15.0 - FUNCTIONS OF THE TRACTOR DRIVER

Pay particular attention to the safety regulations in points 8.11 and 8.12.
Before starting work decide with the operator(s) on a "start" and "stop" signal.
Adjust to the required speed by means of the gear change, keeping at the lowest
possible rpm.
Make certain that the tractor's exhaust fumes are not directed at the operators and
that the silencer is completely efficient. By adhering to the above instructions, it is
possible to work with limited noise levels, thus facilitating communication between
the operators and the tractor driver.

16.0 - FUNCTIONS OF THE OPERATOR

Pick up the plants from the containers and place them correctly in the grippers (fig.
9.B). Decide, with the tractor driver, upon a working speed which allows sufficient
time to perform the above functions properly.
Make constant visual checks of the transplant quality, and in the event of anomalies,
give the STOP signal, so that you can check the causes and take the necessary
corrective action.

17.0 - TRANSPLANT DEPTH

The part of the root or rootball which you wish to plant must protrude towards the
outside of the rubber gripper (fig. 9.A); the correct depth can only be determined in
this way.
The working depth of the ploughshare (fig. 10.A) is adjusted into the various positions
available (fig. 10.B) according to the length of the root to be planted.
It is not advisable to lower the ploughshare more than necessary.
