5.0  SETTING THE SEED-QUANTITY 

 

The seed quantity can be set on the Genesis by using the gearbox and changing the gate opening 
of the seed element valve. 
 
These provide various combinations for a broad range of settings (see table 1). The gearbox have 
been marked with a decall which indicate numbers 1 to 11 given in table 1. By changing the 
gearbox as indicated, the required quantity setting is obtained. 
 
To set the gearbox proceed as follows: (Figure 10) 
 

-  Loosen the knobs (1) 
-  Turn knob (2) to the required setting  
-  Tighten the knobs (1) 

 
 
 

 

Figure 10

 

 
 
The gearbox also includes a counter (3) for reading the amount of processed surface in acre,  
total working hours, distance travelled and the working speed. Details for operating the counter can 
be found in the toolbox.
