STARTING
5.3 PLANTING ADJUSTMENTS
In this section you are shown the adjustments to be performed on the machine in order to make
it adequate for the terrain and the type of seed:
1- Adjust the row spacing to the type of seed to be planted (see section 6.5 ROW SPACING)
2- Exclude the metering units that are not going to be used (see section 6.7 EXCLUDING A
METERING UNIT)
3- Check that the planter’s wheels are not treading the sowing rows (see section 6.6 DRIVE
WHEELS).
4- Adjust the distance between plants (see section 6.1 PLANTING DISTANCE BETWEEN
SEEDS)
4.1- If necessary, replace the seed discs of the metering boxes when planting a
dierent type of seed. Also replace them when the spacing between plants
is greater or smaller than the one allowed by the disc discs (see section 6.2
REPLACING THE SEED DISC).
5- Adjust the planting depth of the metering units to the type of seed (see section 6.8
PLANTING DEPTH).
6- To correctly close the furrow, adjust the seed-covering components to the terrain’s cha-
racteristics (see section 6.11 CLOSING THE FURROWS).
7- Adjust the opening components to the planting depth and the terrain’s characteristics
(see 6.12 OPENING COMPONENTS).
8- Adjust the pressure that the metering units exert onto the ground (see section 6.10
PRESSURE OF THE UNIT ONTO THE GROUND).
9- In machines provided with fertilizer equipment, adjust the fertilizer dose and the depth
reached by the fertilizer’s discs or coulters. (see section 6.17 FERTILISING EQUIPMENT)
10- In machines provided with insecticide micro granulator and/or helicide micro granula-
tor, adjust the dose to be distributed (6.18 INSECTISIDE MICROGRANULATOR, 6.19 HE-
LICIDE MICROGRANULATOR, OR 6.20 INSECTISIDE MICROGRANULATOR AND HELICIDE
MICROGRANULATOR).
11- In machines provided with turbo disc openers and/or furrow’s residue rotary cleaners,
they should be adapted to the terrain (see sections 6.13 TURBO DISC OPENERS and/or
6.14 FURROW’S RESIDUE ROTARY CLEANERS).
12- Adjust the track marker’s length and the track disc’s orientation (see section 6.16 HY-
DRAULIC TRACK MARKERS).
13- Once the seed hoppers have been lled:
13.1 Adjust the suction values of the pneumatic circuit to the type of seed to be
planted (see section 6.4 SUCTION SYSTEM – FAN).
13.2 Adjust the seed distribution in the seed disc (see section 6.3 SEED DISTRIBU-
TION IN THE SEED DISC).
