Please adhere to these hints and be especially careful in such cases.. Please pass on all operator safety hints also to other users of this machine. Besides the hints in this operator instruction also the general safety and accident preventive advice should be adhered to. 4.2 Attention symbol ? This symbol will always be found in such places of this instruction book whichshould especially be adhered to in order to comply with rules, advice, hints and the correct procedure of the operation as well as to prevent damage to the implement. 4.3 Hint Symbol G46 This symbol marks machine's specific points which should be observed to ensure the correct operation Safety Advice 4 - 3 4.4 Important hints The AMAZONE SEED DRILL PNEUMATIC AD-P has exclusively been designed for the usual operation in agriculture (designed use of the machine). 2. Any use beyond the one stipulated above is no longer considered as designed use. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulting from this; therefore the operator himself carries the full risk. 3. Under "designed use" also adhering to the manufacturer's prescribed operation maintenance and repair conditions as well as the exclusive use of original AMAZONE spare parts is to be understood. 4. The AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P may only be operated, maintained and repaired by such persons who have been made acquainted with it and who have been advised about the dangers. Any damages or injuries resulting from arbitrary changes on the machine rule out the responsibility of the manufacturer. 5. All applicable accident preventive advice as well as any further generally accepted safety-, working- medical- and road-traffic rules should be adhered to. Furthermore any existing law regarding the protection of crops as well as any safety advice on the machines' labels should also be adhered to. 6. Please follow carefully all safety advice in this instruction book and on the machine. 7. Unagreed modifications to the machine exclude a liability by the manufacturer for resulting damages.. 8. Deviations of the seed rate or even total misses of individual rows cannot fully be excluded, even though we have produced the machine with utmost care and you have used the machine according to the intention of its design. Such faults can e. g. be caused by: - varying composition of the seed (e.g. distribution of grain size, dressings, bulk density, geometrical shape). - Drift alongside slopes or errors when travelling along the earlier bout. - Blockages or bridgings, e. g. by strange particles, residue of bags etc. - Undulations of the terrain. - Wear to wearing parts (e. g. metering wheels etc.) - Damage from outside influences. - Wrong pto speeds and forward speeds. - Wrong setting of the machine (incorrect mounting, incorrect determination of the gearbox setting). Therefore, check and ensure that your machine is functioning correctly before and during use. Claims regarding damage not occuring to the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P itself will be rejected. Modifications made to the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P by the owner/user may result in damage and therefore the manufacturer does not accept liability for such damage. In case of willful intent or gross negligence on the part of the owner or a responsible employee, the manufacturer is not exempt from liability. According to product liability law, this exemption also applies in cases where liability is given for damage to persons or property on privately used machinery as a result of errors at the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P. Neither is the manufacturter exempt from liability in the case of errors involving features that have been explicitly guaranteed not to fail if this guarantee is spefically aimed at covering the purchaser against damage not caused to the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P. 4 - 4 Safety Advice 4.5 General safety and accident prevention advice Basic principle: Always check traffic and operation safety before putting the machine to operation. 1. Adhere to the general rules of health- and safety precautions besides the advice in this instruction manual. 2. The fitted warning- and advising plates give important hints for sa safe operation; adhering to them protects your own safety. 3. When making use of public roads adhere to applicable traffic rules. 4. Become acquainted with all installations and controlling devices as well as with their function before beginning with the operation. Doing this during operation would be too late. 5. The clothing of the oeprator should fit well, Avoid wearing any loose clothing. 6. To avoid danger of fire keep your machine clean. 7. Before beginning to drive, check surrounding area (children etc.). Ensure sufficient visibility. 8. Sitting or standing on the implement during operation or during transport is not permissible. 