3.3 Intended use
The pneumatic seeders of types PS 120 to PS 500 serve to spread seed with different properties and grain sizes on open fields.
The implements are designed solely for normal use in agricultural operations. Only
cereal varieties that are intended by the manufacturer and listed in the operating manual may be used. Different seeding shafts are designed for the different cereal varieties, which must be used and replaced if necessary. A special version of the seed drill
protected against corrosion can also be used for spreading fertiliser with a seeding
shaft designed for this purpose (intended use).
Any other use is considered to be non-intended. The manufacturer is not liable for
any resulting damage, the operator alone bears the associated risk.
Intended use also includes compliance with the conditions for operation, maintenance, and repairs prescribed by the manufacturer.
The applicable accident prevention regulations as well as the other general safety-related and occupational health regulations must also be observed.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifications and the use of components and auxiliary parts.
3.4 Personnel requirements
The implement may only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who have relevant experience and were instructed on the risks. The safety instructions must also
be handed over to other users.

5 Operation
In this section, you will learn how to properly configure the seed drill and the seed
flow rate, and how to adjust it during operation.
5.1 Setting the hydraulic fan (HF)
Purpose
The hydraulic fan produces an air current that carries the seed through the hoses to
the dispersion plates.
The required air pressure and air quantity depend strongly on the seed (type and
weight), the spread rate, working width and speed. For this reason, it is not possible
to give precise specifications for the correct fan settings, it must be determined in field
trials! Reference values for the fan setting can be found in the setting table for the
flow control valve.
Requirements
The following requirement must be fulfilled for this work step:
• The hydraulic fan is connected, see also Connecting the hydraulic fan (HF) On
page 25.

10 Appendix
10.1 My idea
The PS 120/200/300 M1 (D/MG) / PS 500 M2 (D/MG) were extensively developed
and tested. It took a long time from the initial idea to serial production. It required lots
of commitment from the entire development team.
Nonetheless, the most valuable experience is gained in practice. Our motto:
"Inspired by Farmers & realized by Professionals."
This is how customer proximity of the development department creates a leading
edge for you and APV.
Tell us about the positive and negative experiences you have had with the implement.
Share your suggestions for improvement and your ideas with us:
Take pictures or make hand-drawn sketches! We are open and grateful for any information, no matter in what form.
Your information goes directly to the leading developers at APV.
I would like to thank you in advance for your involvement and wish you lots of fun with
your APV product!
Sincerely yours
Your Head of Development & Customer Service
