5.7 DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Fertilizers and insecticides are distrib-uted by means of special
dosers (Fig. 53) tted under the corre-sponding hoppers.
The fertilizer spreader hopper can be equipped with the SPEEDY
SET that allows the volumetric dosers on each single hopper to
be adjusted with just one operation (1, Fig. 53). Regularly check
that the sliding hatches are aligned.
These MINIMAX dosers can be adjusted by turning the knob (2,
Fig. 53).
Depending on how the dosers are regulated please refer to the
tables below you can determine the quantity of fertilizer and insec-
ticide needed to cover a hectare of land.
Distribution table Kg/Ha:
- FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTOR: page 195
- MICROGRANULATOR: page 196-197
CAUTION: the MINIMAX batcher, adjusted to the 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 rst positions (darkened lines on the table) get in touch with
the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT!!!
If with the pinions (wheel C-D) tted on the planting unit (Fig.
54) it is still not possible to obtain the required quantities of
fertilizer distribution, consult the table to check whether the
gear ratios need to be changed.
- Move the box cover and loosen the chain (1, Fig. 54) using
the chain tensioners (2, Fig. 54);
- Place the chain on the desired gears and align them.
- Retighten the chain by means of the chain tensioners (2, Fig.
54) and close the cover.
HOPPER AND TANK FILLING
Hoppers and tanks can be lled by hand or using a lifter with a
capacity of at least 200 kg, which must be regularly approved by
the relative authorities. Remember that weights of more than 25
kg must either be lifted by more than one operator or the above-
mentioned lifter must be used following the instructions included
in the relative use and maintenance manual.
- All fertilizer spreader tank loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with the planting unit at a standstill, on
the ground, with the frame open, with the hand brake on,
with the motor switched off and the starter key removed
from the control panel. Make sure that chemicals are kept
out of harm's way.
- All operations must be carried out by trained staff wearing
suitable protection (overalls, gloves, boots, masks etc) in a
clean, dust-free environment.
- Do not place any bags of fertilizer or any other object on the
fertilizer distributor container covers to avoid breaking them
or endangering property or persons.
- Load from the outer sides of the machine.
- When lling the seed, fertilizer and insecticide hoppers,
ensure that no foreign bodies (string, paper, etc.) enter them.
- The seeding machine can transport chemical substances.
Do not allow children, people, pets to come near the seeding
machine.
