ADJUSTMENTS
6.12 OPENING COMPONENTS
The depth at which the opening components are buried depends on:
- The planting depth of the metering unit which has the opening component assembled.
- The opening component’s adjustment.
ADJUST THESE COMPONENTS ONLY AFTER ADJUSTING THE METERING UNIT’S PLANTING DEPTH.
IN THE CASE OF NO-TILL FARMING, THE TURBO DISC OPENERS NEED TO BE ASSEMBLED ON
THE PLANTER’S FRAME AND NEED TO COINCIDE WITH EACH METERING UNIT’S SOWING ROW.
THE FURROW-OPENER BLADE NEEDS TO BE ASSEMBLED ON THE METERING UNITS (see sections
6.12.3 ADJUSTING THE FURROW-OPENER BLADE and 6.14 TURBO DISC OPENER).
6.12.1 ADJUSTING THE BLADE AND THE CLOD REMOVER
The depth at which the blade and the clod remover are going to be buried depends on the type
of metering unit:
- METERING UNITS K:
1- Loosen the screws (A, Fig. 6.89) to free the blade and the clod
remover.
2- Place the blade and the clod remover at the desired height.
3- Tighten the screws (A, Fig. 6.89) to x both components.
CLOD REMOVERS CAN BE REPLACED BY DISC OPENERS OR FURROW-OPENER BLADES OR FURROW’S
RESIDUE ROTARY CLEANERS.
- METERING UNITS P:
1- Loosen the screw (B, Fig. 6.90) to free the blade.
2- Place the blade at the desired depth and x it by tightening
the screw (B, Fig. 6.90).
3- Loosen the screw (C, Fig. 6.90) to free the clod remover.
4- Shift the clod remover along the blade until it reaches the
desired height.
5- Fix the clod remover to the blade by tightening the screw (C.
Fig. 6.90).
