6.2. Detaching the machine
The machine should be detached in the following manner (
see Figure 2
):
1. Place the tractor and the machine on a flat surface.
!! Make sure that the machine and the tractor cannot move while you are detaching
them !!
!! Switch off the tractor engine before detaching the machine !!
2. Carefully place the machine on the ground.
3. Loosen the top rod
(4)
and remove it.
4. Loosen the lowest arms
(2)
.
!! The ground must be flat !!
!! First, you will have to remove additional weight !!
5. Start the tractor and drive off.
7. MACHINE SETTINGS
The Speedseed has several options for setting the machine optimally.
7.1. Setting the seed-element valves
The machine is suitable for sowing different types of seeds. Furthermore, the Speedseed can also be
used in combination with various tractors and you can sow at different speeds. To adjust the machine
to the various factors, the machine
’s sowing installation must be adjusted. The sowing elements have
a number of functions (see
Figure 3b
):
1. If the valve is closed, no seeds can flow out of the hopper when the machine is idle
(e.g., during transport).
2. To empty the hopper after sowing, the sowing-element valve can be opened so that
the seeds can run out of the hopper.
3. The valve can be adjusted according to the size of the seeds that will be sown. In
case of fine grass seed, the element valve must be closed completely. Then the gear
wheel grabs the seeds. In the case of larger seeds, the space between the gear wheel
and the valve is not large enough to let the seeds pass. Therefore, the valve needs to
be opened more for larger seeds. Adjusting the size of the opening can be done using
the valve adjustment handle. The handle can be adjusted by loosening the stellar
knob (
1
), selecting the required position by means of the indication sticker (
2
), and
retightening the stellar knob (see
Figure 3a
).
