9. PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO OPERATION
9.1 Safety
Before using the Overseeder 3D, you should check the following:
1. Are there loose objects in the field? First remove these objects.
2. Are there slopes? The maximum slope is 20 degrees for this machine. Always go from top to
bottom.
3. Are there hard objects in the ground? If so, use the Overseeder 3D at adjusted speed.
4. Is there danger of flying objects (e.g., golf balls) that distract the attention of the driver? If so,
the Overseeder 3D CANNOT be used.
5. Is there danger of sinking / sliding away? If so, postpone the work activities.
6. If the soil is frozen or very wet, postpone the activities until conditions improve.
7. Check whether the hopper is not too damp. Dampness can cause the seeds to stick to each
other and this leads to a poor result.
8. Do NOT make sharp curves when the Overseeder 3D touches the ground.
9.2 Working speed
The maximum safe working speed of the machine is approx. 12 km/h (7.5 mph). However, the user should
check which speed is optimal to achieve the required result per individual situation and soil treatment.
9.3 General remarks for using the Overseeder 3D
−
A field can be treated two or three times in different directions in order to obtain a
higher sowing density.
−
Do NOT make sharp curves and preferably drive in straight lines to prevent damage to
the machine and the ground.
−
If a hard object in the ground is hit, the knives can get damaged. In that case, try to file
the burrs or replace the knives.
−
If the knives get damp, seeds can stick to each other and accumulate between the
knives.
−
Try to make sure that the knives do not get damp or postpone sowing until the
conditions are better.
−
NEVER drive in reverse when the machine stands on the ground.
9.4 Start / stop procedure
Before starting to sow, check the following points:
!! Make sure that the machine and the tractor cannot move while you are detaching
them !!
!! Switch off the tractor engine before detaching the machine !!
−
Check the knives for damage and repair them, if necessary.
−
Check whether the passageway to the sowing elements is not blocked (funnels,
sowing pipes, etc.).
−
Check whether the machine is not wet or damp, predominantly in the sowing system.
−
Check the ‘image’ of the sowing by rotating the runner once (counter-clockwise).
−
Check whether the drive runs smoothly.
