Settings
NOTE!
It is possible to make approximate basic settings on a flat, solid floor, but you can only perform final
checks of your settings when sowing in the field!
Horizontal alignment
Horizontal adjustment of the seed drill is carried out by means of the push rod (B). The front and rear
seed rows must have the same depth. If you shorten the drawbar, the front row will be sown deeper. One
tip could be to look at the frame plate or the bottom edge of the plastic cap in relation to the ground.
If the machine is equipped with towing eyelets, the settings are changed with different hitch
heights!
These must be set in the field using the actual seed depth! See below.
First pack the soil lightly and then scrape off very thin layers of soil until the seeds are exposed. The
seeds in all rows should be exposed at the same time. If there are wide variations in seed depth, horizon-
tal adjustment may be necessary. After adjustment, lock the push rod with the locking tab (C)
.
