the parked planter from rolling.

Performing Maintenance :

• Good maintenance is your responsibility.

• Make repairs in an area with plenty of

ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.

• Before working on the planter, stop the towing vehicle, set the brakes, disengage the PTO and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.

• Be certain all moving parts have come to a complete stop before attempting to perform maintenance.

• Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.

• Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin. If injured by escaping

hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene can result. Without immediate medical treatment, serious infection and reactions can occur.

• Replace all shields and guards after servicing and before moving.

• After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.

• If the planter has been altered in any way from the original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability for injury or warranty.

Tire Safety :

• Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and / or mount tires.

• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job.

• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which way result in serious injury or death.

Before Operation :

• Carefully study and understand this manual.

• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing which may catch in moving parts.

• It is recommended that suitable protective hearing and (eye protection) sight protectors be worn.

• The operator may come in contact with certain materials witch may require specific safety equipment, relative to the handling of such materials (examples : extremely dusty, molds, fungus, bulk fertilizers, insecticides, etc.)

• Assure that the planter tires are inflated evenly.

• Give the planter a visual inspection for any loose bolts, worn parts or cracked welds, and make necessary repairs.

• Be sure that there are no tools lying on or in the planter.

• Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your new planter.

• Practice operation of your planter and its attachments. Completely familiarize yourself and other operators with its operations before using.

• Do not allow anyone to stand between the tongue or hitch and the towing vehicle when backing up the planter.

During Operation :

• Beware of bystanders, particularly children ! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the engine of the towing vehicle.

• No passengers allowed anywhere on, or in the planter during operation.

PLANTER PREPARATION

For the initial preparation of the planter, lubricate the planter and row units as outlined in the lubrication section of this manual. Make sure all tires are properly inflated, that all drive chains have the proper tension, alignment and lubrication.

TRACTOR PREPARATION

Consult your dealer for information on the minimum tractor horse power requirements and tractor capability. Tractor requirements will vary with planter options, tillage and terrain.

One dual remote hydraulic outlet (SCV) is required on models equipped with the standard single valve hydraulic system. Two dual remote hydraulic outlets (SCV) are required on models equipped with the optional dual valve hydraulic system.

PLANTER ATTACHMENT TO TRACTOR

Use the following six steps to attach your planter to the tractor.

1. Adjust the tractor drawbar so it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. Adjust the drawbar so that the hitch pin holes is directly below the center line of the PTO shaft. Make sure the drawbar is in a stationary position.

2. Back the tractor to the planter and connect them with a hitch pin. Make sure the hitch pin is secured with a locking pin or cotter pin.

3. Connect the PTO drive shaft to the

tractor. In addition to a standard 540 rpm PTO, a 1000 rpm shaft is available.

CAUTION – Make sure that you

connect the proper end of the PTO to the tractor. An arrow on the PTO indicates the end of the constant velocity (double clutch) that is attached to the tractor.

The following sticker is placed on your PTO shaft for your safety...

DANGER – Rotating drive line

contact can cause death – keep away. Do not operate without all driveline, tractor and equipment shields in place ; without drivelines securely attached at both ends, and without driveline shields that turn freely on driveline.

4. Connect the hydraulic hoses to tractor

ports in a sequence which is both familiar and comfortable to the operator.

DANGER – Before applying

pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure all connections are tight and hoses and fittings have not been damaged. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing injury or infection.

CAUTION – Always wipe hose ends to remove any dirt before connecting couplers to tractor parts.

Operation

http://hespareparts.com

5. Raise the jack stand and remount horizontally on the storage bracket.

6. Lower the planter to the planting position and check that the planter is level (front to back and side to side). If the hitch height is too high or too low, disconnect the planter and adjust the hitch clevis in an up or down position as necessary.

LEVELING THE PLANTER

For proper operation of the planter and row units, it is important that the unit operate level.

Unless the tractor drawbar is adjustable for height, the fore and aft level adjustment must be maintained by the position of the hitch clevis. Holes in the hitch bracket allow the clevis to be raised or lowered. When installing clevis mounting bolt, tighten hex nut to proper torque setting.

