AREA METER
The area meters of the TUME-drills are equipped with large figures and they are placed so that the
tractor driver can easily read the meter during work (picture 26). When you know the area that can
be sown with full hopper you can easily calculate the right filling time by adding to the area reading
of the last filling the area to be sown.
The four figures on the left show hectares, the fifth indicates tenths of hectares, the sixth hundredths
of hectares etc. The meter can be put on the 0 position by turning the meter knop at the end of the
meter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Do not lower the machine on the ground when it is not moving. Never reverse with the
coulters in the ground.
-
On even ground the machine should be working in a horizontal position. The easiest way
to check this is to control that the lid of the machine is in horizontal position.
-
If the machine is working inclined forward the upper link of the tractor should be
lengthened. If the machine is working inclined backward the upper link should be
shortened. Check also that, when controlling the working position, the machine does not
rest on the lower links.
-
Check the sowing depth after having driven a short distance.
-
Check the adjustment of the markers by controlling the seam line of the sowing, too.
-
Lift and lower the drill only when it is moving. Never reverse with the coulters on the
ground.
-
Check from time to time the condition of all seed tubes. Remove possible clogs.
-
Check from time to time that the coulters are not clogged.
