19.0 - TRANSPLANT DEPTH
Turn the adjustment device (Fig. 17.D) to regulate the working depth, depending on
the type of tuber and the characteristics of the soil.
20.0 - DRIVE WHEEL
The drive wheel runs the distributors, so during work, it must hold the ground constantly
to operate the transplanting equipment correctly. To regulate drive wheel position,
use the various settings provided for the adjusting pin (Fig. 17.H).
21.0 - COVERING DISCS
These discs cover up the tuber and can be adjusted for depth, width and angle of
inclination (Fig. 17).
To regulate depth, use the adjustment spring (Fig. 17.E).
The width and angle of inclination of the discs can be changed using the adjusting
screws (Fig. 17.F and 17.G).
22.0 - TRACTOR GAUGE
The imprint left on the ground by the wheels of the tractor, as well as having a
compacting effect, also usually lowers the surface of the ground. Make sure that the
tractor wheels are well positioned between the rows of tubers (Fig. 15).
23.0 - ACCESSORIES
23.1 - ROW MARKERS: fit as shown in (fig. 16) and adjust the point of the marker to
the desired distance (fig. 16.A). Positioning on the ground and lifting are manual.
Carry out these operations with the machine stationary and make certain that there
is nobody in the area in question.
When this accessory is fitted, the overall dimensions of the machine are increased;
for this reason, take greater care during manoeuvres and disassemble before travelling
on the road.
23.2 - OPTIONAL KIT FOR INTER-PLANT SPACINGS
To obtain the indicated distances between plants, fit the gears as shown in the table
(fig. 13).
Do this work as described in point 18.2
