5. COMMISSIONING
The issues to take into account before starting the machine
are detailed below:
• Verify that the mechanical components are well greased.
Periodically grease the mechanical components (see sec-
tion 9.4 LUBRICATION AND GREASING POINTS).
• Verify the tyre pressure (see section 9.5 TYRE PRESSURE).
• Check that the machine’s hydraulic circuit pipes and ho-
ses and the compressed air lines (product transport) are in
good condition.
• Check the cable layout and that the connectors are firmly
coupled.
After coupling the seed driller with the tractor:
• Verify that the machine is correctly attached to the tractor.
• Before starting the machine, get familiar with all its compo-
nents and adjustments.
• Start the machine being empty in order to free the con-
ducts form any condensation of water or possible dirt.
• Adjust the machine and all its components, the type of ter-
rain and the seed.
