2.16 Calibration, hydraulic feed output

1 Set the seed box. See ”

2.14 Seed box setting with hydraulic feed output” on page 27

Figure 2.37

2 Use the enclosed bag for calibration. Prior to calibration, reset the scale with the bag empty.

Push the bag into the seed box from below through the spring-loaded door.

Figure 2.38

3 Switch off the hydraulic fan by turning the lever to position B.

4 Start the tractor and switch on the hydraulic connector used for driving the fan and feed output.
