Regulating The Fertilizer Interring Hoe; Speedy Set - GASPARDO MTE Empleo Y Mantenimiento

3.9.1REGULATING THE FERTILIZER INTERRING HOE

The fertilizer interring hoes operate parallel to the row being sown,
at a standard distance.
Before utilizing the seeder, ensure that this distance is suitable
for the type of fertilizer to be distributed and the quantity to
be distributed per hectare, so as to ensure that the crops will
not be damaged.
Should the distance not be suitable, distance the hoes further from
the row being sown. Also regulate the depth at which the fertilizer
is interred, by changing the height of the spring (Fig. 45). After
completing this operation, cut any extra off the length of the tube
so as to prevent the creation of folds which could obstruct the fl ow
of the fertilizer (Fig. 45).

3.9.2 SPEEDY SET

The fertilizer spreader hopper can be equipped with the SPEEDY
SET (Fig. 46), which allows the MINIMAX volume batchers (properly
modifi ed) to be adjusted on each hopper with just one operation.
Regularly check that the sliding hatches are aligned. The distribu-
tion table suitable for this adjustment is shown further on.
TABLE OF DISTRIBUTION QUANTITY (kg/Ha)
CAUTION: the MINIMAX batcher, adjusted to the fi rst positions
(B0÷C0 or 1÷1.5 with SPEEDY SET) may become clogged because
of the small opening, especially if fertilizers with irregular grain size
are used. If the quantity of fertilizer to be delivered comes within
the fi rst positions (darkened lines on the table) get in touch with the
manufacturer. The fi gures given in the table are approximate as
the specifi c weight and size of the grains often vary. In any case,
always refer to the specifi c weight shown on the product packaging;
if this is not given, get in touch with the manufacturer.
