Redexim 1275 - Adjusting the Working Depth; Setting the Seed Quantity

10
4.0 ADJUSTING THE WORKING DEPTH
The working depth can be adjusted by turning the top rod.
When the top rod is turned and, consequently, shortened the machine will incline forwards,
setting the seeding depth lower.
This works when the ground to be tilled is soft enough to be cut to obtain the correct seeding
depth.
The correct seeding depth can be achieved by, among other things, filling the rear roller with
water.
@ If the rear roller is filled with water, empty it before it starts freezing.
5.0 SETTING THE SEED-QUANTITY
The seed quantity can be set on the Overseeder
by using
various change gears.
These provide various combinations for a
broad range of settings (see Tab 1).
The gears have been marked with a number
given in Tab. 1; by changing the gears
as indicated, the required
quantity setting is obtained.
The different combinations of gears have been installed in
the seed tray.

Tab. 1
These quantities are determined with a slit distance of 0.3 mm between the seeding roller
and the pressure plate (see section 15.0 for setting).
In practice the quantities described in Tab. 1 may deviate to some extent due to other
measuring/working conditions.
@ In order to determine exactly the right seeding quantity for the seed used, it is
recommended to carry out a spreading test (see section 15.2).
