Planting In Bare Ground Mode; Adjusting The Row Spacing - Checchi & Magli WOLF Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

Seat positioning
Poor work posture will tire the operator and could lead
to mistakes being made; therefore, before starting work,
adjust the seat and secure it in the position that offers
maximum comfort.
Proceed as outlined below.
1) Loosen the screws (A) and adjust the seat height.
2) Tighten the screws to secure the seat in the right po-
sition.

Planting in bare ground mode

The seedlings must be planted in soil which has been
finely tilled with a harrow or hoeing machine and lightly
compacted on the surface.
We recommend you dampen the root ball well (but with-
out causing dripping) to help the dispenser plant the
seedling and ensure the plant is more likely to take root.
Do not work on extremely spongy spoil, or extremely
compact soil, nor on very wet ground, as these condi-
tions would all affect planting quality negatively.
During planting, the work vehicle's driving wheels must
grip the ground at all times and the tractor lift must be
fully lowered.
Preliminary operations
Before starting the planting, the following operations
must be carried out.
1) Check that the plant spacing is correct. The plant
spacing depends on the number of drilling cups fit-
ted on the dispenser (see "Changing and replacing
the drilling cups - page 31) and/or the number of
teeth on the pinion that transmits the motion to the
dispenser (see "Replacing the driving wheel pinion" -
page 32).
2) Check that the row spacing is correct (see "Adjusting
the row spacing" - page 18).
3) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the dis-
tance between the packing wheels and the plough-
share (see "Adjusting the packing wheels" - page16).

4) Turn the lever(s) (A) by the same amount to set the
dispenser(s) parallel to the ground.
With machines with one driving wheel only, posi-
tion the powered wheel lower than the idle wheel to
guarantee correct motion transmission.
5) Use the handwheel (B) to adjust the planting depth
(see "Planting depth adjustment" - page 17).
6) Turn the handwheels (C) and (D) to adjust the plant-
ing force to apply to the ground (see "Adjusting the
planting force" - page 17).
7) Position the trays (E) safely in the tray holder.
Planting operations
1) To prevent overloads, the operator on the tractor
must lower the work vehicle with the tractor moving
forwards at low speed. Do not reverse the tractor with
the work vehicle on the ground as this could damage
the drilling cups and the motion transmission to the
dispenser.
2) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the work
vehicle.
In the planting stage, the operators on the work vehi-
cle must adopt a correct posture (with their feet rest-
ing on the footboard (F) and must agree - together
with the tractor driver - on the most effective speed
of travel.
3) Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
