you follow the instructions in this manual, your machine will serve you impeccably and for a long 
time to come. 

It is very important to become acquainted with these instructions well before the start of the 
machine's operating season.  Keep the manual in safe place and easily accessible. The spare part 
number of the User Manual is marked in the cover. Make a note of this number so you can order a 
new similar manual if required.

questions related to the use and maintenance of the machine.  

Remarks regarding the Operating Instructions 

 

Because this publication is distributed in an international sales network, the machinery shown in the 
illustrations (as well as the standard equipment and accessories) can vary in different countries. In 
different countries the statutory and otherwise important covers have been opened or removed in 
some illustrations, in order to present a clearer view of the object.  It is not permitted to use the 
machine without covers. For your own safety, make sure that all covers are in good condition or 
installed in place before commencing operations. 

In this manual, the terms "left" and "right" in relation to the machine refer to the machine sides seen 
from behind towards the direction of travel.  

Tume-Agri Oy continuously develops its products and reserves a right to make changes and 
improvements without advance notification and without  commitment to carry out changes 
retrospectively to already sold products. 

 

2.  GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

  

 

 

 

 

All persons using, maintaining or otherwise handling the TUME seed and fertilizer drill  must become

the instructions in the manual! 

Leave the demanding repairs to an authorized known repair shop. 

Use only original Tume spare parts and do not make alterations to the machine's structure without the 
manufacturer's permission. 

Working or staying under an unsupported machine relying on hydraulics is strictly prohibited. Lower
