It is suitable for sowing cereal: wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice.
For minute and forage seeds: rape, clover, sedge, rye-grass.
For coarse seeds: soya, peas.
The seeds are placed in the ground by burying devices and distributed continuously.
The quantities to distribute are set through a seed distributor, the
motin of which derives from the crawler wheel through traction.
The arms of the furrowing tools, independent of each other, dispose of a wide margin of oscillation to adapt to the surface of
the ground.
ATTENTION
The seeder is suitable only for the uses indicated. The recommended working speed is 8-10 km/h. The planting unit must
only be transported by road with the tanks and hoppers empty
and at max speed of 25 km/h. Any other use different from that
described in these instructions could cause damage to the
machine and represent a serious hazard for the user.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate
maintenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to observe
scrupulously what is described in order to prevent any inconveniences that could prejudicate proper operation and duration. It is
just as important to keep to what is described in this booklet since

Tractor hitch
1) Hook the equipment to a suitable, suffi ciently-powered tractor
by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in conformity with
applicable standards.
2) The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the same
as that of the lifter attachment.
3) T ake care when working within the range of the lifting arms as
this is a very dangerous area.
4) Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the equipment.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and linkage for manoeuvring the lifting controls from the outside (Fig.
5).
6) It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space between the
tractor and the equipment (Fig. 5) with the engine running.
It is possible to work between the tractor and the equipment only
after the parking brake has been applied and a suitably sized
blocking wedge or stone has been placed under the wheels.
7) The attaching of additional equipment onto the tractor brings
about a different distribution of weight on the axles. Check the
compatibility of the tractor performance with the weight that the
seeder transfers onto the three-point linkage. If in doubt consult
the tractor Manufacturer.
8) Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the axle, the
total mobile weight, transport regulations and the highway
code.
Transport on Road
1) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
2) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
3) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity
as well as direction and braking capacity can be infl uenced,
sometimes con-siderably, by equipment being either carried or
towed.
4) When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in centrifugal force exerted in a position other than that of the center of
gravity, with and without the equipment in tow . Also pay greater
attention on sloping roads or ground.
5) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains
of the tractor; check that the seed and fertilizer hopper covers
are closed properly; lock the hydraulic lifting control lever.
6) Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
7) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position.
8) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables
for signaling of dimensions.
9) When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried equipment
conceal the tractor’s signalling and lighting devices, these must
also be installed on the equipment itself, in conformity with
regulations of the highway code of the country involved. When
in operation make sure that the lighting system is in perfect
working order.
Cardan shaft
1) The equipment installed can only be controlled by means of
the Cardan shaft complete with the necessary overload safety
devices and guards fastened with the appropriate chain.
2) Only the Cardan shaft supplied by the Manufacturer must be
used.
3) The engine must not be running when installing and removing
the Cardan shaft.
4) Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct assembly
of the Cardan shaft.
5) Use the chain provided to stop the Cardan shaft from rotating.
6) Always check carefully that the Cardan shaft guard is always
in position, both during trans-portation and operation.
7) Frequently and set intervals check the Cardan shaft guard, it
must always be in excellent condition.
8) Before engaging the power take-off, check that the set rpm corresponds to that indicated by the sticker on the equipment.

Safety measures concerning the hydraulics
1) At the moment of connecting the hydraulic tubes to the hydraulic
system of the tractor, make sure that the hydraulic systems of
the operating machine and the tractor are not under pressure.
2) For the operative hydraulic connections between tractor and
operating machine, the sockets and plugs should be marked
with colours to distinguish them, to avoid them being used
wrongly. There would be a danger of accident if the connections
were to be swapped round.
3) The hydraulic system is under high pressure; because of the
accident risk, when searching for leakage points special auxiliary instruments should be used.
4) Not to never carry out the search losses with the fi ngers or the
hands. The liquids that exit from the holes can be nearly not
visible.
5) During transport by road the hydraulic connections between
tractor and operating machine should be disconnected and
secured to the support provided.
6) Do not use vegetable oils under any circumstance. These could
cause a risk of damage to the cylinder gaskets.
7) The operating pressures of the hydraulic system should be
between 100 bars and 180 bars.
8) Never exceed the indicated hydraulic system pressure levels.
9) Check that the quick hook-ups are coupled correctly; parts of
the system could get damaged if they are not.
10) Oil escaping at high pressure can cause skin injury with the
risk of serious wounds and infection. Call a doctor immediately
if such an incident occurs. If the oil with surgical means is not
removed quickly, can take place serious allergies and/or infections. Therefore, the installation of hydraulic components in the
tractor driver’s cab is strictly forbidden. All the components of
the system should be positioned carefully to avoid parts being
damage during use of the equipment.
11) In case of participation on the hydraulic system, to unload
the hydraulic pressure carrying all the hydraulic commandos
in all the positions some times after to have extinguished the
motor.
Table 1
Maintenance in safety
During work and maintenance operations, use suitable personal protection gear:
Overalls Gloves Shoes Goggles Helmets
1) Do not proceed with maintenance and cleaning if the power
take-off has not been disconnected fi rst, the engine power off,
the hand brake pulled and the tractor blocked with a wooden
block or stone of the right size under the wheels.
2) Periodically check that the bolts and nuts are tight, and if necessary tighten them again. For this it would be advisable to
use a torque wrench, respecting the values of 53 Nm for M10
bolts, resistance class 8.8, and 150 Nm for M14 bolts resistance
class 8.8 (Table 1).
3) During assembling, main-tenance, cleaning, fi tting, etc., with
the seeding machine raised, place adequate supports under
the equipment as a precaution.
4) The spare parts must correspond to the manufacturer’s specifi cations. Use only original spares.

