Operating Instructions
- Bring the seed drill into a horizontal position with little lower link
play (use the upper link to bring the upper edge of hopper into a
horizontal position)
- For operation, set the tractor hydraulics to „floating position“:
Lifting hydraulics (or seed drill lift) and row markers,
- ensure the seed drill is raised high enough on headland
- To prevent the coulter from clogging, lower the seed drill while
driving away (not in a standing position).
- to avoid blade clogging
- Adjust the driving speed to suit the conditions to ensure that the
seed is placed at a consistent depth. (Solo operation at approx.
12 km/h in favourable conditions).
- Check all settings such as the calibration test: batching, shutters,
gate, transmission setting (fold up emptying trays and lock in
position)
- While beginning to sow – and then at regular intervals – ensure
that all coulters are sowing (no clogging) and that the seed rate
is correct.
- Seed dressing residue may hinder the seed flow. It is therefore
useful to perform another test calibration after approx. 2 hopper
loads.
- No liability will be accepted for deviations in seed quantity or
damages resulting from clogging.
- Give the spur wheel enough pressure on the ground – spring
tension
- Please ensure that the row marker settings and the tramline
rhythm, including sowing roller stop, are correct.
- Gap between lower edge of share plate and ground approx.
44cm.
- Never fill the hopper unless it has been hitched and always empty
before unhitching.
- When filling, ensure that no foreign materials (bits of paper, sack
tags) enter the hopper.
- Close the hopper lid.
- Observe the seed level using the level indicator and ensure even
distribution.
- For operation, fold up the collapsible tread step on the loading
platform.
- Given the hygroscopic nature of the seed (including dressing),
always empty the hopper when not in use for long periods.
Please note that seed dressings are irritants and may
be poisonous!
