4.7 PREPARATION BEFORE FILLING THE SEED HOPPER
Normally the front seed hopper is used for seed and the rear hopper for fertilizer. It is also
possible to use both hoppers for seed. In that case the position of a flap must be changed so
that the hopper that normally feeds out fertilizer will now feed out seed to the seed distributor
head. Note that this also requires the LOUP III monitor to be reprogrammed.
CHECK BEFORE FILLING:
1. That the machine is empty, clean and dry.
2. That the level guards are adjusted correctly; REFER TO “4.7.1 SETTING THE LEVEL GUARDS”.
3. Which rotor and gear are best suited, SEE “11.0 SEEDING TABLE” ON PAGES 123 & 124
and
then make the settings in accordance with “4.11 REPLACEMENT” ON PAGE 40 AND “4.12
GEARING UP AND DOWN” ON PAGE 42.
4. That the emptying hatches are closed, SEE “4.10 OPENING THE EMPTYING
HATCH/EMPTYING THE SEED BOX ON PAGE 39.
4.7.1 SETTING THE LEVEL GUARDS
The heights of the level guards can be adjusted. The sensors (A) can be moved to different
cutouts in their brackets.
1. The 6 upper positions are used for corn seed.
2. The lower position is used for oilseed and other small size seeds.
