4.0 RULES OF USE

To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully follow
what is set up below.
ATTENTION
All maintenance work, adjustments and preparation for opera-
tion, 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.
4.1 ATTACHMENT THE TRACTOR
The seeder may be attached to any tractor fi tted 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.

4.1.1 HOOKING

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. 8); 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) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe (Fig. 9).
6) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off (Fig. 10). Check that the guard
turns freely and fi x it with the chain provided.
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular.
ATTENTION: Always follow the indications recommended by
the Manufacturer for the transport of the seeder.
