c) Soil feeding and emptying the machine
The soil hopper contains 1,500 litres and can be fed in various
ways without the work flow at the machine being disturbed or
interrupted.
Feeding can take place:
•
manually by means of a shovel
•
using a wheelbarrow
•
using a conveyor belt
•
using a shovel loader
The remaining soil can be conveyed out of the machine by
opening the soil flap. If the soil heap gets to high in front of the
soil flap opening, the potting machine must be pulled back a bit.
Cleaning of the elevator deflection also takes place by means of
the soil flap opening.
d) Adjusting drill depth and pressure intensity of down
holders
After the size of the soil drill and the down holder matching it
are fixed, the drilling
depth must be set according to the bale’s
height of the product to be potted.
During this, proceed as follows:
•
Screw on down holder to the holding down bars using self-
locking nuts.
