Use of the Hydraulically Driven Fan
1. Wait until the fan has reached its working speed before starting to drill.
2.
The maximum fan speed is 3500 rpm. Beyond this speed damage is
probable.
3.
By using the flow control valve it is possible to adjust the fan speed
and therefor the air flow from the fan according to the type of seed
being used.
Rape & Small Seeds. 1800 -2000 Rpm.
Wheat & Barley, in dry soil 2000 - 2200 Rpm
Peas & Beans 2200 - 2800 Rpm.
This is only a guide
Be aware to set the fan speed accordingly to avoid blowing the seed
back out of the soil, (especially in dry conditions).
4.
Check the fan speed by using the multifunction control box.
Fan Speed
Before setting fan speed, run system at half throttle to warm oil and gradually
increase to full throttle. On cold mornings it may take 15 minutes before target
fan speed is reached.
Golden Rules
Read instruction manual fully before operation .
Each time the drill is refilled check for blocked coulters, this will
minimise the risk of any miss drilling ,
Note: Under no circumstances should the drill be reversed with the
coulters in the ground ,
Always Dis – engage mechanical transport locks before folding ,
In wetter conditions, firm seed beds, which have hazed on top, and
plenty of forward speed, will keep the Uni – Drill going when lesser drill
have stopped.
