Calibration test
General
As the adjustment values provided in the sowing chart are for reference only, a
calibration test must be performed before starting sowing. Before starting the calibration
test, the machine must be adjusted according to Section 4.3 of the sowing chart.
Caution! Dressed and undressed seeds may require
completely different feed adjustment values in order to
achieve the desired feed value. If a seed dressing device is
used on the fertilizer drill, the correct feed adjustment must
be ensured and final adjustments should only be performed
as required on the machine after the first filling, once an
approx. 2000 m stretch has been sown. Note also that
different seed dressing agents will also affect the feed
amounts in different ways, and can have a reducing effect of
up to 20% compared to undressed seed!
Caution! Ensure that dressing agents are not applied to seeds
which are not meant to be dressed. I.e. sprouting rapeseed
deteriorates easily. In such cases, we recommend fully
removing the dressing containers from the seed drill
container.
Before starting the calibration test, check:
•
The power transmission setting, I or II (Figs. 6 and 7)
•
The position of the bottom flaps (seed and fertilizer)
•
The seed feed amount set on the hand-wheel
•
The fertilizer feed amount set on the hand-wheel
•
That the cover doors on both fertilizer and seed sides are fully open
•
That there is seed and fertilizer in the containers
When the machine is lifted off the ground a little, the feeding system can be rotated with
the crank delivered together with the machine. The crank is put in the right machine end
so that it touches the wheel shaft (fig. 13).
