Adjustments and operations
Operations - important points
• Retighten nuts and bolts after the first day of work and check the conditions of
all pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 operating hours.
• Carefully observe the lubrication intervals.
• Always inflate the tires with the aid of a contention device (tire inflation cage).
• The correct tire inflation is important; keep the same pressure on every tire.
(Check the 'tires inflation' page on the 'maintenance' section).
• Choose a gear that allows the tractor to maintain certain power reserve, ensuring
against unforeseen efforts.
• Speed is relative to the tractor gear and can only be determined by local
conditions. We adopted an average 5 to 7 km/h, which is not advisable to
overcome to maintain service efficiency and avoid possible damages to the
equipment.
• Only people who own a complete knowledge of the tractor and equipment must
operate them.
• Be on a wide field and maneuver on slow gear to hitch the equipment, being
ready to brake when necessary.
• When filling up the planter, observe its proper hitching to the tractor. Verify if
there is any object inside the hoppers that may cause damage to the metering
devices.
• Always use seeds and fertilizer free from impurities.
• Inspect the seed hoppers twice a day and check the good functioning of the
fertilizer metering system.
• Maintain the equipment leveled.
• Periodically check the established adjustments in the beginning of the plantation.
• Give special attention to the fertilizer position on the soil related to the seed.
• Check the seed depth and compaction pressure.
• Never maneuver or use reverse gear when the row units are lowered on the soil.
• Never make sharp turns during the service, especially in a no-till plantation. The
row components may be damaged.
• To make any verification in the equipment, it is necessary to lower it to the ground
and shut down the tractor engine.
• During work or transportation, the presence of passengers on the tractor or
equipment is not allowed.
• For adjustment and verification of the cutting parts (row units) of the equipment,
it is necessary to disconnect the clutches to avoid wastes.
• As previously mentioned this planter features several adjustments. However,
only the local conditions can determine its best adjustment.
