Distribution Of Chemical Products - Gaspardo RENATA MARISA Gebrauch Und Wartung

4.7 DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Fertilizers and insecticides are distributed by means of special
dosers (E, Fig. 56) fi tted under the corresponding hoppers.
The hoppers are equipped with a device called the SPEEDY SET
(F, Fig. 56), through which centralized adjustment of the MINIMAX
volumetric dosing devices can be carried out for each single hopper.
Periodically check that the sliding hatches are aligned.
Depending on how the dosers are regulated please refer to the
tables below you can determine the quantity of fertilizer and insec-
ticide needed to cover a hectare of land.
HOPPER AND TANK FILLING
Hoppers and tanks can be fi lled by hand or using a lifter with a
capacity of at least 200 kg, which must be regularly approved by
the relative authorities. Remember that weights of more than 25
kg must either be lifted by more than one operator or the above-
mentioned lifter must be used following the instructions included
in the relative use and maintenance manual.
In the case of manual loading, use the ladder (G, Fig. 57) to gain
access to the hoppers of the planting unit.
- All fertilizer spreader tank loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with the planting unit at a standstill, on
the ground, with the frame open, with the hand brake on, with
the motor switched off and the starter key removed from the
control panel. Make sure that chemicals are kept out of harm's
way.
- All operations must be carried out by trained staff wearing
suitable protection (overalls, gloves, boots, masks etc) in a
clean, dust-free environment.
- Do not place any bags of fertilizer or any other object on the
fertilizer distributor container covers to avoid breaking them
or endangering property or persons.
- When fi lling the seed, fertilizer and insecticide hoppers, ensure
that no foreign bodies (string, paper, etc.) enter them.
- The seeding machine can transport chemical substances.
Do not allow children, people, pets to come near the seeding
machine.
3.7.1REGULATING THE FERTILIZER INTERRING HOE
The depth and distance of the seeding line fertiliser is defi ned by the
supplier of the product: factory setting is at 7 cm. For large quantities,
it is recommended that the distance be increased to avoid "burning"
the seed.
Before using the seed drill, make sure that all of its seeding
components have the same adjustments, as well as being
suitable to the quantity per hectare and the type of fertiliser
that is to be distributed, so that no damage is done to the crop.
Change the distance if required.
Also regulate the depth at which the fertilizer is interred, by changing
the height of the spring (H, Fig. 58).
After completing this operation, cut any extra off the length of the
tube so as to prevent the creation of folds which could obstruct the
fl ow of the fertilizer (I, Fig. 58).
