fertilizer and sowing depths after driving for a certain time. Check the adjustment of the markers (optional)
by also studying the sowing seam area.
Caution! Only lift and lower the machine when it is moving forward. Never reverse the
machine when the coulters are in the ground and power transmission is connected.
Check periodically for drill blockages. Also check the state of all seed and fertilizer lines and clear any
blockages.
At the start of sowing, check the area that can be sown with a single container. You will then be able to
determine the next estimated filling time based on the area surface.
Keep sufficient amounts of seeds and fertilizer in the container. Particular attention must be paid to this due
to the design of the bottom, especially at the start.
Do not store fertilizer or seeds in containers for several days, especially in moist weather. Damp fertilizer can
lead to feeding problems.
Optimal seeding results are achieved at driving speeds of 7-10 km/h.
In rocky conditions, the driving
speed must be reduced to suit the circumstances.
The maximum sowing speed with small and regular-sized seeds under good conditions is 15 km/h;
that for sowing peas and beans is 6-7 km/h.
6. Feeding equipment ground wheel
The feeding equipment receives the power to drive it from the ground wheel on the right side of the machine.
The ground wheel is mounted on the container and is therefore lifted when the machine itself is lifted. When
the machine is lifted, the ground-wheel is no longer in contact with the ground and it stops providing power.
A separate power transmission clutch is therefore not required.
Caution! Do not rotate the ground-wheel to reverse direction! Always raise the machine
before reversing the tractor. Both coulters and the ground-wheel must be clearly off
the ground.
