Pict. 37 – MICRO REGULATION
4.6.5 REGULATING THE FERTILIZER
The fertilizing products contained in the tanks
(1Pict. 36) are measured during the sowing
through a gear (Pict. 38). Depending on the
quantity per hectare (see table pag 33), it is to set
the gear ratio through the two pinions A and B.
The planter can be equipped with two different
augers, a red one (small loads) and a black one
(big loads).
Because of the big difference in the fertilizers, in
their variable density and in their irregular
granulometry, it is impossible to give a precise
regulation, suitable for every case: a reference
regulation has to be made by consulting the table
(pag. 34)
The fertilizer has to be laid down at about 5
÷
10
cm on the side of the row. Too narrow, you risk,
the fertilizer eats the plants.
4.6.6 REGULATING THE SHARE
In front of the hay-cutter, there is the share (16 –
Pict. 1/2), having a double functionality: to remove
from the sowing area clods and stones, and to
ensure through a good levelling and an uniform
sowing depth.
In general, it is advised to set the share at about 1
cm from the soil
4.6.7 EXCLUDING THE SOWING
ELEMENT
This operation must be performed, once the
engine is off.
If during the sowing, it was necessary to exclude a
sowing element, you should act as follows:
-
Hook the element to the relative stopping
ratchet gear.
-
Disconnect the element from the
transmission, by unplugging the pin, as
showed in the picture (1 – Pict. 39)

UNLOADING THE SEEDS FROM
THE ELEMENTS
MOD:
FUTURA
The seed is discharged from the hoppers, but also
from the distributor by opening the door (1 – Pict.
40). At the end of this operation, it has to be
closed again.
