The machine's correct operation is not guaranteed if having to plant
on a slope that is more than 10% steep.
We recommend doing the following:
• reduce advancement speed;
• increase the blower's rotation speed up to maximum power (see
table herein);
• frequently check that pipes are not clogged by seeds;
• check the amount of used seeds per planted Ha, corresponds to
that set;
• available on request to install the special doser for steep slopes,
more information to contact our Technical servicing;
• do not, in any case, work on slopes that jeopardise the machine's
stability.
Additional checks before operation
Below is a list of additional checks required before operating the
machine:
• ensure that there are no remarkably big stones or rocks (diameter
superior to 8 to 12 cm) on the soil;
• ensure that there are no protruding sections of trees (over 10
cm) having a diameter superior to 8 to 12 cm on the soil;
• ensure that there are no metal elements of any type whatsoever,
but especially nets, cables, wire ropes, chains, pipes, etc. on the
