Standen ZENO 21, Manual

Page: 12 / 65

Overview
STANDEN ZENO 2-row and 3-row tractor mounted planters are designed to plant
potatoes with extreme gentleness and accuracy in either standard planting or bed
work.
Tractor Suitability
The ZENO planter is suitable for CAT 2 and CAT 3 tractors of 75 Kw (100 bhp)
minimum with open-centre, closed-centre or load-sensing hydraulic systems..
The tractor must be of a suitable size to lift the implement safely. This
may entail the fitting of front weights to counterbalance the machine
when in the raised position.
Attaching the Planter to the Tractor
Reverse the tractor up to the planter and engage the 3-point linkage lower arms on
the bottom lift pins (item 1, fig 1). The arm stabilisers must be set to ensure the
planter runs central to the tractor. Fit the top link in one of the holes (item 2, fig 1) and
adjust to level the planter.
When fitting to the tractor ensure the planter is standing on firm level
ground. The operator should have read and understood the tractor
operators manual prior to attaching the machine and putting into work.
Set the planter valve bank to match the tractor hydraulic system. For closed-centre
and load-sensing systems, turn the screw (item 1, fig 2) clockwise until fully in. For
open-centre systems, turn the screw anti-clockwise until fully out.
Connect the hydraulic pressure hose (red) to the tractor constant supply port.
Connect the hydraulic return hose (blue) to the tractor return port.
Connect the ¼” load sensing hose (if required) to the tractor L/S outlet.