3.0 RULES OF USE
T o obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully follow
what is set out below.
ATTENTION
The following maintenance, adjustment, and work preparation
operations must be performed with the tractor off and locked
fi rmly in position with the key removed from the dashboard
and the seeder positioned on the ground.
3.1 ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
The seeder may be attached to any tractor fi tted out with a three-
point universal hitch.
3.1.1 HOOKING
DANGER
Hitching the planting unit to the equipment is a very dangerous operation. Be very careful in following the instructions
for the whole operation.
It should be carried out on a fi rm, horizontal surface with the plan-
ting unit placed on its support props. 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. 7); 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) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off Check that the protection turns
freely and fi x it with the special chain.
6) Connect the pipes of the hydraulic system of the side frames
to the tractor’s distributors.
7) Check the length of the grain tubes (with the machine comple-
tely hoisted) to avoid bendings and consequently breaking of
the tube, as well as the formation of loops (Fig. 9).
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is perpendicular.
ATTENTION
For transportation of the seeder, always follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.

3.1.2 UNHITCHING THE PLANTING UNIT FROM THE
TRACTOR
PERICOLO
Unhooking the seed drill from the tractor is a very dangerous operation. This operation should be carried out with
the tractor engine switched off, the parking brake on and
the equipment resting on the ground. Great caution must be
used and the whole operation must be carried out following
the instructions.
For a correct unhooking operation of the seed drill it is necessary
to proceed on a horizontal level.
1) Lower the supporting base elements
2) Slowly lower the seed drill until it rests completely on the
ground.
3) Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
4) Unhook the Cardan shaft from the tractor and put it on the
special hook.
5) Loosen and unhook the third point, following the fi rst and se-
cond.
3.2 ADAPTING THE CARDAN SHAFT
The Cardan shaft, supplied with the machine, is of standard length. Therefore it might be necessary to adapt the Cardan shaft. In
that case, before doing anything, consult the Manufacturer for the
eventual adaptation.
CAUTION
- When the Cardan shaft is pulled out as much as it can go,
the two pipes must be superimposed for at least 15 cm (A,
Fig. 10). When it is inserted all the way , the minimum play
allowed must be 4 cm (B, Fig. 10).
- When using the equipment on another tractor, check what
has been set out in the previous paragraph and check that
the protections completely cover the rotating parts of the
Cardan shaft.
ATTENTION
As far as the transport of the seeder is concerned, always
follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
3.3 STABILITY OF PLANTING UNIT AND TRACTOR
DURING TRANSPORT
When a planting unit is coupled to a tractor, so becoming an integral
part of it for the purposes of road travel, the stability of the planting
unit-tractor complex may change and cause driving or operating
diffi culties (rearing up or side-slipping of the tractor). The condition
of equilibrium can be restored by placing a suffi cient number of
ballasts on the front of the tractor so that the weights on the two
tractor axles are distributed suffi ciently evenly.
T o work in safety the instructions given in the highway code should
be followed; these prescribe that at least 20% of the weight of
the tractor alone should be borne by the front axle and that the
weight on the arms of the hoist should not be more than 30% of
the weight of the tractor itself. These factors are summarized in
the following formulas:
Z > [M x (s1+s2)]-(0.2 x T x i)
(d+i)
The symbols have the following meanings (please see Fig. 11 for
reference):
M (Kg) Mass weighing on arms off hoist with full load (weight +
mass, see cap. 1.4 Identifi cation).
T (Kg) Mass of tractor.
Z (Kg) Total mass of ballast.
i (m) Tractor wheelbase, that is, the horizontal distance between
the tractor axles.
d (m) Horizontal distance between the centre of gravity of the
ballast and the front axle of the tractor.
s1 (m) Horizontal distance between the inferior point of attach-
ment of the equipment and the posterior axle of the tractor
(equipment supported to the ground).
s2 (m) Horizontal distance between the barycentre of the equip-
ment and the inferior point of attachment of the equipment
(equipment supported to the ground).
The amount of ballast that should be applied according to the
formula is the minimum required for circulation on the road. If for
reasons of tractor performance or to improve the set-up of the
planting unit during operation it is thought necessary to raise these
values, please refer to the registration document of the tractor to
check its limits.
When the formula for calculating the ballast gives a negative result
it will not be necessary to add any weight. In any case, as long as
the limits of the tractor are respected, a suitable quantity of weights
may be applied in order to ensure greater stability during travel.
Check that the tractor tyres are suitable for the load.

3.4 FOLDING FRAME
3.4.1 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONING
The machine frame is designed so that the side ends that hold the
planting elements can be folded using a hydraulic system, thus
reducing the road.
DANGER
When opening and closing of the folding frame, do not under
any circumstances stand close to the machine.
In order to use correctly the toolbar of the planter, operate as
follows:
1) Hook the planting unit to the tractor three-point coupling using
suitably sized pins equipped with the necessary safety devices
(retainer clips, spring pins, etc.).
2) Connect the planting unit hydraulic pipes to the tractor distri-
butors.
3) Before switching the machine on, make sure that there are no
people, children, animals or any object that could get in the
way of the machine, and ensure that there is excellent visibility
in the area of operation.
OPENING
4) Unhook the safety pins on the frame (A, Fig. 12) and place
them in their relative seats (B, Fig. 12).
5) Check that the hydraulic pipes are correctly connected.
6) Actuate the hydraulic system to open the frame, keeping the
planter raised from the ground.
CLOSING
7) Activate the hydraulic system to close the frame, keeping the
planting unit raised off the ground and with the seeders hooked
into the raised position.
8) Hook the frame safety pins into their relative seats (A, Fig.
12).
9) Discharge the pressure in the hydraulic system and disconnect
the hydraulic pipes.
3.4.2 FLOATING FRAME
A fl oating system for the furrower holding frame has been incor-
porated in the planter: in specifi c ground conditions (valleys, hill
planting etc.), this system facilitates even planting of the seedbed,
despite its irregularity.
In these conditions, the support wheels must be fi tted at the ends of
the side frames (Fig. 13). During the normal planter setup procedures, the support wheels have to be adjusted for height, varying the
position of the pin (C, Fig. 13), in order to align the furrower-holding
frames and guarantee an even sowing depth.

