5.4 Transporting seeds
The metering units are made of stainless steel and plastic as are the rotors.
Each metering unit is equipped with a valve allowing the half-seed drill to be cut off (1 row out of 2) depending on the wiring
of the distribution heads
To send the contents of the hopper to all of the seed drill, the lever must be in the middle position to select one of the two
rows. Position the lever on the corresponding row. Repeat this action on all the metering units.
5.5 Calibration of metering units
1. Fit the appropriate metering unit according to the quantity and type of seed (see table and instructions for fitting the
metering unit)
2. Turn on the seed drill control tablet and go to the calibration settings menu (see ‘Using the tablet’)
3. Fill the hopper
4. Open the flap to release the seed or fertiliser.
5. Open the flap under the metering unit, activate the valve to direct the flow to the side chosen for calibration
6. Insert the appropriate container (photo)
7. Proceed to the ‘flow test’ phase (see ‘Using the tablet’).
8. Remember to close the flap when calibration is complete.
IMPORTANT:
Recalibration is necessary each time the product, the variety or the metering roll is changed.
Changing the dose without changing the product does not require recalibration.