With the planter lowered to proper operating depth, check to be sure the frame is level fore and aft (front to back and side to side). Recheck once the planter is in the field.

It is also important for the planter to operate level laterally. Tire pressure must be maintained at pressures specified.

TIRE PRESSURE

DANGER Rim and tire servicing can be dangerous. Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. This should only be done by properly trained and equipped to do the job.

Maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on air chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side, and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage to enclose the tire and assembly when inflating.

Inspect tires and wheels daily. Do not operate with low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Tire pressure should be checked regularly and maintained as follows :

Transport Ground Drive : 7.50" x 20" - 40 psi (2,7 bars) Contact Drive : 4.10" x 8"- 60 psi (4 bars)

Operation

http://hespareparts.com

OPERATING SPEED

The operating speed needs to be selected as a function of :

- The desired consistency in the row

- The ground conditions

- The density of the seed

A high speed is not conducive to accuracy, especially in rough or rocky conditions which causes the unit to bounce.

Likewise, a high seed density may cause the disc to rotate fast, burdening the metering.

It should also be noted, and especially for corn, the misshapen and angular seeds are difficult to sow regularly, especially at high working speeds.

A base speed of 3 ½ to 4 ½ mph (5/7 km/h) assures good results for most seeds in the majority of conditions. However when planting corn at lighter population more than 6” (15 cm) between the seed, 5/6 mph (8/10 km/h) is quite possible.

For planting of high seed population such as peanuts, edible beans, and kidney beans, best results can be obtained by not going faster than ¾ mph (4,5/6 km/h).

STANDARD RATE DRIVE

Seed planting rate charts are based on the standard rate drive. The standard rate drive uses a 30 tooth sprocket on each contact drive tire.

IMPORTANT : After each sprocket combination adjustment, make a field check to be sure you planting at the desired rate.

Operation

http://hespareparts.com

CONTACT DRIVE WHEEL SPRING ADJUSTMENT

There are two down pressure springs on each contact drive wheel. The down pressure is factory pre-set and should need no further adjustment.

The spring tension is set leaving 2 ¼" between the spring plug and the bolt head.

TIRE SCRAPER

Due to the clearance between the wheel assembly and the transport tire when a planter is equipped with the 20" transport tire, a tire scrapper should always be used. This will help prevent a build-up of dirt/mud between the wheel arm assembly and the tire. Adjust the scrapper so it does not contact the tire.

Standard 20" tire

RIDGE PLANTING

For ridge planting mount the 20" tires in the lower rear holes in the ground drive wheel arm to raise the bar height 3". Mount the contact drive wheel arm and springs in the lower set of mounting holes in the wheel module mount and raise the hitch height to maintain fore and aft levelness.

TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT

Planting population rate changes are made at the end mounted transmission. The planter is designed to allow simple, rapid changes in sprockets to obtain the desired planting population. By removing the lynch pins on the hexagon shafts, sprockets can be interchanged with those from the sprocket storage rod bolted to the transmission.

Chain tension is controlled by a springloaded dual sprocket idler. The idler assembly is adjusted with a ratchet arm. This arm has a release position to remove spring tension for replacing sprockets. The amount of spring tension on the chain can be controlled by the ratchet arm.

The planting rate chart on the following pages of this section will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket combinations.

WARNING: Always make sure safety/warning lights, reflectors and SMV emblem are in place and visible prior to transporting the machine on public roads. In this regard, check federal, state/provincial and local regulations.

WARNING: Always install safety lockups on lift cylinders and make sure wing lockup pins are in place to secure wings at hitch.

TRACTOR PLANTING SEED

Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 to 8 mph. See “planting and application rate charts”. Variations in ground speed will produce variations in rates.

NOTE : Due to a multitude of variables, seed spacing can be adversely affected at speeds above 5,5 mph.

FIELD TEST

With any change of field and/or planting conditions, seed size or planter adjustment, we recommend a field test be made to ensure proper seed placement and operation of row units. See “Rate Charts”, “Checking Seed Population”, and “Checking Granular Chemical Application Rate” at end of this section :

 Check the planter for fore to aft and

lateral level operation. See “Leveling The Planter”.

 Check all row units to be certain they are

running level. When planting, the row unit parallel arms should be approximately parallel to the ground.