3.4 DOSING
3.4.1 DOSER (Fig. 14)
The doser the most important part for seeder operation, is located
underneath the seed hopper.
Motive power is transmitted to it by the drive wheel through
gears (with ratios proportional to the width of the work to be
carried out) and chains.
The Electric Distribution Control can be supplied as an accessory. In that event, for the metering operation and the metering
adjustment, checking and tests, please refer to the relevant User
and Maintenance Booklet.
The volumetric dosing device is essentially composed of four
elements for seeds distribution:
A) aluminium monobloc frame;
B) agitator element;
C) dosing rollers;
D) feeler pin.
MONOBLOC FRAME
The monobloc frame is made of aluminium and offers the following
main advantages:
- realization of very high precision and high quality over time;
- resistance to the effects of UV rays or to the problems of harsh
autside temperatures;
- high resistance to corrosion;
- quick simple maintenance: in a few minutes we can completely
remove the components of the doser without fully unscrewing
the screws, using just one spanner.
AGITATOR ELEMENT
Guarantee of continuous feeding to the dosing rollers.
The agitator can be disabled by simply removing the drive belt. To disable the agitator, lift the round belt above the edge of the drive pulley
(Fig. 15) and, on the opposite side, rotate the dosing roller in the driving
direction. (T o fi t the belt, see chapter on dosing roller).
DOSING ROLLERS
- Large diameter to reduce the number of revolutions and avoid
fertilizer load losses;
- High number of cells arranged in a steggered pattern to guarantee
uninterrupted delivery.
Assembling and disassembling the dosing roller
All the dosing rollers are compact units constructed in a single
block (with the exception of the dosing roller for fi ne seed, yellow
version) and are calibrated after assembly. Never fi t dosing rollers
with screws loosening the handwheel! The radial precision
of the wheels, which are calibrated after assembly, could be
damaged!
WARNING
Always use gloves: after calibration, the new dosing rollers
could have sharp edges that might injure the operator!
There are various types of wheels for a wide range of applications,
in three different product families (Fig. 16):
D) 5 elements, 8 chambers per wheel, (mod. G1000) distribution
of normal seeds (of series).
E) 5 elements, 16 chambers per wheel, (mod. G500) distribution
of normal seeds (optional).
F) 5 elements, 32 chambers per wheel, (fi ne seeds dosing roller)
(mod. F25-125).
IMPORTANT: Use a suitable metering roller with the type of
distributed seeds.

Replacing the DOSING ROLLER
Perform this operation while the dosing chamber is empty:
A) Empty hopper;
B) Hopper with product: use the movable panel (P, Fig. 14) to
exclude feeding from the hopper to the doser. Then empty the
dosing chamber.
1) Remove the belt from the agitator and fully disconnect the
metering roller transmission (Fig. 15).
2) Take out the bearing support of the metering roller (G, Fig.
17);
3) Take the metering roller out sideways (H, Fig. 17) ...
To re-assemble, follow the steps in reverse order.
IMPORTANT: before starting seeding, open the panel (P, Fig.
14) to feed the doser.
FEELER PIN
The feeler unit may also be easily disassembled in a single block in a matter of minutes for cleaning purposes. It consists of 5 single
hatches that are spring-loaded to ensure tight closing. The hatches do not touch the seeding wheel while it is in operation! Thanks to
the separators fi xed between one hatch and the next, it is possible to activate each element independently of the others. Moreover, the
separators are shaped in such as way as to act as a shield against foreign bodies that could damage the dosing roller. The hatches
are adjustable, and their shape has been specifi cally designed to adapt to the seeds.
WARNING
Always use gloves. The new parts especially might have sharp edges that could injure the operator!
1) In order to disassemble the feeler unit, loosen the four nuts of the axles (front and back) (Fig. 18), using a 13 mm spanner.
2) Until it is becomes possible to push out the discs fi tted inside, remove them from their seats (Fig. 19) and move the axles.
3) Remove the back part (Fig. 20) of the feeler pin unit, fi rst, followed by the front part.
When the hatch is disassembled, it is also possible to remove the emptying hatch, by
sliding it out from below.
On completion of cleaning, re-assemble the unit by following the above mentioned steps
in reverse order, taking care to position the fl at parts of the axles correctly! Put the feeler
pin unit in place. Then slide the washers back in their housing and fi nally tighten the nuts
by hand.
Once the hatch has been mounted, the elements must be mobile. To check that they are,
simply push them with your fi ngers (Fig. 21). If they do not move, it is advisable to disas-
semble them and clean them.
During re-assembly, before tightening the various parts, ensure that the rear part
of the hatch (on the spring side) is not too high. Install the dosing roller in order to
ensure that the height is correct.

