Working preparation
The graphite powder should be combined to the seeds to facilitate the distribution and
to increase the lifetime of the metering device.
• The graphite should not be combined before the seed treatment.
• The graphite should not be combined to the insecticide to apply in the seeds.
• For non-treated seeds, use only half of the graphite mentioned in the previous table.
The seed distributor features buttons, rocker arm and pulley. They must
be cleaned internally at least once a day for the plantation of non-treated
seeds and twice a day for the plantation of treated seeds.
