DIRECTIVE PROVISIONS
OPERATORS MANUAL - HYBRID MOUNTED
This Claydon Hybrid Mounted Seed Drill conforms to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (see Appendix B –
Declaration of Conformity at the rear of the manual).
AIRBORNE NOISE EMISSIONS
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level of measurements taken directly at the fan is 94dBA.
WARNING AND CAUTION
These warnings and cautions must be observed when operating the Hybrid Mounted Seed Drill.
• Ensure total weight of tractor/drill combination does not exceed permitted limits and weight of
tractor is sufficient for safe field and road use.
• Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and drill during coupling/uncoupling procedures.
• For maintenance/adjustment of the drill ensure that it is lowered to the ground.
• Seed dressing is highly poisonous so protective measures-gloves, goggles, facemask must be used
while loading the hopper and cleaning the machine after use with compressed air.
• The hydraulic system on the machine operates under high pressure. Pressurised hydraulic oil is
dangerous so connecting/disconnecting the drill must only be undertaken with the tractor engine
turned off and the pressure in the hoses released.
• Before operating the machine ensure no-one is standing within range of its turning circle-including
the marker arms.
• The Tungsten points on the leading tines should be protected by parking the drill on wooden boards.
