3.5 REPLACING THE SEEDING DISK AND ADJUSTMENTS

All the operations described in this paragraph must be carried
out by expert personnel, equipped with protective gloves, in a
clean and dust-free environment.
- The seeder must be clean and dry, detached from the tractor
and in a stable position.
- Only clean parts that are in good condition must be
assembled.
- The disk must be assembled with the pegs (1 Fig.14)
pointing towards the inside of the distributor.
- If some pegs are bent or missing from the disk it means
that foreign bodies have entered the distributor and so the
disk must be replaced.
- If there are circular scratches, they must not be more than
1/3 of the disk thickness.
- Hand-tighten only the winged nut that closes the cover (A
fig. 13).
N.B. When the worn discs are replaced, the cover gaskets
should also be replaced.

1) Lift the single seeder from the ground in the following way:
- Hook the spring the position 1 (Fig.15)