9. Attach implements as advised and only to the advised devices. 10. Special care should be taken when the implement is coupled to or off the tractor. 11. When attaching or removing the machine bring the supporting devices into the corresponding position (standing safety). 12. Fit counter-weights always as advised to the fixing points provided for that purpose on the tractor. 13. Adhere to the maximum permissible axle loads, total weights and transport measurements. 14. Fit and check transport gear, traffic lights, warnings and guards. 15. The release ropes for quick coupler should hang freely and in the lowered position must not release by themselves. 16. During driving never leave the operator's seat. 17. Mount the implement as prescribed. Moving behaviour, steerability and braking are influenced by mounted implements, trailers and ballast weights. Check sufficient steerability and braking. 18. When lifting a three-point-implement the front axle load of the tractor is reduced depending on its size. The sufficient front axle load (20 % of the tractor net weight) has to be observed. 19. When driving round bends note the width of the machine and/or the changing centre of gravity of the implement. Safety Advice 4 - 5 20. Never stay or allow anyone to stay within the operating area 21. Never stay within the turning- or swivelling area of the machine 22. Hydraulic folding frames should only be actuated if no persons are staying in the slewing area. 24. In the area of the three point linkage there is danger of injury by its squeezing and shearing places. 24. Before leaving the tractor lower the machine to the ground. Actuate the parking brake, stop the engine and remove ignition key. 25. Allow nobody to stand between tractor and implement if the tractor is not secured against rolling away by the parking brake and/or by the supplied chocks. 26. Secure marker arms in transport positon. 4.6 Safety advice for implements mounted to the tractor's three point linkage When fitting the machine to the three point linkage of the tractor bring all control levers into such a position that unintended lifting of lowering is impossible. 2. When fitting to the three-point linkage the mounting categories on the tractor and the implement must strictly be compatible or must be made compatible. 3. In the area of the three point linkage there is danger of injury by its squeezing and shearing places. 4. When actuating the control levers for the three-point linkage never step between tractor and implement 5. In the transport position of the implement ensure that the tractor three-point linkage is locked against movement to the sides. 6. For travelling on public roads with a lifted implement lock the control lever against unintended lowering. 4 - 6 Safety Advice 4.7 Safety advice for the hydraulic system The hydraulic system is under high pressure. 2. Connecting hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic rams and motors according to the advice in the instructions. 3. When fitting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic sockets always ensure that the hydraulic system on the tractor as well as on the implement is without pressure. 4. To avoid wrong hydraulic connection, sockets and plugs should be marked (e. g. colour coded). This helps to prevent contrary function (lifting instead of lowering or vice versa) and reduces the danger of accident. 5. Regularly check hydraulic hoses and pipe lines and exchange if found defective. The replacement hoses and pipe lines must meet with the implement manufacturer's technical standards. 6. When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used because of the danger of injury. 7. Liquids leaking under high pressure (Diesel fuel, hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. When injured see a doctor immediately Danger of infection 8. Before starting to do repair work to the hydraulic system relieve it from pressure by actuating the control lever accordingly, lower machine to the ground and stop tractor engine. 9. The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a possible storing period of two years maximum. Also when stored and used properly hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be accepted by the Health- and Safety Authorities depending on the experience they have had and the danger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermoplasts other guide lines may prevent. 4.8 Safety advice for the operation of seed drills During the calibration test pay attention to danger of injury by rotating and oscillating machinery parts. 2. Use the steps only when refilling. Staying on the steps during the field operation or during transport is prohibited. 3. For road transport the marker arms and discs must be removed. 4. When refilling the seed box note hints by the implement manufacturer. 5. Arrest markers in transport position. 