Preliminary operations
Before starting the planting, the following operations
must be carried out.
1) Check that the distance center to center of dual rows
is correct (see "Adjusting the centre to centre of dual
rows - page 20").
2) Check that the distance between dual rows is cor-
rect (see "Adjusting the distance between dual rows"
- page 18).
3) Check that the plant spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the plant spacing" - page 21).
4) Assess the soil consistency in order to adjust - using
lever (A) - the distance between the packing wheels
and the ploughshare (see "Adjusting the spacing
between the packing wheels and the ploughshare"-
page 13).
5) Move the levers (B) in the same way to ensure the
parallelogram is positioned parallel to the ground.
6) Move the levers (C) in the same way to lower the sup-
port wheels to the ground.
7) Use the knob (D) to adjust the furrow depth (see
"Planting depth adjustment" - page 13).
8) Use, alternatively, the handwheel (E) and the nut (F)
to adjust the load of the packing wheels (see "Adjust-
ing the planting unit load" - page 24).
9) Position the trays (G) safely in the tray holder.

Planting operations
1) To prevent overloads on the ploughshare, the tractor
driver must lower the work vehicle with the tractor
moving forwards at low speed.
2) Do not reverse the tractor with the work vehicle on
the ground as this could damage the ploughshare.
3) Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the work
vehicle.
4) In the planting stage, the operators on the work vehi-
cle must adopt a correct posture with their feet rest-
ing on the footboard (H) and must agree - together
with the tractor driver - on the most effective speed
of travel.
5) Load the seedlings into the dispenser and keep it
loaded during the planting stage.
Do not load the seedlings into the front cups of the
dispensing unit as are continually opening and clos-
ing.
6) The operators on the work vehicle must advise the
tractor driver as to the speed of travel so that the
right speed is obtained to ensure seedlings are plant-
ed properly.
7) Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
8) The operators on the work vehicle must check the
planting quality constantly. In the event of anoma-
lies, stop the tractor moving forwards and adopt cor-
rective measures (see "Adjustment information" and
"Troubleshooting"- pages 13 and 37).
