6.8 PLANTING DEPTH
PERFORM THIS OPERATION TO EACH METERING UNIT AND ONLY WITH THE MACHINE IN RAISED
POSITION.
TO ADJUST THE PLANTING DEPTH, USE THE GRADUATED SCALE FROM 0 TO 10. EACH VALUE ON
THE SCALE CORRESPONDS TO THE A PLANTING DEPTH IN CENTIMETRES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE
VALUE 5 IS SELECTED IN THE SCALE, THE PLANTING DEPTH WILL BE 5 cm. IT IS RECOMMENDED
NOT TO USE VALUES HIGHER THAN 8. DEPENDING ON THE FIELD, THESE VALUES CAN DIFFER.
FOR THIS REASON IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM A FIELD TEST BEFORE PLANTING.
