horsch Pronto 3 - 6 DC, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 66 / 129

Hopper
The hopper can be designed as single hopper
for seed or a twin hopper for seed and fertiliser.
Platform
With the Pronto 6 DC with twin hopper ladder
and platform are retracted and extended hy-
draulically.
The platform is folded down. The ladder and
lighting carrier are swivelled to the centre of the
machine.
WARNING
Risk of accident through hydraulic folding of the
platform.
¾
Instruct persons to leave the danger zone.
Make sure before movements of the machine
that no persons are about on the platform.
¾
Secure control units against unintentional
actuation.
Ladder/platform Pronto 6 DC twin hopper
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the machine.
¾
When folding the machine monitor the auto-
matic folding of the platform before the wings
fold. Stop all hydraulic movements if there is
a risk of collision.
Single hopper
The single hopper is closed with a covering.
¾
Always keep the covering closed to protect
the seed against contamination, dust and
moisture.
In case of extreme development of dust, this
dust can deposit in the hopper and fill up the
roller flutes. This causes metering faults and
unnecessary wear on the metering unit.
Twin hopper
Various options for sowing are available with
the twin hoppers:
•
Same type of fruit in both hoppers.
•
The Grain & Fertilizer ( G & F ) system is used to
place seed together via the TurboDisc coulter.
•
The Precision Placement of Fertilizer ( PPF ) system
is used to place the fertiliser via the fertiliser
coulter mounted behind the DiscSystem and
the seed via the TurboDisc coulter.
The hopper ratio is 40 : (front : rear).
It is designed as pressurized hopper and must
always be closed and tightly sealed during
drilling.
Leaks with a loss of air will cause drilling faults.
The placing quantity will drop, possibly all the
way down to zero.
¾
Check the hoppers for leak tightness after
each opening and after extended idle times
while the fan is running.
Switch on the fan and feel with your hands
around the lid or listen for escaping air.
¾
In case of leaks replace the seals or readjust
hinges and locks.
¾
Open the hoppers only after the internal pres-
sure in the hopper has been relieved.
If twin hoppers are used to transport fertiliser
over longer or bumpy distances, the fertiliser
may solidify inside the hopper.
This may cause heavy starting of the metering
unit coupled with the risk of seed bridging in
the hopper.
¾
Restore the pouring capability of the fertiliser
in this case before placing.
