Figure 8. Bottom flap adjustment lever, seed
Adjustment position 4 of the bottom flaps is used only when seeding especially large
seeds (e.g. certain canned peas). Note that in position 4 the feed amount increases
when driving uphill.
Caution! The seed can flow out of the container freely when the
bottom flap lever is moved below past the scale.

Fertilizer feeding equipment and adjustments
Overview
On the machine, fertilizer feed chambers make up half the number of the seed feed
chambers. Feed amount adjustments are made by turning the feed rollers mounted on
the fertilizer feed axis sideways in relation to the feed chambers. Adjustments are made
using a hand-wheel on the left side of the machine.
The feed chambers are located at the bottom of the containers. This solution provides
an almost standard seed amount despite any tilting of the seed drill from side to side, or
the driving direction. The feed is a groove-feed type, in which the feed bodies are called
feed rollers, see Fig. 4. The bottom flaps under the feed rollers are adjustable, by
means of an adjustment lever in the center of the front end of the machine. The entire
fertilizer feeding machine is manufactured of corrosion-resistant materials. The fertilizer
container enables the application of all types of granular fertilizer. The use of powdered
fertilizers should be avoided. An agitator shaft is available as an option.
