The desired seed rate is adjusted with the gear-
box lever of the Vario gearbox.
The correct gearbox position is determined dur-
ing seed calibration. To do so, several calibration
procedures are often required.
With the values from the first calibration proce-
dure, the required gearbox position can be im-
mediately calculated.
With another calibration procedure, you can
check the gearbox setting value determined with
the calculating disc rule.
The calculating disc rule has three scales
 An outer white scale (Fig. 69/1)
for all seeding rates above 30 kg/ha
 An inner white scale (Fig. 69/2)
for all seeding rates below 30 kg/ha.
 A coloured scale (Fig. 69/3)
with all gearbox settings from 1 to 100.

The calculating disc rule (Fig. 69) is not required for electronically
regulated seed rate adjustment.