CLEANING SPRING ELEMENTS
Cleaning spring elements (A, Fig. 22) are used during the distribution of oily seeds by means of the yellow seeding roller, mod.
F25-125.
The main action of these spring elements is keeping the chambers
of the seeding roller clear so that seed distribution is regular and
constant.
The shaft of the cleaning spring elements is positioned outside the
seed dosing chamber.
When other types of seeds are being distributed, disengage the
cleaning spring elements to avoid undesired wear:
… loosen the knob (B, Fig. 22), remove the levers (C) from their
housing and move them in the direction shown by the arrow.
Wear
When the oil layer is thick, spring elements wear out quite quickly
and they are no longer effi cient.
Wear can be easily checked from the outside.
Replacing the spring elements
1) Loosen and remove the knob (B, Fig. 22). Then, move the lever
(C) in the direction shown by the arrow.
2) Extract the seeding roller (Fig. 23) as shown and described
previously (3.5.1).
3) Loosen the M8 nuts (Fig. 24) using the supplied multi-purpose
wrench.
4) Extract the shaft of the spring elements from its housing (Fig.
25).
5) Use the supplied multi-purpose wrench and an Allen wrench
(no. 3) to loosen the fastening screws of the spring elements
as shown in Figure 26.
6) Replace the spring element using genuine spare parts. Then,
assemble the unit back repeating the procedure above in a
reversed sequence.

3.5.2 DISTRIBUTION OF FINE SEEDS
Distribution of quantities lower than 3 kg/ha.
During the dosing test the number of gearbox revolutions is low
because the quantity of product to be distributed is small. This can
result in irregular distribution of the product. If the operator notes
this, he should follow the instructions below.
Considering that every section (A, Fig. 28) of the dosing roller distributes 20% of the product contained in roller itself, the number of
operating sections can be increase and the gearbox rotation speed
to reduce to obtain more homogeneous distribution.
First, take the dosing roller off the machine. Then, unscrew the
knob (B, Fig. 28) using the supplied wrench and remove the lock
nut (C). Extract the section(s) to be activated and put them back in
their positions (1-2-3-4-5, Fig. 28) turning them by 180°.
When re-assembling the sections, make sure that during operation
the dosing grooves of the active sections are staggered from one
another (D, Fig. 28). This will give continuity to distribution.
Re-position the lock nut, tighten the knob using the supplied wrench
and assemble the roller back on the machine.
Block the cleaning element in the operating position and make sure
that the springs hook the previously excluded sections (E, Fig. 28)
preventing their rotation and consequently distribution.
Perform the dosing test following the instructions supplied in
paragraph 3.5.4 and make sure that the real number of operating
sections is coherent with the 1 section roller.
IMPORTANT!
The quantity values in the table refer to a dosing roller where
1, 3 and 5 sections are actually operating (1/5 - 3/5 - 5/5).
When the same quantity is to be distributed, to reduce
the opening of the gearbox of every activated section by
20%.
T o start distribution again using some of the sections or all of them
disassemble the roller and its parts and put them back in their
original position.
3.5.3 ADJUSTMENT FLOW AIR
The air capacity can and must be changed according to the specifi c weight of the seeds by rotating the butterfl y valve supplied
(Abb. 27):
A) normal seeds;
Z) fi ne seeds.
The distribution table supplied with this planting unit shows the
A and Z references corresponding to the seed type used.

3.5.4 DOSING TEST
Adjust the doser with the unit on the ground, the motor turned
off and the tractor blocked in place. Before carrying out the
dosing test, make sure there are no foreign bodies inside the
hopper and the doser.
1) Fit the equipment with the correct metering roller, suitable with
the type of product selected.
2) Position the required container (A) under the metering unit and
open the spout for product discharge (B, Fig. 29) ...«TEST»
3) Add a small seed quantity (approx. 40 kg) inside the hopper.
4) Calculate the gate opening value, with the help of the Table 2,
on the basis of the type of seed to be used and the quantity to
be distributed.
WARNING: Make sure the correct seeding roller is being
used.
5) The seed table is also affi xed to the machine and from this table
it is always possible to calculate approximate seed distribution
quantities. It is, however, always necessary to carry out a sowing
test!
6) Loosen the fastening screw on the gear adjuster ...
7) ... and bring the graded indicator to the required position (depending on the quantity of product to be distributed), by rotating
the adjuster knob (Fig. 30).
8) Once the sowing test has been successfully performed, secure
the fastening screw of the gear adjuster once more.
For the actual metering test, fi t the handle on the gearbox and turn
it as shown in Fig. 31.
The revolutions of the handle correspond to a 1/40 of a hectare.
Prior to the dosing test, it is necessary to perform a few revolutions
in order to load the dosing rollers with product. Unload the product
from the containers and place them back under the dosers. At this
point, the equipment is ready to perform the dosing test.
Next check, using precision scales, the quantity of product collected
and multiply this by 40 in order to obtain the quantity distributed (in
kg./ha). Make any necessary adjustments. Start up the machine,
performing the above mentioned steps in reverse order.
WARNING: after the test, close the spouts (Fig. 32)

