Preliminary operations

Before starting planting, position the machine on flat
ground and carry out the following operations.
1) Check that the distance center to center of dual rows
is correct (see "Adjusting the distance between dual
rows and dual row spacing - page 15").
2) Check that the distance between dual rows is correct
(see "Adjusting the distance between dual rows and
dual row spacing " - page 15).
3) Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Plant
changeover" - page 22).
4) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the dis-
tance with knob (A) between the packing wheels
and the ploughshare (see "Adjusting the distance
between the packing wheels and the ploughshare"
- page 11).
5) Turn the levers (B) in the same direction to set the
planting units parallel to the ground.
6) Use the knob (C) to adjust the furrow depth (see
"Planting depth adjustment" - page 13).
7) Use the handwheels (D - E) to adjust the planting
force to apply to the ground (see "Adjusting the
planting unit load").
8) Turn the handwheel (F) to apply the small wheel load
to the ground.
9) Position the trays (G) 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 ploughshare.
2) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the work
vehicle.
3) In the planting stage, the operators on the work vehi-
cle must adopt a correct posture with their feet rest-
ing on the footboard (H) and must agree - together
with the tractor driver - on the most effective speed
of travel.
4) Load the seedlings into the dispenser and keep it
loaded during the planting stage.
5) Do not load the seedlings into the front cups of the
dispensing unit as they are continually opening and
closing.
The operators on the work vehicle must decide on
the tractor's speed of travel together with the tractor
driver so that a least 30 seedlings can be placed in
the dispenser per minute and correct ejector/seed-
ling timing is obtained.
6) Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
7) The operators on the work vehicle must check the
planting quality constantly.
In the event of anomalies, stop the tractor moving
forwards and take corrective measures (see "Adjust-
ment information" and "Troubleshooting"- pages 11
and 28).
