Preliminary operations
Before starting planting, position the machine on flat
ground and carry out the following operations.
1) Check the tray/runner clearance (see "Adjusting the
clearance between the runners and the trays" - page
23).
2) Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the plant spacing" - page 16).
3) Check that the row spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the row spacing" - page 17).
4) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the
distance between the packing wheels and the
ploughshare (see "Adjusting the spacing between
the packing wheels and the ploughshare" - page
12).
5) Decide whether the gap between the packing

8) Use the handwheel (A) to adjust the furrow depth
(see "Adjusting the planting depth").
9) Turn the handwheel (B) to apply pressure to posi-
tion the planting unit on the ground (see "Adjusting
the planting unit load").
10) Turn knob (C) to apply the small wheel load to the
