4.6.3 SEEDER EXCLUSION

Switch off the tractor and remove the key;
Lift the single seeder from the ground in the following way:
- Hook the spring the position 6 (Fig. 29),
- Lift the seeder until it hooks on,
- Hook the spring the position 7 (Fig. 29);
Disconnect the seeder drive shaft (Fig. 30) as follows:
- Push the coupling sleeve and keep it pressed (8) in the direction
shown by the arrow, press forward and at the same time rotate
the ring nut (9) until it is free of the iron pin;
- Pull the sleeve back at the end of its run (8).
- To render the drive operative again, push the sleeve forward and
lock the ring nut again against the iron pin.
4.6.4 PLANTING UNIT TRANSMISSION
Each box has a safety pin (10, Fig. 31). When the rotation of the
seed disc comes under strain or stops due to the entering of foreign
bodies with the seeds (paper, string etc.), empty the seeds from
the container, check and clean the distributor, check the disc pins
and replace the safety pin.
Each transmission shaft has a torque limiter with a sound alarm
(12, Fig. 31) that, when the pin breaks (10, Fig. 31), signals the
anomaly or breakdown that has occurred in the distributor. If this
happens, stop at once and remedy the situation; remove the broken
pin and replace it (use the pin punch supplied).
IMPORTANT! Do not use metal pins.
CAUTION! Do not completely tighten the screws that hold the box
(11, Fig. 31); oscillation is expected.

4.6.5 FRONT CLOD CLEARER

The action of the front clod clearer is crucial to correct and homo-
geneous sowing; it allows the track of the element's depth wheels
(1, Fig. 25) to be cleared of the largest clods (H, Fig. 32) that could
cause irregular planting depth.

IMPORTANT!

- Use the front clod clearer only where there are large clods.
- The use of the clod clearer must not create dips in the
seedbed.
- Not suitable for sowing on stony ground.

ADJUSTMENT

- Identify a particularly cloddy area of the ground to be sown.
- Put the seed drill in its average working conditions with seed and
fertilizer hoppers half full.
- Set the planting depth (see chapter 4.6.1) according to the agro-
nomic choices dictated by the seed to be distributed.
- Fully raise all the front clod clearers.
- With the tractor's power take-off disconnected and the seed
drill on the ground in its working position, move over the cloddy
area for 4 to 5 metres.
- On the outer element only, lower the front clod clearer to 3 to 4
cm from the level created by the depth wheels of the seeding
element (Fig. 32).
- Move for a short stretch with the seed drill and check the behaviour
of the clod clearer and the whole seeding element.
- Once the best position of the clod clearer has been determined,
set the other seeding elements to this position, using as reference
the notches marked on the individual elements of the clod clearer.
Changing from one type of ground to another entails adjustment
of the clod clearer's position.