 Check row markers for proper operation

and adjustment. See “Marker Adjustment” and “Marker Speed Adjustment”.

 Check for proper application rates and

placement of granular chemicals on all rows. See “Checking Granular Chemical Application Rate”.

 Check for desired depth placement and

seed population on all rows. See “Checking Seed Population”.

After the planter has been field tested, reinspect the machine :

 Hoses and fittings  Bolts and nuts  Cotter pins and spring pins  Drive chain alignment

MARKER SPEED ADJUSMENT

The marker hydraulic system includes two flow control valves. One flow control valve controls the lowering speed of both markers and one controls the raising speed of both markers. To adjust marker speed, loosen the jam nut and turn the control(s) clockwise or IN to slow the travel speed and counter clockwise or OUT to increase the travel speed. The flow controls determine the amount of oil flow restriction through the valves, therefore determining travel speed of the markers.

MARKER ADJUSTMENT

To determine the correct length at which to set the marker assemblies, multiply the number of rows by the average row spacing in inches. This provides the total planting width. Adjust the marker extension so the distance from the marker blade to the center line of the planter is equal to the total planting width previously obtained. Both the planter and marker assembly should be lowered to the ground when measurements are being taken. The measurement should be taken from the point where the blade contacts the ground. Adjust right and left marker assemblies equally and securely tighten clamping bolts. An example of marker length adjustment follows:

Number of rows x Row spacing inches = Dimension between planter center line and marker blade.

16 Rows x 30" Spacing = 480" Marker Dimension

DANGER: The flow controls should be properly adjusted before the marker assembly is first put into use. Excessive travel speed of the markers can be dangerous and/or damage the marker assembly.

NOTE: When oil is cold, hydraulics operate slowly. Make sure all adjustments are made with warm oil.

NOTE: On a tractor where the oil flow can not be controlled, the rate of flow of oil from the tractor may be greater than the rate at which the marker cylinder can accept it. The tractor hydraulic control lever will have to be held until the cylinder reaches the end of its stroke. This occurs most often on tractors with an open center hydraulic system.

On tractors with a closed center hydraulic system, the tractor's hydraulic flow control can be set so the tractor's detent will function properly.

The marker blade is installed so the concave side of the blade is outward to throw dirt away from the grease seals. The spindle bracket is slotted so the hub and blade can be angled to throw more or less dirt. To adjust the hub and spindle, loosen the 1/2" mounting hardware and move the bracket as required. Tighten bolts to the specified torque.

IMPORTANT: A marker blade assembly that is set at a sharper angle than necessary will add unnecessary stress to the complete marker assembly and shorten the life of bearings and blades. Set the blade angle only as needed to leave a clear mark.

A field test is recommended to ensure the markers are properly adjusted. After the field test is made, make any minor adjustments as necessary.

PLANTER METERING UNIT NG PLUS 2

The NG Plus 2 metering unit in fig. 40 is shown with standard features. Other options are available for specific conditions or uses.

The drive chain is mounted as per fig. 41.

The individual disengaging of a metering unit is possible by removing the lynch pin (rep.1) of by disconnecting the vacuum hose.

The seed depth is adjusted by the handwheel (rep.2) which changes the height of the 2 depth wheels (rep.3) in relation to the furrow disc openers (rep.4). A sticker close to the handwheel, provided with a gradual scale, ensures the uniformity of the depth control on all row units of the planter.

The furrow opener and ground adjustment system guarantees an accurate and regular seed depth in all types of soil and conditions because the depth wheels are positioned perpendicular to the falling point of seeds.

The two rear press wheels (rep.5) affect only the closing of the seed furrow. They float independently and therefore do not have any effect on the ground engaging. Their soil pressure is regulated by the handwheel (rep.6). This pressure has to be chosen carefully in order to assure proper seed to soil contact. Soil should be pressed over the complete length of the row. This setting depends on the type and humidity of the soil.

In order for the furrow disc opener to remain properly cleaned, the 2 gauge wheels (rep.3) have to touch (without pinching their outside circumference). After starting up the planter, the factory assembly may need readjustment.

