Distribution Adjustment - GASPARDO SP SPRINT Empleo Y Mantenimiento

DISTRIBUTION ADJUSTMENT

Distribution adjustment must be done in compliance with:
- the kind of seed that has to be distributed;
- the longitudinal distance between one seed and another.
Kind of seed to be distributed:
Identify the diameter of the holes of the seed disk in Table 3, ac-
cording to the type of seed to distribute.

(**) The seed distributor cover should be replaced by a special one suitable
for small seeds.
For special requirements make a specifi c order.
The values shown on the table are approximate. The defi nite
choice of seed plates is completely up to the user. Complaints
for imprecise sowing due to utilization of improper seed plates
will not be accepted.
Longitudinal distance between one seed and another:
The longitudinal seeding distance is determined by the number of
holes on the seed plate, by the number of teeth and position of the
gears on the wheel which transmits the motion to the gearbox, and
by how the gears are combined in the gearbox. On the cover of the
gearbox there is a table for adjusting the seeding distance and a
table that shows the drive fi tted on the gear drive wheel.
1) From the Seed Investment Table:
Depending on both the row distance of the planter and the selec-
ted seed investment per hectare, calculate the longitudinal seed
planting distance by using Table 2 (Seed Investment Table).
Example:
- Seeding row distance 75 cm;
- number of seeds to be distributed per hectare: 72.000.
According to the "Seed investment Table", the longitudinal distance
between one seed and another is 18,50 cm.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
For row distances differing from those listed in the table, apply the
following directions:
Longitudinal seeding distance =
Example:
- Ha = 10000 m
- Row distance = 0,90 m;
- No. of seeds to be distributed for hectare = 70.000
Table 3
Longitudinal seeding dist =
(cm)
2) About the Seed Planter:
Verifi y which couple of pinions (Wheel) is to be found (C-D ill. no.
22) in the seed planter;
3) From the Table of Longitudinal Seed Planting Distances
(Table 4):
- Look for the table that lists the couple of pinions equal to the
seed planter's one;
- Seek the value of the longitudinal seed planting distance previou-
sly calculated. Should there be two or more types of disks that
assure the same longitudinal seed planting distance, prefer
the disk with the largest number of holes.
- Move left and see on which pair of gears (A-B, Fig.23) to place
the gear chain;
4) About the Seed Planter:
- To move the chain ,open the gearbox cover and loosen the chain
(1, Fig. 23) by means of the lever (2);
- Place the chain on the located gears and align them (Fig. 24).
- Tighten the chain again with the lever (2, Fig. 23) and close the cover.
- If the seed planting distance is not obtained with the pinions (wheel
C-D) fi tted on the planting unit (Fig. 22), check with the table to see
if they need to be replaced or have their positions reversed.
