OPERATIONS - Important Points
- Tighten nuts and bolts after the first day of planting. Verify the conditions of the
pins and cotter pins.
- Observe with attention the lubrication intervals.
- The correct inflation of the tires (the same for both) is important to maintain the
planting uniformity.
- When filling the planter observe the correct coupling to the tractor. Verify if
there is any object inside the hoppers that could cause damage to the metering
devices.

- Inspect the seed metering systems twice a day and if necessary, remove the
adherence of chemical products from those ones.
- Observe the good operation of the fertilizer metering system at least twice a
day.
- Maintain the machine leveled.
- Verify the adjustments established in the beginning of the planting periodically.

- Never make maneuvers or use reverse speed with the row units touching the
soil.
- Never make sharp turns during the operation, mainly in no-till planting. The
row unit components may result in a lot of damage.
- To make any verification in the machine, it is necessary to lower the planter
on the ground and to turn off the tractor engine.
