Filling from bags
Because the drill has a big hopper, the filling height, when lifting the bags from the ground, is rather
high. For this reason we recommend a working technique where the bags are placed on a trailer
platform. The lifting can then take place horizontally and the back is strained less than the lifting
from the ground. If the drill is equipped with optional equipment including a step the filling is easier,
still. The dimensions of the sieves allow lifting of several bags simultaneously onto the sieve side by
side.
Filling from a big bag
Big bags weighing several hundreds of kilos can be lifted either by means of loaders or with hoists
designed especially for lifting of big bags. When using the hoist it must be fastened to the three-
point-linkage of the tractor. The drill is then fastened to the hoist. When hoisting from the side the
support legs of the hoist must always be used.
It is forbidden to lower big bags onto the drill.
Never go under a suspended load.
Do not overload the drill. Find out how big bags can be partly emptied. Do not damage the lid of the
machine with swinging bags.
Use of unpacked seed
When you use unpacked seed we recommend the use of a trailer the platform of which lies high
enough for tipping or the use of transport screws.
WARNING!
When using a trailer choose the tipping place carefully in order to prevent
the trailer from falling.
7. EMPTYING THE HOPPER
The hopper can be emptied either through the coulters or by using the calibration troughs. When
emptying the hopper through the coulters place a plastic sheet or similar under the coulters. For
emptying adjust the feeding chambers to the max. feeding capacity.
The seed hopper is emptied by lowering the lever of the bottom valves, behind the machine,
completely beyond the scale (picture 10). Take the remaining seed by hand or with a brush to the
feeding chambers