6. Do not place any parts inside the seed box. 7. Do not exceed the maximum permissible payload of the seed box. Safety Advice 4 - 7 4.9 Safety regulation for operation with pto shafts Use only pto shafts which are designed for the implement and which are equipped with all legally requested guardings (CE marked). 2. Guard tubes and cones of the pto shaft as well as a tractor and implement side pto guard must be fitted and kept in a proper condition. 3. At pto shafts always see the advised tube is overlapping in transport- and operating position. 4. Fit and remove the pto shaft only when engine is stopped and ignition key is removed. 5. Ascertain correct fitting and securing of the pto support. 6. Prevent pto guard from spinning by fixing the provided chain to a nearby static part. 7. Before switching on the pto shaft ensure that the chosen pto speed of the tractor corresponds to the allowable implement input speed. 8. When using the ground-related pto take into account that the pto speed depends on the driving speed and that the turning direction is reversed when driving backwards. 9. Before switching on the pto shaft take care that no one stays in the danger zone of the implement. 10. Never switch on the tractor pto while engine is stopped. 11. When operating with a switched-on pto shaft allo no one to stay near to the spinning pto- or universal joint shaft. 12. Always stop pto when it is not needed or when the shaft is in an adverse position. 13. Attention: After switching off the pto the mounted implement may continue to run by its dynamic mass. During this period never come too close to the implement. Begin to work on the implement only after it has come to a full standstill. 14. Clean and grease the universal joint shaft and the pto driven implement only after the pto shaft and engine have been stopped and ignition key removed. 15. Place the uncoupled pto shaft on the retaining device provided. 16. When travelling in curves mind the permissible angling and length of sliding of the pto shaft. 17. After removal of pto shaft apply guard cap onto pto stub. 18. Immediately repair any damages before operation to avoid consequential problems. 4 - 8 Safety Advice Fig. 4.1 MD 082 MD 083 MD 084 MD 078 MD 095 Safety Advice 4 - 9 4.10 Warning pictographs and hint stickers on the machine Warning pictographs indicate dangerous points on the machine.

Blower fan with pto drive 11 - 1 Contents 12.0 Blower fan with pto drive for KE/KG with shift main gearbox ............................................................................12 - 2 11 - 2 Blower fan with pto drive 11.0 Blower fan with pto drive for KG/KE with shift main gearbox Precondition for a continuous flow of seed is a constant speed of the blower fan. When the AD-P is being operated in combination with an AMAZO- NE rotary cultivator (KG) or an AMAZONE rotary harrow (KE) with shift main gearbox (Fig. 11.1/1) the blower fan (Fig. 11.2/1) can be driven with a constant pto speed via the shift main gearbox. Necessary for this is that the shift main gearbox is equipped with an angle gearbox (Fig. 11.1/2). The angle gearbox is plugged onto the rear pto through drive shaft (Fig. 11.1/3) of the gearbox and has to be secured with a washer (Fig. 11.1/4) and a clip pin (Fig. 11.1/5). Before doing this affix the mounting plate (fig. 11.1/6) to the gearbox cover by using longer hex. bolts (fig. 11.1/7). The hex. nuts (Fig. 11.1/8) are used as spacers. Follow the safety advice according to para. 4.9 Before you connect the pto shaft (Fig. 11.2/2) to the angle gearbox (Fig. 11.1/2): Switch off the tractor pto shaft, the tractor engine and remove the ignition key. Before starting bring the tractor pto speed to the required 1000 R.P.M.: The blower fan speed then is 3600 R.P.M. The speed of the blower fan can be checked with the electronic monitoring controlling and governing system “AMADOS”. The V-belt drive (Fig. 11.2/3) is equipped with a centrifugal force coupling.

The required blower fan speed you may find in Fig. 12.1. It can be set at the pressure limiting valve (Fig. 12.2/2). At tractors with controllable hydraulic pump (Fig. 12.2/4) the necessary oil volume should be set and the oil stream control valve of the tractor and the pressure limiting valve (fig. 12.2/2) should be set in such a way that the oil volume is as little as possible. Larger oil volumes then necessary are led back into the oil tank by the pressure limiting valve and lead to unnecessary heating up of the hydraulic oil. The blower speed is changing until the hydraulic oil has reached its operational temperature. At the first use the blower speed should be corrected until the operational temperature of the hydraulic oil has been reached. If the blower is used after a longer period of standstill, the preset blower speed will only be reached after the hydraulic oil has reached the operational temperature. ? 952794 AD-P / FRS / FPS max. 3800 3,0 m 2700 3400 4,0 m 2700 3500 4,5 m 2800 3600 6,0 m 2800 3600 Blower fan speeds (R.P.M.)

