Planting procedure
The seedlings must be planted in soil which has been
finely tilled with a harrow or hoeing machine and lightly
compacted on the surface.
Do not load any seedlings into the dispenser that have
the root ball (or parts of it) missing as these will not be
planted properly.
We recommend you dampen the root ball well (but with-
out causing dripping) to help the seedling fall from the
dispenser better and also 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, the support wheels must be
touching the ground and the tractor lift must be fully
lowered.
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").
2) Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Adjusting
the plant spacing").
3) Check that the row spacing is correct (see "Adjusting

the row spacing").
4) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust the dis-
tance between the packing wheels and the plough-
share (see "Adjusting the spacing between the pack-
ing wheels and the ploughshare").
5) Decide whether the gap between the packing wheels
is large enough to ensure the correct pressure is ap-
plied to the root ball (see "Packing efficiency").
6) Turn the levers (D) by the same amount to set the
dispenser(s) parallel to the ground.
7) Turn the levers (E) to lower the support wheels to the
ground.
8) Use the handwheel (A) to adjust the furrow depth
(see "Adjusting the planting depth").
9) Turn the handwheel (B) to apply pressure to position
the planting unit on the ground (see "Adjusting the
planting unit load").
10) Turn the wing screw (C) to adjust the small wheel
load on the ground.
11) Place the trays in the tray loader.
12) Position the trays (F) safely in the tray holder.
13) Position the seat so that it offers maximum comfort
(see "Seat positioning").

loaded during the planting stage.
