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
firmly 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 fitted out with a three-
point universal hitch.
3.1.1 HOOKING
Hitching the planting unit to the equipment is a very dangerous
operation. Be very careful in following the instructions for the
whole operation.
It should be carried out on a firm, horizontal surface with the
planting 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
horizontal 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 fix 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
completely hoisted) to avoid bendings and consequently
breaking of the tube, as well as the formation of loops (Fig. 9).