Follow safety advice according to para. 4.7 In order not to damage the hydrostatic motor the oil pressure in the return flow (Fig. 12.2/5) must not exceed 10 bar. Therefore never connect the return flow to the control valve (Fig. 12.2/7) but to a pressure-less return flow with a large plug coupling (Fig. 12.2/10) Should it become necessary to in- stall a new return flow tubing, use only tubes DN 16 (e.g. diam. 20 x 2.0 mm) and short return flow ways. The hydraulic oil must be guided through an oil filter (Fig. 12.2/6) at any place of choice. Fig. 12.2 5 2 8 64 1 implement side tractor side 7 10 9 3 12 - 4 Blower fan with hydrostatic motor drive Particles of dirt can damage the blower hydrostatic motor (Fig. 12.2/1) and the pressure limiting valve (Fig. 12.2/2). For this reason always keep clean the coupling parts when connecting the blower hydro- static motor to the tractor’s hydraulic to avoid the hydraulic oil becoming dirty. Should it be necessary to drive besides of the blower hydrostatic motor yet another hydrostatic motor both motors should be switched parallel. When switching both motors in line the maximum permissible oil pressure of 10 bar will be always exceeded behind the first motor. If the blower hydrostatic motor has to be connected to different tractors, one should make sure that the type of oil in the hydraulic circuits is compatible. Unpermissible mixing of various hydraulic oils may lead to defects on hydraulic components. The return flow hydraulic oil must never be guided through control valves as the oil pressure would hereby exceed the maximum pressure of 10 bar. The check valves (Fig. 12.2/3) allow the blower fan to run after as soon as the control valve (Fig. 12.2/7) has been shut off. The hydraulic oil must never get too hot. Large oil delivery amounts in conjunction with small oil tanks promote the quick heating up of the hydraulic oil. The capacity of the oil tank (Fig. 12.2/8) should at least have the double of the oil delivery amount. If the oil heats up too much, the installation of an oil cooler on the tractor by a professional workshop is necessary.

The desired seed rate is set by the gearbox setting lever (Fig. 21.1/2). By the gearbox setting lever (Fig. 21.1/ 2) the speed of the metering shaft and thus the seed rate can be set steples- sly. The higher the figure on the scale (fig. 21.1/3) has been chosen by the gearbox setting lever, the higher the seed rate will get. ? After every setting on the gearbox setting lever a calibration test should be conducted toconfirm that at the later sowing the desired seed rate is obtained. This test should also be conducted - when changing from the main metering wheel to the fine seed metering wheel or vice versa. - Before sowing a new supply of seed (reason: deviations in grain size, grain shape, bulk density and seed dressings). 2 3 1 Fig. 21.1 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 3 Fig. 21.3 Remove thumb nut (Fig. 21.2/2) which holds the calibration tray (Fig. 21.2/1).

