Adjustment Of The Botton Plate; Gearbox (Seed) - GASPARDO S MARIA Serie Empleo Y Mantenimiento

4.4.3 ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOTTON PLATE

The botton plate adjustment lever (Fig. 409) works on a scale that is
graduated from «0» to «7» positions. This lever must be positioned
according to the number given in the seed planting table for the
type of seed used.
Bear in mind that the values provided by the a.m. tables are
indicative only, because the quantity of even the same type of
seed distributed may vary according to specifi c weight, moi-
sture content, seed quality, and sizing, soil condition (tilling,
structure, gradients, etc.).
Position the lever of the botton plate (to the right of the hopper) on
the 7-position pointer (Fig. 409):
N° 1, for small seeds (rape, etc);
N° 3, for medium seeds (wheat, barley, etc.);
N° 7, for large seeds (peas, soybean, etc.).
When the botton plate (B, Fig. 410) are correctly positioned they
ensure smooth and steady distribution of the seeds.
ATTENTION
If the lever is positioned beyond the maximum opening (>7),
the seeds will be discharge from the hopper.
For best seeding results, periodically check the position of the feeler
pins (B): the lever (Fig. 409) in position "0", adjust the distance
between the feeler and the distributor roller (A) by means of the
nut (D) to 0,5 ÷ 1 mm (Fig. 410).

4.4.4 GEARBOX (SEED)

The gearbox is positioned on the right side of the machine and
its motion is given by the driving wheel. The speed of the seed
distributing units can be changed from the gearbox by moving the
adjustment lever that is calibrated continuously on a scale from
«0» to «50» (Fig. 411).
To set or change the gearbox pointer, loosen the knob (C, Fig.
411), put the lever at the bottom of the scale «50», then put it on
«0» (zero) and then position it on the value found.
Lock it in position by tightening the knob.
