Seed Distribution - Calibrating
The amount of seed plate cells, the size of the cells, as well as the seed plate
thickness vary according to the grain size and the desired plant population.
Adjust the seed rate per linear meter through the sprocket combinations of the
Drive Shaft {
A
} (17-, 21-, 25-, 34-, and 38-tooth) and Driven Shaft {
B
} (14-, 17-, 22-, 28-
and 30-tooth).

IMPORTANT
FIND ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES THE DIFFERENT SEED RATES FOR SEVERAL CROPS,
ACCORDING TO THE SPROCKET COMBINATIONS.
THE CORRECT SEED PLATE MATCHING TO THE USED SEEDS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
NEVER MIX SEEDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES.
THE SEED AND FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTION TABLES OF THIS MANUAL, SHOULD BE USED
AS A REFERENCE TO START THE PLANTER CALIBRATION. FACTORS AS SLIPPAGE
INDEX OF THE PLANTER CARRYING-WHEELS (SKIDDING), WORKING SPEED, TIRES
INFLATION AND FIELD CONDITIONS CAN INTRODUCE VALUES A LITTLE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE INDICATED IN THE TABLES. THEREFORE, IT IS ALWAYS INDISPENSABLE
TO MAKE THE PRACTICAL DISTRIBUTION TESTS AS INDICATED ON THE PAGE 52 OF
THIS MANUAL.
Procedures for the Sprockets
Handling
- Move the lever to alleviate the chain tightener
and lock with the pin in the hole.
- Move the cone of sprockets in the shaft,
aligning the chosen sprocket and the chain.
- Loosen the lever liberating the lock pin.

Note: - THE CONE BOLTS ON THE SPROCKETS HANDLING
"TRA" ARE PRE-ADJUSTED ON THE FACTORY,
ALLOWING CHANGE OF THE SPROCKETS WITHOUT
USE OF TOOLS. IN CASE OF ANY SLIDING MOTION
ON CONE SHAFT, JUST RELEASE THE COUNTER
NUT AND TURN AROUND THE BOLT TO RE-LOCK.
IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SPRING
AND SHAFTS NEVER APPLY EXCESSIVE TORQUE
WHEN TIGHTENING.