The number of crank turns refers to an area of 1/40 ha (250 m²) rep. 1/10 ha (1000 m"). Usually the crank turns for 1/40 ha are used. At extre- mely small seed rates (e. g. for rape or when using sca- les with a rough division) it is recommended to take the crank turns for 1/10 ha. This table is placed on the seed drill. Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 7 For other working widths than stated in the table (Fig. 21.10) the necessary number of the crank turns can be calculated as follows: Please take the conversion factor from the table in Fig. 21.10 Fig. 21.11 Weight of the seed collected in the calibration tray (Fig. 21.11/1) and multiply either by • factor "40" (for 1/40 ha) or • factor "10" (for 1/10 ha). 1 Crank turns for 1/40 ha (250 mCrank turns for 1/40 ha (250 mCrank turns for 1/40 ha (250 mCrank turns for 1/40 ha (250 mCrank turns for 1/40 ha (250 m22222))))) = Conversion factor working width (m) Crank turns for 1/10 ha (1000 mCrank turns for 1/10 ha (1000 mCrank turns for 1/10 ha (1000 mCrank turns for 1/10 ha (1000 mCrank turns for 1/10 ha (1000 m22222))))) = Conversion factor working width (m) 21 - 8 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate Calibrating for 1/40 ha: collected seed rate (for 1/40 ha) x 40 (factor) seed rate [kg/ha] = ha Calibrating for 1/10 ha: collected seed rate (for 1/10 ha) x 10 (factor) seed rate [kg/ha] = ha Example: Calibrating for 1/40 ha collected seed 3,2 kg 3,2 kg x 40 seed rate [kg/ha] = = 125 [kg/ha] ha G46 Sowing by the main metering wheelsYou should always use both main metering wheels (white and orange) simultaneously as long as the seed rate allows to do so. If it is required for very small seed rates to use a gearbox setting smaller than "15" one of the two main seed metering wheel should be shut off. The gearbox setting can then be increased. G46 Disc rule for seed rate calculationUsually one does not achieve the desired seed rate with the first gearbox setting. With the aid of the seed rate calculation disc rule (Fig. 21.12) is is possible to determine the gearbox setting figure with the first gearbox setting figure and the calculated seed rate. G46 Gearbox gearAt unusually large seed rates and wide row spacings it may occasionally happen that with the gearbox setting number "100" the desired seed rate has not been obtained. In this case the "fast gear" has to be set. The procedure for this you may find in the detailed description under para. 21.2. ? Seed rate remote controlIf the seed drill has been equipped with the hydraulic seed rate remote control, determine the gearbox setting with the pressurized hydraulic ram for the increased seed rate. After having determined the correct gearbox setting • place the calibration crank back into the retainer (Fig. 21.5 resp. Fig. 21.6) and secure by clip pin • fix calibration tray (Fig. 21.2/1) to the seed box • shut flap (Fig. 21.3/2) • Insert clip pin (Fig. 21.7/1) into the intermediate drive of the tyre packer roller Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 9 21.1 Determining the gearbox setting with the aid of the disc rule The desired seed rate usually is not obtained after the first setting of the gearbox. However, with the aid of the disc rule it is possible to determine the correct gearbox setting by using the gearbox setting figure of the first calibration test at the calculated seed rate. The disc rule consists of three scales: One outer white scale (Fig. 21.12/1) for all seed rates above 30 kg/ ha and an inner white scale (Fig. 21.12/2) for all seed rates below 30 kg/ha. On the central, coloured scale (Fig. 21.12/3) gearbox settings from "1 to 100" are printed. Example: Wanted is a seed rate of 125 kg/ha. - At the first setting, the gearbox setting lever is brought to the set- ting position "70". It is possible to choose also any other gearbox setting figure. In this case a seed rate of 175 kg/ha has been calcu- lated. - Align the seed rate 175 kg/ha (Fig. 21.12/A) and the gearbox setting figure "70" (Fig. 21.12/B) on the disc rule. - Now read off the disc rule the ge- arbox setting figure for the desired seed rate of 125 kg/ha (Fig. 21.12/C). In our example that is the gearbox setting figure "50" (Fig. 21.12/D). - Recheck the gearbox setting figu- re which you have determined by the disc rule as described under para. 21.0. Fig. 21.12 21 - 10 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 3 4 2 1 1 Fig. 21.13 Fig. 21.14 1 1 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 11 21.2 Setting the gearbox gear ratio Inside the