6.3.2 ADJUSTING THE SEED EJECTOR
CAUTION: THE SEED EJECTOR SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BE-
FORE FILLING THE SEED HOPPER.
The seed ejector places every single seed in the same way
on the seed disc’s holes and ejects them when they reach
the same place. Therefore, they are precisely placed into
the furrow bed.
To adjust the seed ejector, follow these steps:
1- Remove the two securing knobs of the metering box’s
lid. (Fig. 6.16).
2- Remove the metering box’s lid.
3- Loosen the slide’s securing knob (Fig. 6.17).
4- Place the slide at the correct position. For the standard
adjusting, place the slide tangent to the exterior of the
disc’s hole that coincide with the vacuum cut-o line.
See the mark on the slide (in red, Fig. 6.18)
THE MARK ON THE SLIDE (IN
RED, FIG. 6.18) INDICATES
THE ADJUSTING POINT IN
STEP 4.
WHEN PLANTING PILLED
SEEDS, PLACE THE SLIDE SO
THAT IT COVERS ¼ OF THE
HOLE, AS SHOWN IN THE
PICTURE (A, FIG. 6.19).
WHEN PLANTING VERY BIG
SEEDS, MOVE THE SLIDE
AWAY ¼ OF THE HOLE, AS
SHOWN IN THE PICTURE (B,
FIG. 6.19).
