- 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 on the ground, neither work
in reverse.
Always lift it when changing direction or reversing.
- Maintain e seeding speed compatible with type and cultivation
of the soil in order to avoid breakages or damage.
- Never lower the seeder when the tractor is not in travel in
order to prevent the clogging or damage of the seed coulters,
even if these are equipped with protections against clogging;
for the same reason, we discourage going into reverse gear
when the seeder 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.
ATTENTION
Keep away from the seed storage tank and refrain from
attempting to open it when the seeder is working or about to
begin working (5 Fig. 3).

USE AND MAINTENANCE
4.0 MAINTENANCE
Here follows a list of various maintenance operations to be carried
out periodically. Lowered operating costs and a longer lasting
seeding machine depend, among others, on the methodical and
constant observation of mese rules.
- The maintenance periods listed in this booklet are only indi-
cative and are for on normal conditions on use, therefore be
varied depending the kind of service, the more or less dusty
surroundings, seasonal factors, etc. For more serious
conditions of service, maintenance will logically be done more
often.
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid
mud, dust and foreign bodies from mixing with the grease,
otherwise they will reduce or even annul the effect of the
lubrication.
- Always keep oils and grease out of reach of children.
- Always read warnings and precautions indicated on the
containers carefully.
- Avoid skin-contact.
- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- Treat the used oils and polluting liquids in conformity with the
laws in force.
4.1 WHEN THE MACHINE lS NEW
- After the first eight hours of work check that all the bolts are still
tight.
4.2 EVERY 20/30 WORKING HOURS
- Check the tightness of the bolts on the seed coulters.
- Grease the screw on the central crank.
- Grease the pins of the row marker discs.
4.3 EVERY 50 WORKING HOURS
- Grease the row marker arm pin.
- Check the oil level in the gearbox and top up to level (Fig. 49,
«1») whenever necessary using the same type of oil (ACER
22) whenever possible.
4.4 EVERY 400 WORKING HOURS
- Change the speed change gear oil completely with ACER 22 -
type oil (2 Kg):
- oil drainage plug, 2 Fig. 49;
- oil filling plug, 3 Fig. 49.
4.5 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
- For lubrication in general, we advise: AGIP ACER 22 OIL or
equivalent, for specification see last cover page.
- For all greasing points we advise: AGIP GR MU EP 2 GREASE or
equivalent for specifications see last cover page.
