING
AND SHAFTS NEVER APPLY EXCESSIVE
TORQUE WHEN TIGHTENING.
