The seedlings must be planted in soil which has been
finely tilled with a harrow or hoeing machine and lightly
compacted on the surface.
Do not work on extremely spongy spoil, or extremely
compact soil, nor on very wet ground, as these condi-
tions would all affect planting quality negatively.
During planting, the work vehicle's driving wheels must
grip the ground at all times, the support wheels (for the
WOLF PRO COMPACT machines) must be touching the
ground and the tractor lift must be fully lowered.
Preliminary operations
Before starting planting, position the machine on flat
ground and carry out the following operations.
1)
Check that the plant spacing is correct.
2)
The plant spacing depends on the number of cups
fitted on the dispenser (see "Plant spacing range" -
page 6).
3)
Check that the row spacing is correct (see "Adjust-
ing the row spacing" - page 18).
4)
Assess the consistency of the ground and decided
on the tilt of the compacting wheels depending on
whether you are planting seedlings in bare ground
or with plastic mulching sheets.
5)
Adjust the protection skid position according to
whether you are planting seedlings in bare ground
or with plastic mulching sheets (see "Adjusting the
protection skid" - page 19).
6)
Decide whether to disable one or more planting
units (see "Disabling a planting unit" page 22).
7)
Move the levers (C) in the same way to set the
dispenser(s) parallel to the ground.
- For WOLF PRO COMPACT machines only.
8)
Use the levers (D) to position the support wheels so
that they are touching the ground.
Make sure the support wheels are not applying
pressure to the ground.
Night-time work or poor visibility conditions
Working at night or in poor visibility conditions increases
the risks arising from machine use; in these conditions,

INFORMATION FOR USE
We recommend you dampen the root ball well (but with-
out causing dripping) to help the dispenser plant the
seedling and ensure the plant is more likely to take root.
9)
Use the handwheel (A) to adjust the planting depth
(see "Planting depth adjustment" - page 16).
10) User the lever (B) to adjust the planting force to ap-
ply to the ground (see "Adjusting the planting force
( load applied to the ground)", on page 17).
11) Position the trays (E) safely in the tray holder.
Planting operations
1)
To prevent overloads the operator on the tractor
must lower the work vehicle with the tractor mov-
ing forwards at low speed.
Do not reverse the tractor with the work vehicle on
the ground as this could damage the drilling cups
and the motion transmission to the dispenser.
2)
Stop the tractor and let the operators get on the
work vehicle.
In the planting stage, the operators on the work ve-
hicle must adopt a correct posture (with their feet
resting on the footboard (F) and must agree - to-
gether with the tractor driver - on the most effective
speed of travel.
3)
Move forwards with the tractor before starting the
planting.
4)
The operators must take the seedlings from the
trays and place them in the drilling cups which, al-
ternatively, will be positioned at the top of the dis-
penser.
5)
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
corrective measures (see "Information on adjust-
ments" and "Troubleshooting"- pages 16 and 27).
proper lighting must be provided to ensure safe work.
