Test drive
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
Do not transport people or objects on the machine. Riding on the ma-
chine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Make sure the immediate vicinity is clear
Before starting up, folding out the machine, and using it, check the
vicinity of the machine. Make sure the operator has an adequate view
of the work area. Do not begin work until the immediate vicinity is clea-
red of any persons or objects. Any use of the machine without verifi-
cation of the situation around it can lead to accidents.
Adjusting frame
> Lower the machinery to its working position
During work, the machine frame and covers of all seed hoppers must
be parallel to the ground. In most cases, adjustment to soil conditions
is required. Therefore it is necessary to adjust the drive wheels, which
support the frame during seeding work.
No adjustments via the lower links
Never adjust the frame for the seeding work via the depth of the lower
links on the tractor. Severe forms of incorrect sowing can result.
The distance between the frame and the surface of the soil should be
approximately 40 cm.
> Remove the split pin and bolt
> Lift the drive wheel slightly and align it with the desired hole in the
regulation piece
> Insert the pin and secure it with the split pin
Adjustments can differ between the individual drive wheels. For ex-
ample, the drive wheel which runs in the tractor track may need to be
set to a lower position than the other drive wheels.