gearbox a set of exchange pinions is mounted by which two speeds can be set: Ex works the gearbox is set to the "slow speed" range. In case of unusually large seed rates and wide row spacings it may occasionally happen that the gearbox setting "100" with the slow speed will not bring the desired seed rate. In this case the "fast speed" should be set. G46 The "fast speed" should only be used if the desired seed rate cannot be obtained in the "slowspeed" range . Changing the gearing - Open the lid (Fig. 21.13/2) after removing the thumb nut (Fig. 21.13/3) and the two thumb nuts (Fig. 21.13/4) . - Remove the pinion from the shaft and reinsert after turning: • in the "slow speed" the pinion (Fig. 21.13/1) is meshing with the second pinion • in the "fast gear" the pinion (Fig. 21.14/1) runs freely unengaged. - Put lid (Fig. 21.13/2) back in place. ? After any changing of the gearbox into another speed range the desired seed rate shouldbe determined and set as described in para. 21.0. slow speed fast speed (see Fig. 21.13) (see Fig. 21.14) 21 - 12 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21.3 Seed rate deviations between the setting and sowing To avoid deviations between the setting of the seed rate and the later sowing and to achieve a uniform distribution of the seed to all coulters, please note the following hints: When sowing dressed seeds The distributor head should regularily be checked and cleaned after every day of operation. When sowing moist dressed seeds The seed should "age" at least for one week (better two weeks) after moist dressing and sowing, to avoid deviations between the calibration test and the seed rate. In case of wheel slip In case of wheel slip the drive wheel (not at tyre packer rollers) for the metering units turns on very light and loose soil less as at a same distance on very firm cloddy soils. In case of high wheel slippage the number of crank turns for determining the gearbox setting should be newly determined. For this one measures on the field an area of 250 m². This corresponds at a machine with 2,50 m working width = 100,0 m travelled distance 3,00 m working width = 83,3 m travelled distance 4,00 m working width = 62,5 m travelled distance 4,50 m working width = 55,5 m travelled distance 6,00 m working width = 41,7 m travelled distance The number of crank turns is then counted when travelling the measured travelled distance. With this number of crank turns then the gearbox setting should be determined according to para. 21.0.

In case the machine is equipped with roll disc coulters with depth limiters (option) and if the desi- red planting depth cannot be achieved by turning the adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1/1) all roll disc coulter depth limiters would have to be readjusted according to para. 22.3.1. The fine adjustment then is again conducted by the adjustment spindle. G46 The placement depth of the seed shouldbe checked after every setting accor- ding to para. 22.0 For actuating the adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1/1) the coulter pressure adjustment crank (Fig. 22.1/2) has to be plugged onto the square end of the adjustment spindle. The coulter pressure adjustment crank (Fig. 22.2/1) is placed in a retainer on the left hand frame part. Fig. 22.2 1 2 Fig. 22.1 1 22.0 Setting the placement depth of the seed One of the most important preconditions for high yields is maintaining the constant placement depth of the seed. The placement depth is achieved by the coulter pressure. Your seed drill is equipped as standard with a central coulter pressure adjustment which applies an even pressure to all coulters. ? Check the seed placement depth always before starting the operation:Travel with the seed drill on the field approx. 30 m with the later operational speed, check the placement depth of the seed and readjust if necessary. The central coulter pressure adjustment can either be conducted by an adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1) or by a hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3, option) . The seed placement adjustment by hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3) is recommended preferedly when having varying types of soil within one plot. It allows to control the coulter pressure from the tractor cab during operation when changing from normal soil to heavier soil or vice versa. Setting the placement depth of the seed 22 - 3 22.2 Setting the placement depth of the seed by a hydraulic ram (option) The coulter pressure and thus the placement