•
Check if the machine is not wet or moist, in particular the seeding device.
•
Check the seed spreading by rotating the running wheel 1 time

START SEEDING.
The starting procedure is VERY important. If this procedure is not followed exactly as
described below, serious damage may occur to the machine. The procedure is as follows:
1. Put the seed in the seed hopper.
2. Set the required seed quantity.
While adjusting, the machine/tractor combination must be fully locked to
prevent it from driving/sliding/sinking away. The tractor engine must be
switched off.
3. Drive to the place where you want to start.
4. While driving lower the machine carefully and in a controlled way until the spiked
rollers are making holes in the ground.
5.
Increase the speed until the correct driving speed has been reached.
The driving speed while operating is limited to 12 km/h (7.5 mph). Higher
speeds are not recommended and will result in excessive wear and damage to
the machine.
STOP SEEDING
1. Lower the speed.
2. While driving, raise the machine out of the ground.
3. Go to the following place and start again as described.
