Introduction
Foreword
Before operating the machine, read and strictly
comply with the operating instructions. In doing
so, you will avoid accidents, reduce repair costs
and downtime and increase the reliability and
service life of your machine. Pay attention to
the safety instructions!
HORSCH will not assume liability for any damage or malfunctions resulting from failure to
comply with the operating instructions.
These operating instructions will assist you in
getting to know your machine and in using it
correctly for its intended purposes. First you are
given general instructions in handling the ma-
chine. This is followed by chapters on servicing,
maintenance and the action to be taken should
a malfunction occur.
The operating instructions must be read and
strictly adhered to by all persons working on or
with the machine e.g.
¾ Operation (including preparation, fault recti-
cation during work and servicing)
¾ Maintenance (maintenance and inspection)
¾ Transport
Together with the operating instructions, you
also receive receipt. Field service technicians
will instruct you in the operation and care of
your machine. After this you should return the
machine registration form to HORSCH.
This conrms your formal acceptance receipt
of the machine. The warranty period starts with
the date of delivery.
We reserve the right to alter illustrations as well
as technical data and weights contained in these
operating instructions for the purpose of improv-
ing the machine.
Warranty claims
Warranty claim forms must be submitted through
your local HORSCH dealer to the HORSCH
Service Department in Schwandorf.
Only claims, which have been correctly completed and submitted no later than four weeks
after the defect occurred, can be processed.
Exchange parts, which require the old part to be
returned, are marked with the letter "R".
Please return these components cleaned and
emptied to HORSCH within 4 weeks together
with a warranty claim form and precise fault
description.
Exchange parts, which do not require the old
part to be returned. Please keep such parts for
12 weeks, until a decision has been made on
the action to be taken.
Warranty repairs, which are to be carried out by
a third-party company, or which are expected
to take longer than 10 working hours, must be
agreed upon in advance with the Customer
Service Department.

Intended use
The seed wagon is state-of-the-art and designed in accordance with relevant, recognised
safety regulations. However, risks of injury to
the operator or third parties and impairment of
the machine or other tangible assets can occur
during use.
The machine must only be operated for its intended use if in a technically perfect condition,
whilst being aware of safety and risks and in
strict compliance with the operating instructions!
Faults, particularly those which impair safety,
must be remedied immediately.
The machine must only be operated, serviced
and repaired by persons who are familiar with
it and have been made aware of the dangers
involved.
Genuine spare parts and accessories from
HORSCH have been specially designed for this
machine. Spare parts and accessories which
are not delivered by us, have not been tested
or approved by us.
Installation or use of non-original HORSCH
products may have a detrimental effect on
specic design features of the machine and
impair the safety of machine operators and the
machine itself.
HORSCH will not assume liability whatsoever for
damage resulting from the use of non-original
parts and accessories.
The machine is designed to distribute seeds
and fertilisers. Any other use beyond these
limits, e.g. as a means of transport, is deemed
improper.
HORSCH will not assume liability whatsoever
for damage resulting from unintended use. The
risk will be borne solely by the user.
The respective accident prevention regulations
and other generally recognised safety-related,
occupational medical and road trac regulations
are to be adhered to.
Intended use also includes the strict compliance
with the operating instructions and adherence to
the operating, maintenance and repair instruc-
tions specied by the manufacturer.
Consequential damage
The mac hine has bee n manufactured by
HORSCH with great care. Nevertheless, even
when used properly, deviations or complete
failure in the application rate may be caused,
e.g. by:
¾ dierences in the composition of seed or
fertiliser (i.e. grain size distribution, density,
geometrical shape, dressing, sealing).
¾ blockages or seed bridging (i.e. caused by
foreign bodies, non-smooth seeds, sticky
dressing, moist fertiliser).
¾ Worn wearing parts (e.g. metering unit).
¾ Damage caused by external inuences.
¾ incorrect drive motor speeds and driving
speeds.
¾ incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect connec-
tion, non-observance of setting tables).
Therefore, it is crucial to always check your
machine before and during operation for correct
operation and adequate application accuracy.
Compensation claims for damages which have
not been caused by the machine, are excluded.
This also includes that any liability for consequential damages caused by drill and control
commands, is excluded.

Hydraulic connections
¾ Do not connect hydraulic lines to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems (machine and
tractor) are de-pressurised.
¾ The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾ Only use appropriate aids when checking for
leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil
sprays can cause injuries and re!
¾ In the case of injury, contact a doctor im-
mediately!
Power sockets and connectors on the hydraulic
connections between the tractor and machine
should be colour-coded in order to exclude op-
erating errors.
The control unit on the tractor must
be secured or locked when not in use
or when the machine is in transport
position, in order to prevent accidents
caused by unintended hydraulic movements or movements caused by persons other than the operator (children,
passengers).
Pressure accumulator
Ending on the hitched up drill a pressure ac-
cumulator may be installed.
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on the
pressure accumulator. Even after being emptied, the accumulator is still preloaded by gas
pressure.
Always de-pressurize the pressure accumulator
before starting work on the hydraulic system.
The pressure gauge should not indicate any
pressure.
The pressure gauge reading should drop to 0
bar. Only then may work be carried out on the
hydraulic system.
Accident prevention
In addition to the operating instructions, it is
important to observe the accident prevention
regulations specied by agricultural trade associations!
Hitching / un-hitching
There is risk of injury to persons when hitching/
un-hitching the machine to the drawbar of the
tractor.
¾ Secure the machine against rolling away.
¾ Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
¾ Only park the machine on a rm and level
surface. Before un-hitching the machine,
lower it to the ground.
11
Service and maintenance
¾ Ensure that regular tests and inspections are
always carried out to schedule, as specied
in the operating instructions.
¾ Prior to performing maintenance and servicing
work, ensure that the machine is positioned
on rm, level ground and that it is properly
secured against rolling away.
¾ De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
¾ Before cleaning the machine with high pres-
sure cleaning equipment cover all openings,
which should stay clear of water, steam or
cleaning agents for reasons of safety or op-
eration. Do not aim the water jet directly at
electrical or electronic components, bearings
or the fan.
¾ After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
¾ Check hoses for chang and signs of other
damage. Remedy any faults immediately!
¾ Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric power supply.
¾ When performing welding work on the ma-
chine, disconnect the cables from computers
and other electronic components. The ground
connection must be as close as possible to
the welding point.
¾ Re-tighten screwed connections which have
been loosened during servicing and mainte-
nance work.
Do not wash new machines with a
steam-jet or high-pressure cleaner. The
paint takes approx. 3 months to cure
and could thus be damaged if this time
has not yet expired.
Changing implements
¾ Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing!
¾ Secure lifted frame parts, under which you will
be working, with suitable supports!
In operation
¾ Check the area around the machine (for chil-
dren!) before setting o and starting operation
of the machine. Ensure sucient visibility.
¾ Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
¾ Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
¾ Only use ascending aids and steps when ma-
chine is at standstill. Passengers are not allowed to ride on the machine during operation!