3.6 BLOWER DRIVE
3.6.1 POWER TAKE-OFF RPM
The blower pump is enabled by the tractor power take-off. It is
important that the rpm indicated are respected. If the minimum
rpm is not reached the machine could lose distribution precision
and where there are large quantities of seeds, the granulate pipes
could get clogged.
The tensioning and good condition of the belt are therefore of
vital importance to ensure the good for the good operation of the
aspirator and, hence, the success of the sowing.
Adjust the tensioning with the knob (1, Fig. 33).
ATTENTION
Observe the number of power take-off revolutions shown.
Driving a vehicle with a 540 rpm propulsion, with a power
take-off of 1000 rpm and an engine rpm correspondingly low
is not permitted. Danger of blower pump breakage. During
distribution do not let the power take-off rpm drop too low.
3.6.2 OLEO-DYNAMIC BLOWER DRIVE
Safety
The equipment is suitable only for the use indicated. Any use
other than that described in these instructions can cause
damage to the machine and constitute a serious danger to
the user.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate
maintenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to observe
scrupulously what is described in order to prevent any inconveniences that could prejudicate proper operation and duration. It is
just as important to keep to what is described in this booklet since
the Manufacturer declines all responsibility due to negligence
and non-observance of these rules.
At any rate the Manufacturer is available to assure immediate and
accurate technical assistance and all that may be necessary for the
improved operation and better performance of the equipment.
The oleo-dynamic blower drive may be used, maintained and repaired only by personnel with complete knowledge of the apparatus in
question and of the relative dangers. Check the correct connection
of the quick-couplings; failure to do so could result in damage to
the system. Disconnect the oleo-dynamic unions only after having
fi rst depressurized them.
ATTENTION
High-pressure oil leaks can cause serious skin injuries with the
risk of infection. In such cases seek immediate medical attention.
It follows that oleo-dynamic components should not under any
circumstances be installed in the tractor cabin.
All the component parts of the pressurised system should be
carefully installed in order to avoid damage during the use of the
machinery.
DEPENDENT SYSTEM
Characteristics of the tractor necessary for installation:
- A suffi cient number of distributors on the tractor: the supply
to the blower drive has maximum priority.
- Tractor oil fl ow rate: the oil required for engaging the blower is
approx. 32 litres/minute with a max. pressure of 150 bar.
- For correct blower operation and suffi cient oil cooling we recom-
mend supplying the circuit with an amount of oil equal to 55÷60
litres.
- Oil cooling: if the tractor is not equipped with a large enough
cooling system, it will be necessary:
a) to install one;
b) increase the oil reserve by means of a supplementary tank
(ratio: 1:2 between the pump delivery/minute and the oil reserve).
- The return circuit must be low pressure (max 10 bar).
- Do not connect the return circuit to the auxiliary distributor.
- Tractors: check the tractor according to the above observations.
If necessary have any modifi cations carried out by the tractor
dealer.
- Oil supply: follow the data of the table in Fig 34. The hydraulic
pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor distributors
following the instructions on each pipe.

cod. G19503101
If you wish to increase the number of revolutions of the fan for
distributing heavier seeds, carefully proceed as follows (Fig. 35):
a) loosen the handwheel (A, Fig. 35);
b) rotate the handwheel (B, Fig. 35) clockwise or anticlockwise to
reduce or increase pressure and adjust the number of revolutions of the blower accordingly.
c) When the adjustment has been completed, tighten the lock nut
again.
WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to touch act on the dowel (C, Fig. 35) for
any reason, as this would unset the system and could lead to
the motor or pump breaking.
Remember furthermore that at the successive start-up of the system, with cold oil and the position of the regulator untouched, there
will be an initial increase in the blower speed which, once the right
working temperature has been reached, will return to that set.
OIL COOLING
When using a dependent system it is important to check the capacity
of the tractor’s oil tank and whether the cooling system is suffi cient. If
necessary have an oil cooler or a larger tank installed on the tractor
by the dealer: the ratio between the volume of oil in the system
and the capacity of the tank should be approximately 1:2.
ATTENTION
- 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.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility due to negligence
and non-observance of these rules.
Working description
The oil fl ow necessary to drive the blower, is taken from the tractor
distributor, through a pressure tube to a three-way regulator. The
rotational speed of the oleo-dynamic motor, and therefore that
of the blower, is proportional to the fl ow pressure shown on the
manometer (Table 3).
The system is equipped with a safety valve that allows the blower
to continue turning by inertia even after the system has been disengaged or when there has been a sudden failure of the system.
The return circuit, which can have a radiator incorporated (on request), must be low pressure (max 10 bar) otherwise the oil-seal
of the oleo-dynamic motor will be damaged. We recommend that
a 3/4 inch return pipe is connected to the tractor’s oleo-dynamic
system scavenge union in the following way:
a) The return oil must pass through the fi lter;
b) The return oil must not pass through the distributors but
through a low-pressure return circuit (scavenge).
For further information contact the manufacturer of the tractor.
Starting up
With the engine off and the tractor immobilized, connect correctly all
the quick-couplings. Start the engine and operate the system at idle
for a few minutes bringing constant pressure to the entire circuit in
order to avoid instability of the blower. It is possible to regulate the
pressure only when the oil has reached the right temperature and
the blower does not present changes of speed. If the equipment
is used with more than one tractor and, consequently, different
distributors and oils, it will be necessary to repeat the calibration
procedure for each tractor.
In tractors with a variable fl ow rate pump (closed hydraulic circuit),
equipped with oil fl ow rate regulator, open the three-way regula-
tor completely (B, Fig. 34) and, starting with a low oil fl ow rate,
gradually open the internal regulator of the tractor circuit until the
required pressure is reached as shown by the pressure gauge
(C, Fig. 34).
Blower pump control:
Seed drills are delivered with pressure based on the machine width,
as according to Table 4.

3.7 SEEDER POSITION
It is important to adjust the position of the planting unit correctly on
the supporting equipment when in the fi eld.
DANGER
Positioning the seeder on the equipment is an extremely
dangerous phase. Proceed with extreme caution and carry
out the operation scrupulously adhering to the instructions
provided.
1) Before positioning the seeder, it is important to place the equi-
pment in the position in which it is to operate.
2) Adjust the points (A, Fig. 36) of the planter so that the seeding
elements are raised by a few centimetres from the ground.
This position is the zero point of the position setting. When
you are in the fi eld, you should lower the planter by adjusting
the points (A, Fig. 36) again until the required planting depth
is reached.
ATTENTION
If the operating position of the equipment needs to be changed,
re-position the seeder by proceeding as described earlier in
point 2).
3) 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.
3.7.1 ADJUSTING THE SEEDING DEPTH
To obtain a good level at which sprouts come out, the seed needs
to be placed at the right depth into the seeding bed. The planting
depth is obtained mainly by moving the side adjusters of the parallelogram (A, Fig. 36).
CAUTION
The graduated indicator (B, Fig. 35) does not show the planting
depth. Its purpose is to position the two arms at the same
height from the ground.
The pressure of the planting devices is also adjusted individually
with the nut (D, Fig. 37) that allows the tension of the spring to
be adjusted. The screw (C) acts as a limit switch for each furrowopening element. T o obtain regular sowing, calibrate the limit switch
(C) to the same measurement for all furrow-opening elements.
3.7.2 PLANTER WHEEL TRACK ERADICATORS
The wheel track eradicators should be placed on the same line
as the tyres of the planter. To adjust the depth of the wheel track
eradicators, varying the position of pin (A, Fig. 39).

