Please also note the following regarding the Epec seeding electronics
Study carefully the Epec seeding electronics in this manual before you start using the machine.
Make sure that all users of Draco seed drill or others who deal with the machine familiarize themselves
with the instruction booklet and the system so well that safety risks are minimized.
Do not allow outsiders to deal with the Epec system. Take special care that outsiders or those travelling
in the tractor's cabin do not touch the control unit inside the cabin when you yourself are within the
machine's danger zone.
Special caution must be taken when starting to use the system. Practice its use in a place where you
don't endanger your safety or that of others'. Ensure enough free space for row markers' movements,
for example.
When practicing, go through all machine's functions. Practice especially making smooth adjustments
during the drive.
The system controls varied amounts of hydraulic functions. Never go under a machine lifted and
supported by hydraulics, or under markers etc. If you must go under such a structure, it must be first
supported reliably with mechanical supports!
Note that control commands for hydraulic or electronic functions given from the cabin's monitor may
cause sudden movements in the seed drill's structures. Make sure that there are no people or easily
damaged property in the danger zone. When row marker function is switched on, for example, both
markers, (right and left) are lowered down: Possible risk!
When you park the tractor and the machine, for which the system is installed, lock the tractor so that
outsiders cannot use the system or change its settings. When parking, you must also follow all those
safety guidelines which have been given to the seed drill and fertilizer or the seed drill.
Always keep the control system's conductors, connectors and other structures in impeccable
condition. If damages or malfunctioning are found, the problems must be solved and rectified at once.
Damaged equipment can function in an unexpected way and cause a hazard!
Use authorized Tume services or their authorized sub-contractor for making repairs and updating the
programs. Use also original Tume spare parts.
Do not make changes to the control system or its programs without a written permission from Tume-
Agri Oy for these changes.
WARNING!
Especially great care must be taken when Draco 4000 machine is turned from working position to
transport position and vice versa. This is instructed in sections 11.2 and 11.3.
The reason is that this type of turning requires plenty of free space around the machine, on both sides
as well as above and below the machine.
WARNING!
Turning the machine from working position to transport position and vice versa must absolutely be
made in the way instructed in the manual and in the right order. If turning is performed in a wrong way,
the machine's structures may be damaged and this causes a great additional risk.
