SETTINGS

➜ Lubricate all rotating parts except the seed roller.

➜ The brush, the guide plate, the spongy rubber of the transmission wheel

and the spongy rubber of the compaction wheel are consumables.

Check them regularly and replace as necessary.

➜ Make sure the seedbed is uniform.

➜ Check whether the seed roller is caked in dirt, pesticides or seed

casing residues. If it is, it should be cleaned.

➜ Prepare a seedbed by carefully hoeing and levelling.

➜ When you sow beans or grains, a bypass can occur in the seed

hopper. In this case, gently tap the hopper and fill the hopper

half full instead.

➜ When you disassemble the sower, make sure the free roller

is not caked in dirt, etc. ...

➋

Let it slide along

the axles. Graduation
bar can help to settle

the distance according

to your need.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

➜ BRUSH: In its default position, the brush lightly touches the seed roller.

To increase the volume of seeds, put the brush in a high position
(loosen the wing nut and lift the brush).
If you use coated seed: The brush should touch the seeds, and exercise slight
pressure on them. It is necessary to find the right adjustment for your seeds, because
if the brush is too low, it will wear very (too) quickly. If it is too high, the seeds will
break.

➜ GUIDE PLATE: The guide plate forms

a cavity between the roller, the brush
and the guide plate.
Without this space, the seeds might break.
The end of the guide plate
must be in close contact with the roller.
If the guide plate becomes misaligned,
you can realign it using the diagram opposite.
In a general way, guide plate should be removed
as soon as the brush is raised.

➜ SEEDING DISTANCES: The distances between the seeding can be adjusted by

adjusting the pinions and the number of holes in the roller,
see the seed distance table.

Note: the actual planting distances may vary depending on soil quality and speed

of work. Test intervals based on the ground before you start planting.
