Nipples requiring lubrication by a lubricant press every 50 hours are located in the following
places:
Coulter:
-coulter arm upper ends
-supporting front wheel arm closing pin
-working depth notch adjuster
-coulter sledge parallelogram upper ends
Running gear:
-frame tube
-cylinder joints
-intermediate wheel joints
Ground-wheel:
-reservoir sleeve
Power transmission: -fertilizer shaft drive gear
Lifting cylinder joints
Marker joints
NOTE: See the end of this manual APPENDIX 2: Lubrication chart.
Please check the intervals the tightness of all screw connections every 100 hours of use. On a
new machine the aforementioned check must be carried out twice every 25 hours of use and
after this every 100 hours.
In each end of the machine there are two screws M24 (key 36), with which the coulter sledge
endplay is axially tightened with clamping pieces. These screws have been equipped with
separate rotation-prevention parts, which need to be removed for the duration of tightening. In
addition, the machine is supplied with pass plates (inner diam. 50 mm) which, if the endplay is
big, such that the inner surface of a clamping piece touches the end plate of the machine
(=backlash
used up), then these can be installed behind the clamping pieces as needed
If it is noticed in the sowing that some coulter hose does not stay in coulter tube, there is often a
fault in the hose upper part and/or orientation of the curvature. Turn the hose and/or funnel from
the top to different position and check the situation.
Notable tips to operate the machine
Some large and light seed types (i.e. some oats) may experience difficulty in flowing through the
screens. In such case remove the screens from the seed tank. Use extreme caution when filling
the tank, so that no large particles get mixed with the seeds and damage feeders.
Always lift up the back-level stairs when driving the machine: Both in sowing operations and
transport drive
Note, that when the machine is moving forward, two separate issues exist: Forward movement,
which defines the accuracy of sowing amounts means the forward movement of ground-wheel
rotating the feeders of the machine: How many rotations does the ground-wheel in question rotate
