Summary
Information about the tyre load-bearing capacity of the front and rear
wheels can be found in the tyre manufacturer's details.
• The front tyre load- bearing capacity for t wo wheels is equal to t wice
the permissible tyre load-bearing capacity of a single front wheel.
• The rear tyre load-bear ing capacity for two wheel s is equal to twice
the permissible tyre load-bearing capacity of a single rear wheel.
Check if the following conditions are met:
• The actual values for the rear axle load must be less than the per-
missible values given in the tract or's operating manual.
• The tyre load-bearing capaci ty must be great er than the values for
the rear axle load given in the operating manual.
• The actual total weight must be less than the permissi ble total
weight given in the tractor's operating manual.
If these conditions are not met, the machine must not be attached to
this tractor.
If you have a sufficiently large weigh-br idge, you can determine the total weight and the rear axle load by weighing.
13
Safety
Road transport
Make sure that the condition of the machine conforms to traffic
regulations
The machine must conform to current traffic regulations if you intend
to drive it on public roads. These include, f o r example:
• Lights, warning equipment and protective equipment are installed
• The permissible transport width and wei ght, axle loads, tyre load-
bearing capacity and total weights are observed
The driver and owner of the vehicle are liable if traffic regulations are
not observed.
Close the ball valves
If there are ball valves on the hydraulic lines or chassis cylinders, you
must close them prior to road transport. The accidental actuation of
control valves o n the tractor might otherwi se cause movements on the
machine. This can result in damage to the machine or accidents.
Check remote cord for the quick release coupling
Remote cords must hang loose and must not, when in their lowered
position, release the coup lings of their own accord. Coup led machines
might otherwise come loose from the three-point linkage of their own
accord.
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
Do not transport people or objects on the machine. Riding on the machine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Putting the ma-
chine into opera-
tion
Note the altered driving and braking performance
Driving and braking performance are altered when the machine is attached to the tractor. Take the width and balancing weight of the machine into consideration, especially when cornering. A driving style
which not adjusted to the road conditions can l ead to acci dents.
Moderate your speed
Always adjust your driving speed to the road conditions. If conditions
are poor and your speed is too high, extremely high forces can arise
that place a major load on the tractor and machine and might overstress them. T ravelling at an inappropriate speed can result in machine damage and accidents.
Initial operation after briefing
The machine must not be put into operation until the user has been
given proper initial instruction by an employee of the dealer, a factory
representative, or an employee of the manufacturer. Commissioning
without instruction can lead to damage to the machine due to false
operation or accidents can happen.
Ensure that the machine is in perfect working condition
Do not operate the machine unless it is in perfect working condition.
Check all important components and replace any defective components before starting the machine. Defect components can cause damage to equipment and injury to persons.
14
Safety
Do not remove the protective equipment
Protective equipment must not be removed or by-passed. Check all
protective equipment before start ing the machine. Unprotected machine components can cause severe or fatal accidents.
Checking tyre pressures
Check tyre pressure regularly. If the tyre pressure is too high or too
low, this can reduce the service life of the tyre and result in undesirable work results. Accidents might occur during road transport.
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
Do not transport people or objects on the machine. Riding on the machine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Height of machine and overhead power lines
If a height of 4.00 m is exceeded when folding the machine in and out,
the machine must not be folded in the vicinity of conducting overhead
power lines! Danger of electrocution! Should the machine come into
contact with an overhead power line:
• Do not attempt to climb out of the tractor cabin