3.8 ROW MARKER
Depending on the seed drill model, two different options of row
marker are provided:
- Mod. 400/450: hydraulically folding row marker with trace on the
tractor wheel (Fig. 40);
- Mod. 500/600: row marker with trace in the centre of the tractor
and hydraulic folding inside the planter’s overall dimensions (Fig.
41).
The row marker is a machine that traces a reference line parallel
to the tracks of the tractor on the ground.
Once the tractor has completed its run and it has turned around,
follow the reference row with one of the front wheels (Fig. 40) or
with the centre of the tractor (Fig. 41) according to the row marker
employed. . Each time it passes, the seeder will mark a reference
line on the side opposite to the previous passage.
The exchange of the row marker arms is actuated by a hydraulic
system with valve supplied with the equipment.
ATTENTION
For road transport lock the row marker arms in a vertical
position with the spring pins provided.

3.8.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic systems provided come equipped with one-way fl ow
regulators (Fig. 42) which allow for the regulation of the quantity
of oil during opening or closing, depending on how the regulators
have been installed:
- Flow from B to C, free (Fig. 42);
- Flow from C to B, choked (regulated) (Fig. 42).
To regulate, loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the knob (2).
Once this adjustment has been made, re tighten the lock nut.
WARNING
Make sure that the result of this adjustment does not cause
the rising or descent speed to damage the structure itself.
Never exceed the maximum admissible pressure for the
hydraulic system.
OPTIONAL
In the 500 and 600 models the hydraulic system of the row marker can be supplied with 3-way valves (F, Fig. 43) which use the
same distributor as the tractor to manage and control an additional
application (E) which works when the seed drill is not running (e.g.
seed hopper fi lling equipment).

In 500 and 600 models the hydraulic row marker is fl oating so that
it can adjust to any soil type. If the row marker disc is excessively
aggressive in special work conditions (e.g. non perfectly fl at seed-
bed), the penetration angle into the soil can be reduced by moving
the bolt (H, Fig. 46) along the 3 positions on the arm support.
IMPORT ANT : when the bolt is moved (H, Fig. 46), it is essential
to adjust the position of the screw (I, Fig. 46) required to keep
the row marker arm blocked during transportation.
The row marker arms have a safety bolt (G, Fig. 46) so that the
planter unit structure will not be damaged. If they happen to bump
into an obstacle, this bolt will break and so the row marker arm will
rotate to leave the equipment structure intact.
Replace the safety bolt with the bolt supplied.

3.10 TRANSPORT
If it becomes necessary to transport the machine for a long distance,
it can be loaded onto a railway wagon or a truck. For this purpose,
consult «Technical Data» for weight and specifi c dimensions.
The latter are very useful to check the possibility of driving along all
types of roads. The machine is generally supplied in a horizontal
position with no packing material.
It is therefore necessary to use a system of hoisting with a crane
and cables, or chains of adequate capacity, hooking onto the
machine at the hoisting points marked with the «hook» symbol
(15, Fig. 4).
CAUTION
Before proceeding to the hoisting op- erations, make sure that
any any mo- bile elements of the machine are blocked. Make
sure to use a crane with an adequate hoisting capacity to lift
the machine. Hoist the machine with extreme caution and
transfer it slowly, without jerks or abrupt movements.
DANGER
The operations of hoisting and trans- port can be very dangerous if not carried out with the maximum caution; persons not
directly involved should be moved away. Clean, evacuate the
area and delimit the transfer zone. Check the state, condition
and suit- ability of the means at disposition. Do not touch
suspended loads, keep- ing them at a safe distance.
It most be further ascertained that the operational area is free
of obstacles and that there is suffi cient «escape space», me-
aning an area which is free and secure into which one could
move rapidly in case a load should fall. The surface on which
the machine is to be loaded must be horizontal in or- der to
prevent possible shifting.
Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, make sure that it
remains blocked in its position. Fasten the machine on the platform
of the vehicle by means of cables suitable for the mass which must
be blocked (see «Technical Data» for the weight).
The cables must be fi rmly fastened to the machine and pulled taut
to the anchorage point on the platform. Once transport has been
carried out and before freeing the machine from all its fastenings,
make sure that its state and position are such as not to constitute
danger. Remove the cables and proceed to unloading with the
same means and methods used for loading.
Transit and transporting on the public highways
When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
The tractor used for transporting the equipment must have the powers shown in the Technical Data table; if necessary , redistribute
the total weights with the addition of ballasts to return
balance and stability to the whole assembly (page 48).
For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must be
placed in the transportation position:
- Where provided for, make all the moving parts come within the
transport width, locking them with the safety devices (toolbars,
row marker arms, row marker discs, etc.).
- Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
- Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
When driving on the public roads, fi t on the rear refl ector triangles,
side lights and fl ashing beacon and always make sure that you com-
ply with the Highway Code and any other applicable regulations.
Make sure that the machine dimensions during transfer phases
allow for safe transport when travelling in subways, along narrow
roads, near electrical lines, etc.
ATTENTION
The seed-drill must only be transported by road with the tanks
and hoppers empty and at max speed of 25 km/h.
Before driving on to the public roads with the machine hitched
to the tractor, make sure that the devices listed above and/or
the slow vehicle signal and/or the projecting load signal operate correctly. These indicators must be affi xed to the rear
of the implement in a position where they can be clearly seen
by any other vehicle that drives up behind.

