Planting procedure

The seedlings must be planted in soil which has been
finely tilled with a harrow or hoeing machine and lightly
compacted on the surface.
Do not load any seedlings into the dispenser that have
the root ball (or parts of it) missing as these will not be
planted properly.
We recommend you dampen the root ball well (but with-
out causing dripping) to help the dispenser plant the

Preliminary operations
Before starting the planting, the following operations
must be carried out.
1) Check that the distance center to center of dual rows
is correct (see "Adjusting the centre to centre of dual
rows - page 18").
2) Check that the distance between dual rows is cor-
rect (see "Adjusting the distance between dual rows"
- page 19).
3) Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the plant spacing" - page 23).
4) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the
distance between the packing wheels and the
ploughshare using the handwheel (A) (see "Adjust-
ing the spacing between the packing wheels and the
ploughshare" - page 15).
5) Turn the levers (B) by the same amount to set the
parallelogram parallel to the ground.
6) Use the knob (C) to adjust the furrow depth (see
"Planting depth adjustment" - page 17).
7) Turn the knob (D) and use screw (E) to adjust the
planting force to apply to the ground (see "Adjusting

Planting operations
1) To prevent overloads the operator on the tractor
must lower the work vehicle with the tractor moving
forwards at low speed.
Do not reverse the tractor with the work vehicle on
the ground as this could damage the ploughshare.
2) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the work
vehicle.
In the planting stage, the operators on the work vehi-
cle must adopt a correct posture with their feet rest-
ing on the footboard (H) and must agree - together
with the tractor driver - on the most effective speed
of travel.
3) Load the seedlings into the dispenser and keep it
loaded during the planting stage.
Do not load the seedlings into the front cups as they
are continually opening and closing.
4) The operators on the work vehicle must decide on
the tractor's speed of travel together with the tractor
driver so that a least 30 seedlings can be placed in
