3.12 SEED DISCHARGE FROM THE HOPPER

Proceed as follows to discharge the seeds from the hopper:
- Extract the lock pin (A Fig. 39) and, using the handle, move the
bush housing in the direction of the arrow.
- Release the seed-test trays (Fig. 40) and position them beneath
the seed discharge mouths.
- for large quantities, it is advisable to use the crank on the gear
shift to rotate the agitator shaft to better control seed flow into
the bins. To empty small amounts of seed, shift the doser lever
beyond position 9 (Fig. 41).
- After seed discharge has been completed, return the trays,
rack, and dosage adjustment lever to their initial work positions.

3.13 DURING WORK

The seeder has been studied to allow a high sowing speed,
compatible with the type and surface of the ground.
Bear in mind that a variation in tractor speed does not lead to a
corresponding variation in seed sown per hectare.
Always work at a constant speed. Sudden changes in speed will
result in an uneven distribution of the product.
Maintain e seeding speed compatible with type and cultivation
of the soil in order to avoid breakages or damage.
At the start of each new passage, the machine travels for approx
a metre before the seeds reach the seed-planting furrow through
the delivery tubes. Vice versa, at the end of the passage, it
discharges all the seeds present in the delivery tubes. This should
always be borne in mind to obtain a good final result.
Always respect the following rules for successful sowing:
- Keep the tractor hydraulic lifting unit in its lowest position.
- every now and then check that the coulters are not blocked with
vegetable residues or clogged with soil that retains the seeds.
- check that the distributors are free from foreign bodies, that
may have accidentally entered the hopper. They could compro-
mise regular operation.
- The form dimensions and material of the drive shaft elastic
pins have been chosen for safety. The use of pins not original
or more resistant, could cause serious damage to the seeding
machine.
- Avoid curves with the machine on the ground, neither work
in reverse.
Always lift it when changing direction or reversing.
- Maintain e seeding speed compatible with type and cultivation
of the soil in order to avoid breakages or damage.
- Never lower the seeder when the tractor is not in travel in
order to prevent the clogging or damage of the seed coulters,
even if these are equipped with protections against clogging;
for the same reason, we discourage going into reverse gear
when the seeder is on the ground.
- Make sure that no foreign material (rope, sack paper) enters
the storage tank when seed is being loaded.
The seeder can transport treated chemical substances
together with the seed. Do not allow children, people, pets to
come near the seeding machine.
