Figure. 6.8.6. - 157. Seed calibration test. On the left, a machine with a gearbox on the seed side and on
the right, a machine equipped with a dual gearbox.
2. Align the calibration trays (5) with the seed side feeder shaft by turning the crank (1) to
position 1A.
The crank position 1B is for the fertiliser side and the centre position is for
seeding.
3. Check that the calibration trays are at the feeders and their lock (6) is turned to the side.