depth can centrally be set by a hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3/ 1). During the operation the coulter pressure can be increased in areas with heavier soils. The hydraulic ram has to be connected to a single acting control valve. ? The hydraulic coulter pressure adjust-ment is coupled with the hydraulic seed rate remote control (if existing). If the coulter pressure is increased automati- cally also the seed rate will be increased. When supplied the setting mechanism is mounted to the seed drill and the hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3/1) is connected to the connecting unit II” (Fig. 22.4/1), with which your seed drill is also equipped. Connect the connecting unit II to the single acting control valve on the tractor. When actuating the control valve simulta- neously the hydraulic ram of the coulter pressure adjustment and of the seed rate remote control are pressurised. Ask people to leave the area of danger Danger of injury on moving parts 1 Fig. 22.3 1 Fig. 22.4 22 - 4 Setting the placement depth of the seed Two pins (Fig. 22.5/3 and Fig. 22.5/4) function as limiter for the hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.5/1) in the setting segment. When the hy- draulic ram is without pressure the top of it rests on the pin (Fig. 22.5/3) and when the hydraulic ram is pressurised it rests on the pin (Fig. 22.5/4) Setting the normal coulter pres- sure - Pressurise hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.5/1) . - Insert pin (Fig. 22.5/3) into one of the holes of the qua- drant plate and secure by a clip pin (Fig. 22.5/2) . The further the pin (Fig. 22.5/3) is inserted into a hole to the right, the higher the coulter pressure will become.Fig. 22.5 431 2 Fig. 22.6 Increasing the coulter pressure - Relieve the hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.6/1) from pressure. - Insert the pin (Fig. 22.6/3)into a hole of the quadrant plate and secure with clip pin (Fig. 22.6/2) . The further the pin (Fig. 22.6/3) is moved to a right hand hole, the higher the coulter pressure will become. 3 2 1 If the roll disc coulters are equipped with depth limiters (option) and if the desired planting depth cannot be achieved by resetting the pins, all roll disc depth limiters will have to be readjusted according to para. 22.3.1. The fine adjustment then will have to be done by resinserting the pins as described earlier. ? Always check the planting depth of the seed before starting the operation: Travel with the seed drill on the field a distance of approx. 30 m with the later intended forward speed and check the planting depth of the seed and readjust if necessary. Setting the placement depth of the seed 22 - 5 Fig. 22.7 22.3 Setting the planting depth of the seed by resetting the depth limiters of the roll disc coulters To ensure the seed depth placement will be main- tained throughout the field even in changing soil conditions, the roll disc coulters can be equipped with depth limiters (Fig. 22.7/1 [option]). When having ordered the seed drill with depth limiters they have been fitted by the factory to a placement depth of approx. 2.5 cm for medium heavy soils (Always check the placement depth of the seed before starting the operation). For slightly increasing the planting depth the coulter pressure may be increased according to para. 22.1 resp. para. 22.2. ? Extremely high coulter pressure may leadto pre-mature wear of the depth limiters. If the desired placement depth cannot be achieved by changing the coulter pressure or if the wear of the depth limiters should be avoided by too high a coulter pressure, all depth limiters (Fig. 22.7/1) should uniformly be readjusted according to para. 22.3.1. 22.3.1 Fitting and setting roll disc depth limiters First fitting Insert depth limiter (Fig. 22.8/1) into the hole provi- ded (Fig. 22.8/2) of the roll disc coulter and at first tighten hex. bolt (Fig. 22.8/3) loosely. Setting the depth limiter Readjust all depth limiters (Fig. 22.8/1) uniformly, e. g. all pointers (Fig. 22.8/5) should be set into the same position. The V- cuttings (Fig. 22.8/6) of the roll disc coulter function as a setting aid. Slacken (do not remove) hex. nut (Fig. 22.8/4) before and retighten firmly afterwards. 1 Fig. 22.8 1 2 5 6 3 4 22 - 6 Setting the placement depth of the seed The setting of the depth limiter from one V-cut- ting (Fig. 22.9) to the next corresponds to a change in the seed placement depth by approx. 