7.9 Operation on the field
When you start seeding, proceed as follows:
• Start your towing vehicle.
• Switch on the control box using the "On/Off" button.
• Switch on the blower fan and allow to run up to speed; the red LED control lamp
will light up.
• Press the meter roll On/Off button. When the green LED control lamp is lit for the
"Meter roll" button, the gear motor that turns the meter roll and conveys the seed is
switched on.
TIP: these points are not applicable if you have a speed sensor.
• While you are turning at the headlands, you only have to press the "meter roll"
button so that the green LED is turned off. This stops the meter roll and only the
blower fan is still running.
• When finishing the work, press the "ON/OFF button" on the control box to switch
the blower fan and the meter roll off.
The following points must be observed for field operation:
• The blower fan should always be switched on during field operation.
• Verify the required spread rate.
• Check the width distribution (distance) of the baffle plates.
• Check the height of the baffle plates: distance from the ground approx. 40 cm.
• Angle of the baffle plates: attachment plate for the baffle plates should be mounted
at approx. 90° (perpendicular) to the ground.
• The spreading hoses should be routed slightly slanted down or horizontally on the
implement.
• The hopper cover must be tightly sealed.
7.10 Emptying the hopper
To empty the hopper, push the emptying opening
to the right and fix it there. Hold a bucket, a sack
or a different container under it. To ensure
complete emptying, you must also remove the
meter roll cover which is located underneath the
blower fan and install the calibration chute!
Then actuate the menu point "Emptying" on the
control box! With this menu point, the meter roll
starts rotating automatically. Now let the meter
roll rotate until the hopper is completely empty,
and the metering cartridges no longer deliver
seed.
