SAFETY
Before commissioning the seed drill, you should carefully read this operating manual and the safety instructions (”For your safety”) – and observe
them; you should also read the instructions for a soil finishing tool.
The operating person should be qualified in safety requirements and be instructed about the dangers by the instruction for use and maintenance.
Please pass on all safety instructions to other users.
The relevant safety regulations and the other generally recognised technical safety, health care and traffic regulations are to be observed.
Beware of the ”warning” signs!
Instructions in this manual with this sign and warning graphical symbol on the tool warn of danger!
(for explanations of the warning graphical symbol see appendix ”pictogram symbols”)
Loss of guarantee
The drill has been manufactured exclusively for usual agricultural uses. Any other use is considered as not in accordance with the requirements
of the law and the manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from this use .
Observing the prescribed operating, maintenance and upkeep conditions is considered use in accordance with the requirements of the law as
is the exclusive use of original spare parts.
By using external equipment and/or external parts (high-usage/wear and tear spare parts and other spare parts) which are not allowed by the
Poettinger manufacturer any guarantee is cancelled.
Unauthorised repairs or changes to the device and failure to monitor use (that all blades sow) exclude any liability for any damage which arises
from this.

Safety Instructions
Before coupling and uncoupling, set the tractor’s hydraulic unit to „position control“!
When coupling and uncoupling, do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the machine; also stay clear of the tractor
and machine when the external hydraulic console is in use. Risk of injury!
Ensure that when lifted, the seed drill (with its row markers folded in) does not come into contact with other objects – e.g. with
a rear-hinged window!
Ensure that there is sufficient space to manoeuvre (when the hopper is full), and attach a suitable weight to the front of the
tractor.
Before operation, ensure that the tractor and machine are both in safe operating condition and that the relevant guards have
been attached.
The operator is responsible for safety.
Do not transport the machine with a full hopper!
Never allow anyone to climb onto or to ride on the machine (or loading platform), and keep clear of danger zones (swivel
area)!
Before leaving the tractor, lower the machine, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Always lower the machine prior to performing adjustments or repairs.
Do not reach into the hopper or place objects into it when empty. The agitator (if installed) may turn if the machine is pushed
(when the spur wheel is turned) with transmission in > „0“ position. Danger of injury or damage to machine!
When filling the hopper with treated seed and cleaning with compressed air, please note that seed dressing is toxic and irritant.
Wear appropriate protective clothing!
Ensure that no one is near the machine before operating or towing.
On steep slopes, allowances are to be made for the centre of gravity of the purchased combination.
Before using the machine for the first time – and after long downtimes – check the oil level in the transmission and that all bearings
are adequately greased. Check that all screws are tightened, and that there is no leakage in the hydraulic unit.
