Potting Machine 1018 - Instruction of Use
- 12 -
There are 3 possibilities for controlling the amount of soil to be delivered:
I.
With the different switching positions on the switch of the elevator and the rubber band:
-
Turning the switch to the right, into position “1” > smaller amount of soil;
-
turning the switch to the left, into position “2” > greater amount of soil.
CAUTION!
- Switch position to the right means: the elevator and the conveyor move in
working direction;
- Switch position to the left means: the elevator moves against working
direction but the conveyor moves in working direction!
II.
With the help of the star handle, in accordance with the symbols, the feed rate of the
conveyor can be increased or decreased.
Before setting this the cross handle must be loosened and after the required setting it
must be re-tightened.
The elevator buckets running always with the same speed shall then deliver upwards
more or less amount of soil.
In case of fine controlling of the amount of soil the star handle is to be turned only one
or two turns each time after which about 40-50 seconds time must be waited. Further
corrections are only allowed after expiry of this period.
III.
For doubling of buckets number in the elevator > against extra price.
NOTE:
Please take care that only the exactly required amount of soil be filled in. Thereby
the elevator drive is relieved which results in longer life time.
