Forward Speed
The forward working speed will affect the distance between drops of feed - to increase the distance
between drops use a faster forward speed, to reduce the distance use a slower forward speed.
Storage
For extended periods of storage, it is advisable that the machine be kept in a clean dry environment
protected from the elements to avoid risk of corrosion.
The machine should be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated prior to storage. At this point it is good
practice to check the machine for worn or damaged components - any parts that require replacing should
be ordered and fitted at the earliest opportunity so the machine is fully prepared for the next seasons
work.