• Do not touch any metal parts on the tractor
• Do not create any conductive contact with the ground
• Warn all persons in the area not to app roac h the tractor or the ma-
chine
• Wait for help from professional emergency service personnel as
power in the overhead line must first be switched off
Never climb onto the machine if it is beneath con ducting overh ead power lines. The voltage can jump even if the lines are not actually touching the machine.
Make sure the immediate vicinity is clear
Before starting up, folding out the machine, and using it, check the
vicinity of the machine. Mak e sure the oper ator has an adequat e view
of the work area. Do not beg in work unt il th e immediate vicinity is cleared of any persons or objects. Any use of the machine without verification of the situation around it can lead to accidents.
Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws
Nuts, bolts and screws should be checked at regular intervals and
tightened if necessary. Screws can come loose unnoticed while operating. Damage can occur to the machine or injury to persons.
What to do in the event of a malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, shut down and secure the machine immediately. The malfunction may be eliminated immediately, or your
dealer must be assigned the task. Further operation of the machine
can lead to damage to the machine or injury to persons.
15
Safety
Uncoupling the machine
Care and m ai nte-
nance
Increased risk of injury
There is an increased risk of injury when uncoupling the
machine from the tractor. Therefore:
• Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll for wards or back-
wards
• Never stand between the tractor and the machine during uncou-
pling
• Actuate the three-point power l if t system slowly and carefully
• Make sure the machine is standing on a secure and level surface
• Only disconnect the hydraulic hoses if there is no pressure in the
tractor and machine hydraulic system
Nonobservance can lead to serious or fatal injury.
Follow the care and maintenance chart
Observe prescribed interval s for maintenance chec ks and insp ections
specified in the operat ing manual . No nobservanc e of the time peri ods
can lead to damage to the machine, poor quality of work or accident s.
Only use OEM replacement parts (original equipment manufacturers)
Many components have special ch aracteris tics whic h are essent ial for
the machine's stability and correct function. Only accessories and
spare parts supplied by the manufacturer have been tested and approved. Using other pr oduct s may le ad to mal functions or impa ir safety. The use of non-OEM spare parts renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the manufacturer from all liability.
When performing care and maintenance work:
• Switch off the tractor's power take-off shaft
• Depressurise the hydraulic system
• Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor
• Make sure the machine is standing securely. Provide additional
support as required
• Do not use parts of the machi ne as c lim bing ai ds; u se on ly spec ial
and safe means of ascent
• Secure the tractor so that it cannot rol l forwards or backwards
• Never reach into the V-belt while it is moving
It is only possible to guarantee work safety during care or maintenance work through observing these regulations.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect it from
the power supply . Equipment under electrical power can cause damage to equipment and injury to persons.
16
Safety
Replace hydraulic hoses
Replace hydraulic tubes every three years. Hydraulic hoses can age
without any externally vi sible damage. Defect hy drauli c lines can lead
to severe or fatal injuries.
Caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
The machine can be cleaned using either water or a steam jet. Only
use low pressure to clean bearings, fans, signal distribution boxes,
plastic part s and hydraulic tubes. Excessi vely high pressures can cause damage to these parts.
Prior to welding work, disconnect the battery and generator
Prior to carrying out electrical welding work on the attached machine,
disconnect the tractor's battery and generator. This prevents damage
to the electrical syst em .
Tighten the screw connections
All screw connections r eleased d uri ng mainte nance and rep air oper ations must now be retightened. Loo se threaded connecti ons can undo
without you noticing during your work. As a result, machine parts can
fall off. Severe injury to persons or damage to equipment can result.

