3.3 PREPARATIONS FOR SEED DISTRIBUTION
To obtain the correct rate of seed distribution per hectare (Kg/Ha)
the distributing parts must be suitably adjusted: the transmission,
the dosing rollers and feeler pins.
A rough guide can be obtained from the seed planting table (see
sowing test chapter 3.3.5).
3.3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOTTON PLATE
The botton plate adjustment lever (Fig. 15) is positioned on the
right side of the machine and works on a scale that is graduated
from 1 to 7 positions. This lever must be positioned according to
the number given in the seed planting table for the type of seed
used. Position the lever of the botton plate (to the right of the
hopper) on the 7-position pointer (Fig. 15):
N° 1, for small seeds (rape, lucerne);
N° 3, for medium seeds (wheat, barley, etc.);
N° 7, for large seeds (peas, soybean, etc.).
When the botton plate (B Fig. 16) 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.
To obtain optimum seed distribution check the adjustment of the
botton plate at regular intervals (B):
1) position the lever (Fig. 15) on reference «0»;
2) the lever (Fig. 17) in position «A»;
3) using screw (D), adjust the distance between the feeler pin
and the distributing roller to between 0.5 and 1 mm (E Fig. 16).
3.3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF DOSING ROLLERS
The machine can be used with rollers for the distribution of small,
medium and large seeds.
Before starting seeding, select the most suitable position of the
dosing roller opening lever (Fig. 17) depending on the amount of
seed to be distributed, following the indications provided in the
DISTRIBUTION TABLES (page 15).
The dosing roller opening is adjusted by moving the lever (A, Fig.
17) along the slot between points 0 and 4.
ATTENTION
The dosing roller opening position must always be adjusted
with the hopper and distribution box empty (Fig. 12).
3.3.3 ADJUSTMENT OF SEED GATES
The seed gates for (C Fig. 16) closing off the seed flow from the
hopper have two positions:
1) closed gate: seed flow completely closed and therefore the
seeds do not reach the distributing roller.
2) open gate: seed flow completely open.