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 leafl et.
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
WARNING
Remove the safety pins and lift the planting unit so that it
completely clears the ground before handling the side frames
(Fig. 50).
In the presence of dampness, make the fan idle for a few minutes
to dry the pipes.
Hopper and tank fi lling
Hoppers and tanks can be fi lled 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.
WARNING
- 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 Shoes Goggles Helmets
- Load from the outer sides of the machine.
- When fi lling the seed, fertilizer and insecticide hoppers, en-
sure 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.
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.
CAUTION
- 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.
DANGER
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.

3.14 THE END OF OPERATION
At the end of the work processes, stop all the mechanical moving
parts in safe conditions. Let the machine sit on the ground, stop the
engine, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake.
EMPTYING THE HOPPER
The emptying hatch opens the doser the entire width of the dosing
roller so that the machine can be emptied quickly and effectively.
Keeping the retaining spring coupled, unload the hopper by lifting
the gate slightly, controlling the amount being discharged (Fig. 51).
Once the hopper has been unloaded, release the retaining spring
to clean the doser body (Fig. 52).
Do not forget to close the hatch and secure it with the retaining
spring before fi lling the machine a second time!
The hatch opening is wide enough to enable the force of action of
the agitator (Fig. 52) to be easily varied in the case of particularly
problematic seeds (using the machine as a seed distributing front
hopper) (see chapter on agitator).

4.4 REAR SEED PRESSING WHEELS
Alternatively to the rear seed covering harrow, the machine can be
fi tted with a number of rear seed pressing wheels (F, Fig. 57) featuring built-in springs (G, Fig. 57) for covering the seed furrow.
The rear seed pressing wheels and springs are independently adjusted (H-I, Fig. 57) to fi nd the best setup for seed furrow closing.
WARNING: During road transport, stop the wheel-carrying bar
using the supplied pin which has to be fi tted into the existing
holes (L, Fig. 57).
4.5 FLOATING FRAME WITH NITROGEN
ACCUMULATOR
A fl oating system for the furrower holding frame has been incor-
porated in the planter: in specifi c ground conditions (valleys, hill
planting etc.), this system facilitates even planting of the seedbed,
despite its irregularity.
Install the mounting plates (M, Fig. 58).
During the normal planter setup procedures, the support wheels
have to be adjusted for height, varying the position of the pin (N,
Fig. 59), in order to align the furrower-holding frames and guarantee
an even sowing depth.
A nitrogen accumulator is supplied with the “fl oating toolbar kit” (O,
Fig. 60), to ensure that the side wings maintain a constant position
during planting.
The nitrogen accumulator’s hydraulic system is equipped with a tap
which must stay open while the side wings are moving.
After the side toolbars have been opened, bring the nitrogen accumulator to a pressure of 30 bar (Max.), readable on the gauge

5.0 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 indicative 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.
All operations must be carried out by expert personnel,
equipped with protective gloves, in a clean and dust-free
environment.
Overalls Gloves Shoes Goggles Protetion-
cap
All maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine hooked up to the tractor, the parking brake engaged,
the engine off, the ignition key removed and the equipment
sitting on suitable supports on the ground.
ATTENTION
USING OILS AND GREASES
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid
mud, dustand 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.
CLEANING
- The products used for cleaning must be disposed of according to the laws in force.
- Clean and maintain the machine after putting any removed
guards back in position. Replace them with new ones, if they are
damaged.
USING PRESSURISED CLEANING SYSTEMS (Air/Water)
- Do not pressure clean electrical components.
- Do not pressure clean chromium-plated components.
- Do not place the nozzle in contact with the parts of the equi-
pment, especially the bearings. Keep it at a min. distance of
30 cm from the surface to be cleaned.
- Always keep in mind the rules that regulate use of these
systems.
- Thoroughly lubricate the equipment, especially after cleaning it
with pressurised systems.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
- Hydraulic systems must be maintained exclusively by skilled
operators.
- The hydraulic system is under high pressure; because of
the accident risk, when searching for leakage points special
auxiliary instruments should be used.
- In case of participation on the hydraulic system, to unload
the hydraulic pressure carrying all the hydraulic commandos
in all the positions some times after to have extinguished
the motor.
- Oil escaping at high pressure can cause skin injury with the
risk of serious wounds and infection. Call a doctor immediately if such an incident occurs. If the oil with surgical means
is not removed quickly, can take place serious allergies and/
or infections. Therefore, the installation of hydraulic components in the tractor driver’s cab is strictly forbidden. All the
components of the system should be positioned carefully
to avoid parts being damage during use of the equipment.
At least once a year have the hydraulic pipes checked for
wear by an expert.
- Replace the hydraulic pipes if they are damaged or worn by
aging.
- Replace the hydraulic pipes every 5 years even if they have
not been used (natural aging).
Figure 61 (A) shows hydraulic pipes bearing the year of
manufacture as an example.
After the fi rst 10 hours of operation and then after every 50
hours, check that:
- all the elements of the hydraulic system are water-tight;
- all the joints are tight;
Before starting the machine up, check that:
- the hydraulic pipes are connected correctly;
- the pipes are positioned correctly , and they are free to move
during standard manoeuvres;
- any damaged or worn part is replaced, if necessary.
Replace the hydraulic pipes in the following cases:
- when external damage is identifi ed such as cutting, tearing
and wear due to friction, etc.;
- when they are deteriorated on the outer surface;
- when they are deformed beyond their natural shape due to
crushing, formation of bubbles, etc.;
- when leaks are identifi ed near the pipe sheath (B, Fig. 61);
- when the sheath is corroded (B, Fig. 61);
- 5 years after their manufacture (A, Fig. 61).