Adjust gauge wheel spacing by putting the washers (rep.7) from one side of the articulating arms to the other.

Adjust the pressure of the scrapers of discs by tightening or loosening the bolts (rep.8). Before and during each new planting season, check if the seed tubes (rep.9) are in good condition as consistent and regular

seeding will depend on this. Do not hesitate to replace them if they are worn or damaged. To replace them, remove pin (rep.10) after removing the gauge wheel and furrow disc opener on one side (Fig.42).

The function of clod removers (rep.11) is to clear the surface of the soil but not to plow a furrow. One use of the front brace of the clod remover is to slice open hard soil and move stones away from the track of the disc opener. They need to be adjusted accordingly. Using them in stony soils may be a problem because they can cause clogging and blocking. In this case it is better to choose an assembly with a flexible support bracket (fig. 43) which is efficient in difficult soil conditions.

METERING BOX

The plastic wear gasket 5 on which the seed disc rotates should be smooth and in good condition. Under normal operating conditions, it should be replaced only after 500 to 1000 ha (1250 to 2500 acres). The metal brace 7 should be positioned with its tab notched in the hole of the housing. The outer edge of the plastic wear gasket is then rotating , and is then held in position by cup 6 and 3 bolts. (Fig.33)

NOTE : Thoroughly clean the metering box housing, before installing a new wear gasket. Any residue left from previous use will not allow the gasket to fit in the proper position.

Operation

http://hespareparts.com

A sheet metal shutter 1 is mounted inside the cover B. This shutter regulate the flow of seeds coming from the hopper and provide a constant and sufficient level in front of the disc. According to the seed used, the shutter as to be checked and adjusted at 2 different positions before planting:

1. High position : For large seeds such as corn , soybean, edible beans, peanuts, cotton, etc.

2.Low position (fig.35) : For small seeds such as sunflower, beet, sorghum, etc. This position should also be used for large seeds when the planter has to work for several hundred meters (1000 or more) on slopes of more than 20%.

The shutter is adjusted by lowering it after loosening the two bolts 2. A small plastic sheet 3 located under the shutter is also used to limit the level of seeds in front of the disc .

Before beginning your season, make sure that it is in good condition.

A special metering box cover with a larger opening (to improve the seed flow into the seed chamber), a large discharge channel (to avoid blockage) , and a special less

aggressive seed scraper (to avoid skips) are available for the planting of large seeds such as peanuts, kidney beans and large squash.

Fig.35

A special metal shutter is available for planting small seeds such as cabbage , rape seed, etc. to reduce the seed flow into the seed chamber.

A special ejector block maybe needed to eliminate bridging in the discharger channel in the cover for large peanuts and large squash seed.

The ejector block 4 enables the seeds to fall regularly. For this purpose, it is recommended to check its conditions periodically.

Operation

http://hespareparts.com

METERING ADJUSTMENT

Two factors influence the degree of seed:

1.The position of the seed scraper in relation to the holes of the disc. It is therefore necessary to adjust the eight of the scraper as needed for each seed type.

2.The degree of suction (depression) at the seed disc. It is therefore necessary to adjust the degree of suction to the weight of the seed to be planted;

Fig.36

The (patented) MONOSEM system allows a unique adjustment (fig. 36-37).

• To adjust the height of the scraper and at the same time

• To adapt the degree of suction to the weight and size of the seed.

Fig.37

When the indicator 1 is positioned to the “+” (fig 36) it raises the scraper over the holes of the disc and increases the degree of suction (closing the size of the hole 2) . This may cause doubles if raised too high.

When the indicator 1 is positioned to (fig 37). It lower the scraper over the holes and reduces the degree of suction (opening the size of the hole 2) . This may cause skipping if too low.

A control window in the cover allows you to monitor the results.

TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT

The planting rate chart on the following pages of this section will aid you in selecting the correct sprocket combinations.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

An optional hydraulic drive for the turbofan is available. You must then double check that there is adequate oil flow for the turbofan to run at 500 rpm. Use an rpm gauge to check, placing it at the center of the lower pulley.

A vacuum gauge may also be mounted to the turbofan. (The vacuum gauge is standard equipment when ordering the hydraulic drive).
