Page 106: Selecting The Dosing Roller
Settings Selecting the dosing roller The requisite dosing roller is dependent on the seed type and spread rate and can be found from Table 1. For seed not listed in Table 1, select the dosing roller of one of the seed types listed in the table of a similar grain size.
Page 107: Replacing The Dosing Roller
Settings 8.1.2 Replacing the dosing roller CAUTION Switch off the control terminal! Risk of accident due to unintended movements of the metering unit or other implement components caused by radar pulses. The metering roller can be replaced more easily if the hopper is empty.
Page 108 Settings 4. Twist and remove the bearing cover (Fig. 18). Fig. 84 5. Pull the metering roller out of the metering unit. Install the metering roller in the re- verse sequence. Fig. 85 6. If necessary, pull the shutter back out of the slot in the metering unit and fasten in park- ing position.
