Adjustable bottom gates (2) are positioned
beneath the seed wheels (1) to ensure pro-
tective sowing. You can use the adjust-
ment lever (3) to set 6 different bottom
gate positions as per the sowing table.
Important! In the case of large-grained
seeds (peas, beans), bottom
gate position 5 must be used.
See "Modifying the seed drill in
line with the seed being used".
From time to time, the bottom gate position
must be checked. To do so, move the ad-
justment lever (3) over the notched plate
(4) until you feel a slight resistance (do not
use force!). In this lever position, the tip of
the point (5) must be aligned with the hole
(6) in the notched plate (4). If this is not the
case, you must take corrective measures.
