Transport / installation
Higher danger of accident during initial instal-
lation. Please pay attention to the notes in the
corresponding chapters.
Delivery
The drill with implements is normally delivered
completely assembled on a low loader.
If parts or modules had to be disassembled for
transportation purposes, these will be assem-
bled by our distributor or field engineer in situ.
Depending on the design of the low loader the
machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or
needs to lifted off with suitable lifting gear (forklift
truck or crane).
Sufficient load bearing capacity of lifting gear
and lifting tackle must therefore be assured.
Lifting and lashing points are identified by labels.
When using other lifting points pay careful at-
tention to the centre of gravity and the weight
distribution. These points must, in any case, only
be on the frame of the machine.
Machines with DrillManager ME
On machines with the drill control DrillManager
ME the hydraulic function "Lift/Lower" is possible
without any additional installation work.
These machines can be unloaded from the low
loader without having to install the basic equip-
ment beforehand.
The other hydraulic functions like "Folding" or
"Bout markers" can only be operated after the
basic equipment has been installed on the tractor.
Installation
Instruction of the operator and initial installation
of the machine will be carried out by our service
engineers or distributors.
Using the machine before the instruc-
tion session is not permitted!
The machine can only be released for opera-
tion after the instruction session conducted by
our service engineer / distributor and after the
operating instructions have been read.
Higher danger of accident during in-
stallation and maintenance. Before
performing any installation and mainte-
nance work make yourself familiar with
the machine and read the operating
instructions.
Depending on scope of equipment
¾
Take loosely delivered parts off the machine.
¾
Remove all parts from the seed hopper!
¾
Check all important screw connections!
¾
Lubricate all grease nipples!
¾
Check air pressure in tyres!
¾
Check all hydraulic connections and hoses
for correct fastening and function.
¾
Immediately rectify any occurring damage or
have it corrected!
The installation of the drill control DrillMan-
ager is described in the "DrillManager ME"
instruction manual.
