Setting the planter to transport position
Procedures before the plantation
Ideal working speed
• Totally lift the planter to activate the hydraulic system.
• The STP² planter works with higher efficiency from 5 to 7 km/h.
• It is recommended to fill up the planter on the working place only to avoid
overloads to the hydraulic lift system during the transportation.
• Do not pull the planter if it has a load excess.
Keep a constant speed during the whole job.
ATTENTION
NOTE
• Before starting the plantation, make a general inspection on the equipment.
Retighten all bolts and nuts and check the condition of all pins and cotter pins, avoiding
future damages. Repeat this operation after the first day of work.
• Also check if there is no strange object inside the hoppers, which may damage the
metering mechanisms.
• Lubricate all grease fittings appropriately. (See lubrication instructions on page 44).
