3.0. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully
follow what is set up below.
ATTENTION
All maintenance work, adjustments and preparation for
operation, must be carried out with the power take-off of the
tractor disconnected, the seeder on the ground on its
supporting feet, the tractor not running, the wheels blocked
and the key turned off.
3.1. ATTACHMENT THE TRACTOR
The seeder may be attached to any tractor fitted out with a
three-point universal joint.
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase. Be
sure to follow the instructions carefully throughout the
operation.
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 (Fig. 7) Block with
the snap split pins.
2) Take it under the upright of the hitching points of the planting
unit (Fig. 8). Raise the lifter until the locking device of the bar
snaps into place.
3) Connect the third upper point (2 Fig. 9); the pin will be blocked
with the appropriate split pin; use the adjusting tierod (1 Fig.
9) to keep the seeder perpendicular to the ground (Fig. 10).
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off. Check that the guard turns
freely and fix it with the chain provided.
