3.16 DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Fertilizers and insecticides are distrib-uted by means of special
dosers (1 Fig. 37) fitted under the corre-sponding hoppers. These
dosers can be adjusted by turning the knob (2 Fig. 37). Depending
on how the dosers are regulated please refer to the tables below
you can determine the quantity of fertilizer and insecticide needed
to cover a hectare of land.
HOPPER AND TANK FILLING
Hoppers and tanks can be filled by hand or using a lifter with a
capacity of at least 200 kg, which must be regularly approved by
the relative authorities. Remember that weights of more than 30
kg must either be lifted by more than one operator or the above-
mentioned lifter must be used following the instructions included
in the relative use and maintenance manual.
- All fertilizer spreader tank loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with the planting unit at a standstill, on
the ground, with the frame open, with the hand brake on, with
the motor switched off and the starter key removed from the
control panel. Make sure that chemicals are kept out of
harm's way.
- All operations must be carried out by trained staff wearing
suitable protection (overalls, gloves, boots, masks etc) in a
clean, dust-free environment.
- Do not place any bags of fertilizer or any other object on the
fertilizer distributor container covers to avoid breaking them
or endangering property or persons.
- Load from the outer sides of the machine.
- When filling the seed, fertilizer and insecticide hoppers,
ensure that no foreign bodies (string, paper, etc.) enter them.
- The seeding machine can transport chemical substances.
Do not allow children, people, pets to come near the seeding
machine.
