13.0 - CRATE HOLDERS - HOPPER FOR POTATOES AND TUBERS
The transplanter is equipped with a cr ate holder surf ace (Fig. 11.A) on which the
potato or tuber containers are deposited. On request, a deposit hopper may be
applied (Fig. 11.B), into which the potatoes or tubers can be emptied in bulk.
Hopper capacity is approx. 70-80 Kg per row.
13.1 - Warning : when working with a full load in the hopper, be sure to check
that during the lifting phase, the load on the front axle of the tractor still
guarantees sufficient and constant stability.
14.0 - LAND
You are advised to work on land which has been suitably prepared with harrows or
hoes, at least to the required transplanting depth. It is best not to work on terrain
which is too wet.
Take extreme care during manoeuvres on steeply sloping land.
15.0 - OPERATORS ON BOARD
Pay particular attention to the safety regulations in points 8.11 and 8.12.
16.0 - FUNCTIONS OF THE OPERATOR
Take the tubers out of their containers and place them in the distr ibutor (fig. 11.C).
Do not place tubers in the rear cups of the distributor near the drop tube, as these
are continuously opening and closing. Decide, with the tr actor driver, upon a working
speed which allows sufficient time to perform the above functions properly.
Make constant visual checks of the transplant quality, and in the event of anomalies,
give the STOP signal, so that y ou can chec k the causes and tak e the necessar y
corrective action.
17.0 - FUNCTIONS OF THE TRACTOR DRIVER
Pay particular attention to the safety regulations in points 8.1 to 8.15.
Before starting work decide with the operator(s) on a "start" and "stop" signal.
