4.2.2 SETTING OF THE SELECTOR
(compulsory)
This setting has to be made by the operator
each time, the type of seed is changed.
The setting lever, one for each sowing element,
can be put on 10 different positions (+ as many
intermediate positions).
In the position 1 you have the maximum choking
of the losses, provided in the distributor disk, while
in the position 10 there is the maximum opening
of the losses.
The lever position, which has to be the same for
each element involved in the sowing, must be
chosen in relation to the type of seed.
Here below, we give you some indicative values:
-
position 1 ÷ 3.5 small seeds;
-
position 3.5 ÷ 7 medium seeds;
-
position 7 ÷ 10 big seeds.
The selector setting has to be made, when the
machine is not running, as follows:
-
lift up the planter at about 10 cm. from the soil
by using the tractor hydraulic lifter;
-
disconnect all the elements by acting on the
relative counter units, as mentioned in the
paragraph 4.6.6, except for the one chosen
for the test (par.4.6.6);
-
make the P.T.O. shaft running at 540g/1’
-
turn the tractor wheel by hands in forward
gear;
move the selector lever (Pict.16) until, through the
inspection door (Pict.17) you can find on the
sowing disk only single seeds, it means: neither
double seeds, nor free losses.
