Loosen the fastening screw on the gear adjuster (Fig. 41)...

... and bring the graded indicator to the required position
(depending on the quantity of product to be distributed), by rotating
the adjuster knob (Fig. 42).
The distribution table is also affixed to the machine and from this
table it is always possible to calculate approximate seed
distribution quantities. It is, however, always necessary to carry
out a distributor test!

The distribution quantities marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be
distributed at operating speeds superior to 8 km/h! In this case,
the speed must be reduced in certain circumstances, as the
maximum capacity of the pneumatic system is reached. If the
maximum capacity is exceeded, dosing roller feed closure gets
"clogged up" with soil and the air flow drops. Check carefully that
the correct roller for the doser has been installed! When fertilizer
is being used, always use the standard wheel and delivery levels
equivalent to 1l/rev. (red, mod. G1000 or G1002).
Once the distributor test has been successfully performed, secure
the fastening screw of the gear adjuster once more (Fig. 43).

WARNING: Do not use tools to tighten the knob. Do not tighten
too much. A slight "clamping effect" of the brake is sufficient.
In order to perform the actual distributor test itself, insert the
sowing test handle in the gearbox and rotate it in a
counterclockwise (Fig. 44), as shown on the sticker: 80
revolutions of the handle correspond to a 1/10 of a hectare.
Next check, using precision scales, the quantity of product
collected and multiply this by ten in order to obtain the quantity
distributed (in kg./ha). Make any necessary adjustments. Start up
the machine, performing the above mentioned steps in reverse
order.
