3.16.8 Tramline options
The RD 300-450 F models are supplied with equipment for centre marking installed.
The RD 450 F models are fitted to order with either centre marking or side marking. In centre mar-
king the lines will be symmetrical in relation to the centre line of the drill. In side marking a line
is marked on the left-hand side of the seed drill in the course of two consecutive bouts.
The drill is supplied having two or three row shutoff. If one row shutoff is required, it can be ac-
hieved by changing the flap springs for the outlets which are not required to tramline, see ”3.17.2
Adjusting row shutoff” on page 64.
For control or alteration of the track width, see ”3.17.1 Adjusting track width” on page 64.
Tramlining of various spacings is set using the + and - buttons on the Control Box, see ”3.16.2
Functions of the Control Box” on page 52. Bring up the starting values for the first bout using the
manual step button 15. Tramlining is in operation when lights 5 are on. For successful tramlining,
it is essential to work out the tramline layout before starting work.
Example: RD 400 F to produce 24 m tramlines. Set the multiple selector to 6 (24/4=6). Advance
to a start value of 3.
