3.9 SEEDING DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

The lengthways seed planting distance is determined by the
number of holes on the seed disc, by the number of teeth, by the
position of the gears on the wheel that transmits the motion to
the gear and by the gear ratio in the gearbox. On the cover of the
gear-box there is a table for adjusting the seeding distance and
the table that shows the drive fitted on the gear drive wheel.
To adjust the longitudinal seeding distance proceed as follows,
referring to the tables on page 46:
- Choose the disk to be installed on the seeders according to
the size of the seed to plant;
- Check on the seeder how many pinions have teeth (wheel)
indicated in the tables on page 46;
- Look for the table the refers the couple of pinions like those
fitted on the seeder;
- From the column of the disk chosen find the seeding distance
desired;
- Move left and see on which pair of gears (A-B) to place the gear
chain;
- To move the chain ,open the gearbox cover and loosen the
chain (1 Fig. 22) by means of the lever (2);
- Place the chain on the located gears and align them (Fig. 23).
- Tighten the chain again with the lever (2 Fig. 22) and close the
cover.
- If the seed planting distance is not obtained with the pinions
(wheel) fitted on the planting unit, check with the table to see if
they need to be replaced or have their positions reversed.
