Instructions specific to AGRISEM seeders
In addition to the instructions applicable to all machines, the user of an AGRISEM seeder must comply
with the following instructions:
Never climb on the machine elsewhere than on the AGRISEM walkway provided for this
purpose.
Only climb on the machine when it is stopped.
When operations are performed on the AGRISEM seeder or during flow tests, the seeder must be
stationary and a 50 meter safety area must be enforced around it. The hydraulic system must be
depressurised (e.g. turbine stopped) and the rear window of the tractor must be shut, the tractor
switched off and the ignition keys removed.
Ensure that no one is on or near the seeder when the grain is being loaded. The AGRISEM walkway
must only be used when the seeder is stationary.
Always ensure that the entire area corresponding to the size of the seeder is completely clear.
Never stand under the sun wheel when it is in transport position.
When testing the distribution flow, the user must turn the sun wheel with care to avoid any injury.
When the wheel is rotating, no one must be within 50 meters of the machine. No one must put their
fingers into the distribution grooves unless the transmission system is completely stopped.
When changing the transmission gear ratios, ensure the gearing and chain are handled with the
greatest care to avoid any injury. No one must be within 50 meters of the machine. Ensure you do not
put yourself in danger when changing the gearing by avoiding climbing on the beams or disks of the
machine, as this could be dangerous.
Ensure the sun wheel is protected during transport to avoid it hitting anything or injuring anyone.
When starting up the turbine, a safety area must be enforced around the machine due to the risk of
objects or liquids being ejected (e.g. soil, oil, stones, metal, etc.).
When travelling on the public highway, always be very careful and alert. As the rear visibility is
reduced during transport, ensure that the way is clear before reversing the machine (50 meter safety
area).
The user must comply with the highway regulations applicable in his country with regard to the the
front hopper.
If the tractor’s signalling equipment is not sufficient (or not sufficiently visible) ensure you fit your front
hopper with lighting and signalling plates.
When working, a 50 meter safety area must be enforced due to the risk of
objects being ejected.