tight.
- Lubricate the transmission chains.
- Check the tightness of the bolts on the listers.
5.0.2 AT THE BIGINNING OF THE SEEDING SEASON
- Operate the empty seeding machine, the air-fl ow frees the pipes
from condensation and removes eventual impurities (Fig. 62).
- Lubricate the transmission chains.
- Make sure that the transmission rotates freely without any interferences.
5.0.3 EVERY 20/30 WORKING HOURS
- Check the tightness of the bolts on the listers.
- Lubricate the transmission chains.
- Lubricate the row marker discs and the arm of the seed cover
harrow.
- Check the fan-belt tension
The tensioning and good condition of the belt are therefore of
vital importance to ensure the good for the good operation of the
aspirator and, hence, the success of the sowing.
Adjust the tensioning with the knob (1, Fig. 63).
Replace the belts if they present signs of wear or aging.
Replace the transmission belts every 400 hectares tilled!
- Lubrifi care regolarmente la presa di potenza secondo le istruzioni
fornite dalla ditta produttrice.
5.0.4 EVERY 50 WORKING HOURS
- Clean the distributor carefully and thoroughly.
- Thoroughly clean the entire distribution head (Fig. 64) as follows:
• loosen and remove the wing nuts (F);
• remove the cover on the distributor (G);
• clean metal parts with a brush and plastic parts with a cloth;
• put the cover back in place and close it with the wing nuts.
- Grease the row marker arm pin.
- Grease the folding arm supports of the frame.
- Check the oil level in the gearbox and top up to level (Fig. 65,
«H») whenever necessary using the same type of oil (ACER 22)
whenever possible.
5.0.5 EVERY SIX MONTHS
- Grease the bevel gear pair of the Cardan shaft.
5.0.6 PERIODICALLY
- Check the pressure of the seed drill tyres:
tyres 13.0/55-16AW (4,9 bar).
5.0.7 EVERY 400 WORKING HOURS
- Change the speed change gear oil completely with ACER 22 type oil (2 Kg):
- oil drainage plug (I, Fig. 65);

5.0.9 SETTING ASIDE
At the end of the season, or if a long period of rest is for seen it
is advisable:
1) Carefully empty all the seed from the hopper and distribution
assÕy.
2) Wash the equipment with a lot of water, especially the tanks,
and than dry them.
3) Carefully check worn or damaged parts and replace if necessary.
4) Tighten all screws and bolts.
5) Grease the dnve chains, oil all the drive chains, spread lubricant
on all the parts not painted (Fig. 66).
6) Protect the equipment with a (nylon) cover.
7) Then put it in a dry place, do not move it and where it is out of
reach of un authorized people.
If these operations are done carefully, it will be to the total advantage of the user because when work is recommenced, he will fi nd
the equipment in perfect conditions.
5.1 SUGGESTIONS IN CASE OF INCONVENIENCES
5.1.1 CLOGGING OF THE PIPES
- Check, on the basis of the rotation test chart, the position of the
butterfl y valves.
- The blades are clogged with wet soil
- The distribution pipes are bent somewhere.
- Foreign bodies in the distributor or blade.
- Respect the rpm, 540 or 1000, of the power take-off.
- The blower pump rpm has been reduced because of worn V-
belts.
5.1.2 THE AMOUNT OF SEED IN KG/HA DOES NOT
CORRESPOND TO THE VALUES OF THE ROTATION TEST
The causes involved in the excessive amount of seeds dispersed
may be:
- the sealing rims are defective and no longer adhere, because of
wear or mice eating them away.
- during the rotation test the drive transmission wheel was turned
too fast.
The causes involved in an insuffi cient amount of seed dispersed
may be:
- dosing unit access clogged by foreign bodies.
- During the distribution of fi ne seeds cases can be verifi ed in which
it has outside been exited of seeds from the dosage system.
- during the rotation test the empty weight of the collecting container
was not taken into account and deducted.
- Insuffi cient movement of the hoist arms: the planting unit is not
free to follow the path of the soil, causing the transmission wheel
to slip (chapter 3.1.1 reference 3).
- Check the pressure of the seed drill tyres:
tyres 13.0/55-16AW (4,9 bar).
- When working at very slow speeds (less than 3 km/h), seed
planting may be irregular. In this case, please consult the Manufacturer.
The differences due to slipping or excessive distribution at the
beginning of the fi eld, are around 2-4%. Greater deviations can
be traced back exclusively to errors in the rotation test, to a wrong
transmission ratio or similar causes.
6.0 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
This operation is to be carried out by the customer.
Before demolishing the machine, you are advised to carefully check
its physical condition and ascertain whether there are any parts
of the structure that may be susceptible to structural collapse or
breakage during demolition.
The customer should operate in compliance with the environment
protection laws in force in his/her country.
CAUTION
The machine demolition operations should be carried out
by skilled personnel only, equipped with suitable protective
clothing (safety footwear and gloves) and auxiliary tools and
equipment.
All the disassembly operations for demolition should be
carried out with the machine stopped and detached from the
tractor.
Before demolishing the machine, you are advised to render harmless
all the parts that may be a source of danger and therefore:
- scrap the structure using specialized fi rms,
- remove any electrical apparatus according to the laws in force,
- collect oils and greases separately, to be disposed of through
specialized fi rms, in accordance with the regulations of the
country in which the machine was used.
When the machine is demolished the CE mark should be destroyed
together with this manual.
Last but not least, we remind you that the manufacturer is
always available for any and all necessary assistance and
spares.
