Mulch sheet laying procedure
The mulch sheet must be laid on soil which has been
sufficiently crushed and levelled and properly prepared
with a harrow or cultivator.
Do not lay the mulch sheet on ground that is overly
damp.
The version equipped with compacting roller makes the
soil slightly compact and ensures proper mulch sheet
laying.
The version equipped with front support wheels is only
recommended when laying the mulch sheet on carefully
levelled and compacted soils.
To lay the mulch sheet on the ground, proceed as out-
lined below.
1) Position the machine lengthways on the stretch of
ground to cover with the plastic mulch sheet.
2) Unroll the roll (A), following the route of the mulch
sheet, as shown in the figure.
3) Lower the mulch sheet tensioning device (B).
4) Using the tractor's controls, lower the work vehicle to
the ground.
5) With the mulch sheet held on the ground, drive the
work vehicle forwards a few metres.
6) Stop the machine and perform the checks de-
scribed.
- Check that the hoeing shares are properly positioned
(see "Adjusting the hoeing shares").
- Check that the ridging shares are properly positioned
(see "Adjusting the ridging shares").
- Check that the pressure wheels are properly posi-
tioned (see "Adjusting the plastic mulch sheet pres-
sure wheels").

- Check that the mulch sheet idle roller is the right
distance off the ground (see "Adjusting the plastic
mulch sheet idle roller").
- Check that the support wheels - if featured - are
properly positioned (see "Adjusting the front support
wheels").
- Check that the mulch sheet is properly tensioned
when unrolling (see "Adjusting the mulch sheet un-
