1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SEEDER
The pneumatic vegetable planting unit is the result of the
GASPARDO experience in precision planting. The rational and
modular structure of its components make it a multi-purpose
machine, for specialized use either in the vegetable or sugar
beet sectors. It is available in various models, with a rigid frame
or with a folding hydraulic frame, in order to obtain a minimum
row distance that goes between 13 cm for the R planting unit.
The seeding element on different models may also be modified
in various ways, using the appropriate fitting kits, guaranteeing
the best solution for every specific need.
This agricultural equipment can only operate by means of a
Cardan shaft applied to the power take-off of an agricultural tractor
equipped with a lifting unit, with a three-point universal joint.
The seeding machine is pneumatically operated and may be
equipped with various accessories, such as, for example, a
fertilizer distributor, a microgranulator and additional seeding
elements.
There are, moreover, various types of electronic instruments for
seeding control and for the calculating the area seeded (Ha).
The seeder is suitable exclusively for seeding in the ground.
The recommended working speed is 3÷5 km/h. The planting
unit must only be transported by road with the tanks and
hoppers empty and at max speed of 25 km/h. Any use other
than that described in these instructions could damage the
machine and be extremely dangerous for the user.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate
maintenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to
observe scrupulously what is described in order to prevent any
inconveniences that could prejudicate proper operation and
duration. All the information required for using the machine in the
best way and instructions and advice for its correct maintenance
are also supplied. It is just as important to keep to what is
described in this booklet since the Manufacturer declines all
responsibility due to negligence and non-observance of these
rules.
At any rate the Manufacturer is available to assure immediate
and accurate technical assistance and all that may be necessary
for the improved operation and better performance of the
equipment.
