3.0 RULES OF USE

To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully follow
what is set out below.
ATTENTION
The following maintenance, adjustment, and work preparation
operations must be performed with the tractor off and locked
fi rmly in position with the key removed from the dashboard
and the seeder positioned on the ground.

3.1 ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR

The seeder may be attached to any tractor fi tted out with a three-
point universal hitch.

3.1.1 HOOKING

Hitching the planting unit to the equipment is a very dange-
rous operation. Be very careful in following the instructions
for the whole operation.
It should be carried out on a fi rm, horizontal surface with the plan-
ting unit placed on its support props. The correct tractor/seeder
position, is determined by placing the equipment at a distance from
the tractor so that the Cardan joint remains extended by 5-10 cm
from its maximum closing position.
At this point, proceed as follows:
1) Hook the lifter bars onto the pins provided (1, Fig. 7) Block with
the snap split pins. Hook the chains to the lifting bars
2) Connect the third upper point (2, Fig. 7); the pin will be blocked
with the appropriate split pin; use the adjusting tierod (3, Fig.
8) to keep the seeder perpendicular to the ground (Fig. 8)
3) Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor on the hori-
zontal plane using the stabilizers provided, so eliminating the
side swaying of the equipment. Check that the tractor hoisting
arms are positioned at the same height from the ground.
4) Adjust the height of the tractor lifting arms:
a) In the work position, adjust the path of the tractor hoisting
arms to guarantee adequate downward movement of the
planting unit. Otherwise, when hollows are encountered in
the seedbed, seed distribution could be irregular due to the
seed planting unit transmission wheels slipping (planing
effect).
b) in the transporting position, adjust the arms so that the
seeder does not, for any reason whatsoever, come into
contact with the ground.
5) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off Check that the protection turns
freely and fi x it with the special chain.
6) Connect the pipes of the hydraulic system of the side frames
to the tractor's distributors.
7) Check the length of the grain tubes (with the machine comple-
tely hoisted) to avoid bendings and consequently breaking of
the tube, as well as the formation of loops (Fig. 9).
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular.
