protective plant or grass seeds, or equivalent. The same device can also be used to

Machine commissioning
Machine connection to tractor
TUME KL drills are equipped with a quick coupling draw bar, Fig 1. The connection of
the tractor to drill have to do in the following order: First the draw bar must be connected
to tractor. Next the down locking pins need to be taken out from the front frame of the
machine. Then the tractor must be reversed carefully to drill so that hooking the draw
bar to the down gaps of the front frame can be executed. When connecting the drill, lift
the lower links (draw bar) very carefully and only so much that connecting the locking
pins of the front frame is possible. Don’t lift the machine!

WARNING!
When using a three point linkage connection, special attention
must be paid to tractor front end weighting in order to maintain
controllability. Ensure that the steering front axle bears at
least 20% of the tractor’s mass (use additional weights), and
that the tractor’s right and left side brakes are interconnected.
After connecting the lower links to drill, the third point ( = top point ) of the tractor needs
to be attached to the drill. The side limitators of the tractor ( lower links ) have to be
locked so that the machine can’t move sideward too much.