The Miniair Nova is a precision seed drill for seeding after seedbed
preparation. It i s for normal use i n agriculture. V er satile equipment options allow the seeding of round, calibrated seed. The prerequisite is
always a soil condition that allows cultivation and seeding. The level
of wetness or dr yness, f or exampl e, ca n make se eding t he soil impossible with some soil types.
Any application other than or beyond this, e.g. as a means of transport, for stump pulling or to transfer power t o other objec ts i s considered improper use. The manufacturer and dealer are not liable for damage caused by improper use. The risk is borne solely by the user

Mulch seeding
Direct seeding
There are different in terpretations and definiti ons for some agr onomic
terms. The terms used in this opera ting manual are defined as foll ows.
Seeding after completion of turning the soil with the plough.
Seeding after completion of seedbed prepar ation or secon dary prep aration after turning the soil. The purpose of seedbed preparation is to
prepare the top soil layer f or seeding. By working at a const ant depth,
clods are crushed, the soil surface levelled and the ground below the
seed deposit is recompacted due to the soil contact required.
Seeding after completion of mixing the soil. The soil must be worked
deeper than the required deposit depth.
Seeding without working the soil. Residue from the previous crop is
chaffed or in a condition that enabl es dir ect seeding.

Characteristics of the machine
Perfect combination
Thanks to specially harde ned mate rial combined wi th an opt imum design and high manufacturing quality, you acquire a reliable machine
for seeding. It is easy t o handle and featur es low-maintenance mechanics.
Exact depth adjustment and guidance
All sowing units can be adjusted exact ly to the des ired depth. The deposit depth can be adjusted via the front press wheels. The pre-running press wheels allow in combination with parallelogram construction of the sowing units a precise depth guidance.
Seed spacing and seed deposit
Even without tools, the seed spacing can be adjusted easily either
electronically or using a shift gear. The optoelectronics of the machinery is responsible for the monitoring of the grain deposit (accessory). An inter mediate pre ss wheel beds the s eed in an optimum manner in the moisture-c onducting soi l layer . A seed coverer cove rs it wit h
loose earth and a press wheel firms up the ground which means that
it is better protected against mud formation.

Delivery and assembly
Delivery and assembly
Check scope of supply
The machine is delivered compl etely assembled. I f part s of the machi ne have not been assembled, please contact your dealer.
Do not assemble the machine yourself
Do not do assembly work yourself since prerequisites for an orderly
condition of the machine are :
• observance of a sequence of worksteps
• observation of tolerances and torques
• safe handling of the electronics
If parts are missing or have been damaged during transportation,
please submit a complaint immediately to your dealer, importer or the
manufacturer.

Coupling the machinery
Couplin g the m a-
chine
Increased risk of injury
When coupling the machine to the tractor, there is an increased risk of
injury. Therefore:
Coupling the machinery
• Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll for wards or back-
wards
• The tractor and machine must belong to the same category
• Never stand between the tractor and the machine during coupling
• Actuate the three-point power l if t system slowly and carefully
Nonobservance can lead to serious or fatal injury.
The machine is fact ory-equipp ed for mount ing with a three-poi nt li nkage.
> Slide suitable catch pan s on the lower link arms of the machine for
the tractor and secure with linchpins
> Couple the machine and raise slightly by means of the lower links
> Slide up support legs and secure with bolt. Secure bolt wit h cotter
pin.
> Adjust the top link so that the frame is parallel to the ground in the
working position and the three-point block is vertical
> Adjust the lower li nk so t hat the machi ne has littl e play to the left or
right
Never adjust the depth of the machine via the lower link, but rather at
each individual sowing unit.

Increased risk of injury
When coupling the machine to the tractor, there is an increased
risk of injury. Therefore:
• Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll for wards or back-
wards
• Switch off the tractor engine
After coupling, make the followi ng connections:
• Electrics
• Hydraulics
If present, connect the el ectri cal cabl es for th e foll owing to the tracto r:
• The folding of the PH frame
• The folding of the electrohydraulic track markers
• The machine's electronic control system
• The lighting equipment on the machine
> Check all connections to make sure they are working properly.

Coupling the machinery
Hydraulics
Hydraulic connection at zero pressure only
Only connect the hydraul ic hose s to the tr actor hy drau lic sy stem if th e
tractor and machine hydraulic system is depressurised. A hydraulic
system which is under pr essure can cause unforeseen movement s on
the machine.
Avoid mixtures of different oils
If the machine is used with different tr actors, incompatible types of oil
may become mixed. Such a mixture of incompatible oils can result in
the destruction of tractor components.
Check tubes and couplings
Check all hydraulic tubes for damage before connecting them up.
Check for firm seating of all hydraulic couplings once connected. Defect hydraulic tubes or poorly seated hydraulic couplings can initiate
unforeseen movements on the machine or lead to acci dents.
Securing the control system
Secure the control systems on the tractor in the transport position
against unintended actuation. Unintended actuation of a control system can trigger un foreseen movements on t he machine or lead t o injury to persons.
