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 seedling fall from the
dispenser better and also take root.

Preliminary operations
Before starting planting, position the machine on flat
ground and carry out the following operations.
1)
Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the plant spacing" - page 22).
2)
Check that the row spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the row spacing" - page 21).
3)
Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the
disposition of the packing wheels (see "Adjusting
the spacing between the packing wheels and the
ploughshare" - page 18).
4)
Decide whether the gap between the packing
wheels is large enough to ensure the correct pres-
sure is applied to the root ball (see "Adjusting the
packing efficiency" - page 18).
5)
Turn the levers (D) by the same amount to set (de-
pending on the machine model) the dispenser(s)
parallel to the ground.
6)
Use the knob (A) to adjust the furrow depth (see
"Planting depth adjustment" - page 19).

INFORMATION FOR USE
Do not work on extremely spongy spoil, or extremely
compact soil, nor on very wet ground, as these condi-
tions would all affect planting quality negatively.
During planting, the work vehicle's driving wheels must
grip the ground at all times and the tractor lift must be
fully lowered.

7)
Turn the knob (B) to adjust the planting force to ap-
ply to the ground (see "Adjusting the planting unit
load" - page 24).
8)
Turn knob (C) to apply the small wheel load to the
ground (if wheel is fitted) (see page 19) or knob (E)
to apply the skid load to the ground (see page 20).
9)
Position the trays (F) safely in the tray holder.
Planting operations
1)
To prevent overloads, the operator on the tractor
must lower the work vehicle with the tractor mov-
ing 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 ve-
hicle must adopt a correct posture (with their feet
resting on the footboard (G) and must agree - to-
gether with the tractor driver - on the most effective
speed of travel.
