5.3 Regulating the seed flow rate (calibration test)
Purpose
During the calibration test, the seed quantity for a specific area is defined.
Requirements
The following requirement must be fulfilled for this work step:
• The implement is disconnected from the power source, see Disconnecting the
seed drill from the power source On page 40.
Required components, tools and materials
For this work step, the following components, tools and materials are required:
Calibration bag
Hexagon key
Procedure
This is how to perform a calibration test:
Step Description Explanation
1 Loosen the hexagonal bolt (2) on the
calibration slide (1).
2 Take the calibration slide out of the an-
choring and turn it by 180°.
3 Attach the rotated calibration slide back
onto the seeder.
Result:
4 Hook the calibration bag onto the cali-
bration slide.
5 Select a suitable brush pressure, see
