wheel circumference or the driven distance per pulse (see in-
struction book of the corresponding seed drill control).
Weigh the seed which is caught in the calibration trays and convert it into
1 ha:
Weighed out quantity of seed for 1/10 ha x 10 = quantity of seed per hectare.
Weighed out quantity of seed for 1/40 ha x 40 = quantity of seed per hectare.
Weighed out quantity of seed for 1/50 ha x 50 = quantity of seed per hectare.
With deviations from the required quantity of seed, adjust the gear box accor-
ding to the value shown on the display of the opertion terminal (see operating
manual of the seed drill control).
With each changing of the gearbox adjustment the adjuster lever (63) must
be set to its maximum and after that to the desired adjustment. With a further
calibration test the new adjustment will be checked. Finally the emptying flaps
will be set to sowing position.
ATTENTION! When the bottom flaps are in position 4 or 5, they must first be
opened completely once or twice by means of the bottom flap
lever, after that set it to position 1 or 2, then switch the empty-
ing flaps and finally set the bottom flap lever to the desired po-
sition.
The seed table contains an adjustment recommendation for the gear box and
that for the first calibration test. Therefore it is ensured that the first calibration
test is realistic and the required seed rate is adjusted after the second or third
calibration test. Do not carry through the calibration test with seed wheels
switched off. If necessary switch them on.
Further information can be learned from the instruction book of the seed drill
control.
