DANGER
Direct people out of the implement's danger zone and
particularly away from the swivel range of the implement
sections, the rear frame and the track markers, and the PTO
shaft-driven hydraulic pump.
Instructions to be observed when handling the PTO shaft-driven
hydraulic pump:

Before switching on the PTO shaft, read and follow the safety
instructions for PTO shaft operation in the section "Safety
information for the operator".

Observe the permitted drive speed of the tractor PTO shaft.

For tractors with hydraulically or pneumatically switchable PTO
shafts, the PTO shaft may only be switched on to idle in order to
prevent damage to the hydraulic pump.
When lowering the coulters, pull the implement forward slightly.
Never drive in reverse as soon as the coulters are in the soil. This can
cause the coulters to become clogged.
Slightly raise the coulters before stopping on the field.
1. Unfold the implement sections and the track markers into
working position (see section "Dual-circuit pneumatic service
brake system", Seite 109).
2. Switch on the fan (singling unit) and set the required air pressure
by adjusting the fan speed.
When the "Pre-calibration" function is actuated (see AMATRON
3 operating manual), the holes of the singling drum are sealed
with seed grains. The required air pressure can be built up and
measured.
In event of air pressure deviation, check that all holes are filled
with seed grains. If not, correct the implement settings.
3. Switch on the fan (fertiliser supply) and adjust the speed by
regulating the PTO shaft speed.
4. Start-up
5. Check the required air pressure in the singling unit on the
AMATRON 3.
