Cultivation tools
Depth setting
The depth setting must be matched to the soil
conditions and can thus only be found in the field
using operating position.
The harder the ground and the deeper the culti-
vation tools need to work, the higher the required
preload of the rubber elements.
The depth of the pre-work tools is set by it's own
control unit.
The working depth is indicated by an indicator
on the front of the hopper.
When lifting the machine the pre-tools remain
at the adjusted working depth.
The desired working depth can be adjusted and
changed during work.

Work instructions
Working speed
The Pronto AS seed drill is suitable for high
working speeds.
The speed depends on field conditions, soil
type, harvest residues, seed, seed quantity and
other factors.
Operate somewhat slower under dif-
ficult conditions.
Turning
When turning only reduce the tractor engine
speed just before raising the drill, so that the
fan output does not drop too much and causes
the hoses to block.
Raise the machine for transport.
After turning on the headland position the
machine approx. 2 to 5 m in front of the seed
bed with the appropriate fan speed. The seed
requires some time to flow from the metering
unit to the coulters.
The working switch only releases the signal after
the machine has been lowered completely.
After sowing
Seed hopper and metering unit should be emp-
tied and cleaned after sowing.
Seed and dressing could become moist over-
night and clog.
This could result in seed bridging in the seed
hopper and sticking to the flutes of the roller.
Metering and seed errors could occur.
The seed hopper can be emptied through the
clearing valve on the side. For this purpose
place a suitable container under the clearing
valve and , depending on the design, open the
flap or the slide.
Residues can be emptied through the Venturi
area.
