transmission (cassette position II) 100 feed adjustment positions are available in a smaller range.
NOTE! To adjust the feed, push the plastic locking lever towards the rear end of the machine
(arrow direction) and turn it simultaneously 90 degrees. This will unlock the hand wheel.
To increase the dosage, turn the hand wheel counterclockwise. When you know the suitable dosage of seed,
you can choose a normative feeder adjustment position from inside the machine cover.
Note the suitable cassette position. You should make the adjustment by approaching the desired position
always from a higher adjustment position. If the original adjustment is lower than required, turn the hand
wheel counterclockwise for 1/2 - 1 turns above the intended adjustment. After that return to the desired
position by turning the wheel.
After making the adjustment, turn the locking lever into the groove on the hand wheel to lock the wheel and
the lever. Note that the adjustments given in the seeding table are normative, and the actual dosage varies
with different lots of seeds. We recommend checking the required dosage by performing a calibration test.
If impurities accumulate in the feeding device, the cylinders may get clogged, which may considerably distort
the dosage. Regular cleaning is recommended. The cylinders can be cleaned by adjusting the dosage to zero,
and back to desired position. You should then remember the adjustment instruction given above: turn first 1/2-
1 turns over the desired adjustment position.
If the machine is equipped with a seed dressing device, the calibration test must be repeated after seeding
approximately an area of one hectare. The dressing agent may reduce the dosage amount with up to 20%!
NOTE!
Do not use force to turn the hand wheel to zero position. Simultaneous turning of the
feed shaft facilitates adjustment.
Instructions for using the seeding table and performing the calibration test are provided further
below.
NOTE! The maximum speed when seeding peas and beans is 6 – 7 km/h
