3.11 BEFORE STARTING WORK
Before starting the seeding operation grease all parts indicated
by transfer nr. 16 ('GRASE') Fig. 4 at page 43 of this leaflet.
IMPORTANT
Before operating the equipment, carefully check that the
various working parts (hopper, doser, distributor, seed delivery
tubes, coulters, blower and its tubes) are in perfect condition
and free of foreign bodies.
3.12 OPERATION START
Remove the safety pins and lift the planting unit so that it
completely clears the ground before handling the side frames
(Fig. 49).
In the presence of dampness, make the fan idle for a few minutes
to dry the pipes.
Hopper and tank filling
Hoppers and tanks can be filled by hand or using a lifter with a
capacity of at least 200 kg, which must be regularly approved by
the relative authorities. Remember that weights of more than 25
kg must either be lifted by more than one operator or the
abovementioned lifter must be used following the instructions
included in the relative use and maintenance manual.
- All fertilizer spreader tank loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with the planting unit at a standstill, on
the ground, with the frame open, with the hand brake on, with
the motor switched off and the starter key removed from the
control panel. Make sure that chemicals are kept out of
harm's way.
- All operations must be carried out by trained staff wearing
suitable protection (overalls, gloves, boots, masks etc) in a
clean, dust-free environment.
Overalls
Gloves
- Load from the outer sides of the machine.
- When filling the seed, fertilizer and insecticide hoppers,
ensure that no foreign bodies (string, paper, etc.) enter them.
- The seeding machine can transport chemical substances.Do
not allow children, people, pets to come near the seeding
machine.
IMPORTANT
For a successful seeding work it is useful to seed on a small
stretch and check that the seeds are regularly distributed in the
ground.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
3.13 DURING WORK
Bear in mind that a variation in tractor speed does not lead to a
corresponding variation in seed sown per hectare.
Always respect the following rules for successful sowing:
- Keep the hydraulic lifting device in the lowest position.
- During the seeding operation, always maintain the number
of rotations for the requested power take-off.
- Check at times that the operating parts are not covered with
vegetable residual matter or clogged by earth
- Check that the distributor is clean, and prevent any external
matter (no seed) accidentally fallen into the hopper from
hampering the smooth seeding operation.
- Check in any case that the grain tubes are not clogged
- Maintain a seeding speed compatible with type and cultivation
of the soil
- Periodically check the results of seeding.
- The form dimensions and material of the drive shaft elastic
pins have been chosen for safety. The use of pins not original
or more resistant, could cause serious damage to the seeding
machine.
- Avoid curves with the machine grounded, neither work in
reverse.
Always lift it when changing direction or reversing.
- Start the power take-off progressively; sudden movements
are harmful to the belt.
- Maintain a seeding speed compatible with type and cultivation
of the soil in order to avoid breakages or damage.
- Lower the seed drill when the tractor is in forward gear, to
avoid clogging or damage to the planter shoes; for the same
reason the tractor should not reverse when the seed drill is
on the ground.
- Make sure that no foreign material (rope, sack paper) enters
the storage tank when seed is being loaded.
The seeder can transport treated chemical substances
together with the seed. Do not allow children, people, pets to
come near the seeding machine.
Keep away from the seed storage tank and refrain from
attempting to open it when the seeder is working or about to
begin working.
