1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SEEDER
This agricultural equipment, called “SP Pneumatic Seeder”, 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 equipment is ‘particularly suitable for precision seeding, for
multi-purpose use and on any kind of tilled land . The seeding
machine is pneumatically operated and may be equipped with
various accessories, such as, for example, a manure spreader,
granulate distribution, and additional seeding elements.
The fundamental concept of the “modularity” has been developed
and combined with that of “simplicity”, not only for structure but
also for practicality of use.
CAUTION
The seeder is suitable exclusively for seeding in the ground.
The recommended working speed is 6-8 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 other use
different from that described in these instructions could cau-
se damage to the machine and represent a serious hazard 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.