1.5 cm on medium heavy soils. The more the pointer (Fig. 22.9/1) is moved to the right hand, the deeper the seed placement will become. The setting as shown in Fig. 22.9 corresponds to a seed placement depth of approx. 2.5 cm on medi- um heavy soil. Fig. 22.9 G46 Check the seed placement depth on the field after every setting Slight changes in the placement depth of the seed may then be set with the aid of the coulter pressure adjustment according to para. 22.1 resp. para. 22.2 G46 In sticky soil conditionsset your depth limiter in such a way that one has to operate with high coulter pressure. The seed placement depth will not change, even if soil sticks to the front side of the roll disc coulter. 1 Markers 23 - 1 Contents 23.0 Markers .........................................................................................................................23 - 2 23.1 Fitting marker arms ........................................................................................................23 - 4 23.2 Bringing markers into operational position .....................................................................23 - 5 23.3 Bringing markers into transport position ........................................................................23 - 6 23.4 Setting the marker arms to the correct length ................................................................23 - 7 23.5 Obstacles in the field ......................................................................................................23 - 8 23.6 Safety shear pins ...........................................................................................................23 - 8 23 - 2 Markers 23.0 Markers The seed drill is equipped with two markers (Fig. 23.1) for marking a trace in the tractormarking a trace in the tractormarking a trace in the tractormarking a trace in the tractormarking a trace in the tractor centre.centre.centre.centre.centre. After turning on the headland the tractor follows the centrally marked trace when travelling the next bout. The trace is marked during sowing from one marker disc (Fig. 23.1/1). After turning on the headland the marker (Fig. 23.2/1) is lifted and the opposite marker begins to operate. Fig. 23.1 Fig. 23.2 1 1 Markers 23 - 3 On the field end the markers are switched over by the connecting valve I (Fig. 23.3/1) which is equip- ped by a single acting control valve inside the tractor cab. If, e. g. when turning on the field's end the tractor valve is actuated, the markers are switched over and the switch box of the metering wheel tramlining control (if existing) switches to the next figure. If the switch box indicates the figure "0" the shutter slides inside the distributer head close the outlets to the tramline coulters and the marker discs of the pre-emergence marker (if existing) are being lowe- red. 11111 Fig. 23.3 Every marker is being brought by a hydraulic ram (Fig. 23.4/1) - from transport position (Fig. 23.2) into operation position (Fig. 23.1) or vice versa - is lifted on the field end prior to turning - is lifted prior to obstacles and after passing the obstacles being lowered into working position again. ?

Every marker arm (Fig. 23.8/1) is fixed for transpor- ting position by a clip pin (Fig. 23.8/2) , - remove clip pin (Fig. 23.8/2) only immediately prior to the operation in the field - when not needed, insert the clip pin (Fig. 23.8/ 2) into one of the holes (Fig. 23.8/3) . G46 After removal of the clip pin (Fig. 23.8/2) the marker arm is tilting slightly to the side. Ask people to leave the danger area and bring the marker arms to operational position by actuating the tractor control valve inside the tractor cab. Fig. 23.8 23 - 6 Markers 23.3 Bring markers into transport position Before transport, both marker arms will have to be fixed to the seed drill in vice versa order as mentioned in para. 23.2. The buffer blocks (Fig. 23.5/8) must never be removed and in case of wear must be replaced The buffer blocks prevent the transport securing of the markers by the clip pins to be forgotten. Fig. 23.9 1 When the tractor control valve is applying pres- sure to the ram of the markers (Fig. 23.9/1) both markers are leaning closely to the seed box: 1. for transport 2. for turning on the headland 3. when passing an obstacle in the field.

Ventil 1 2 Fig. 23.13 23.5 Obstacles in the field To avoid damages, the markers should be raised before hitting an obstacle in the field. Behind this obstacle the marker should be lowered again. However, when actuating the tractor control valve the opposite marker is lowered. Apply again pressure to the tractor control valve and as soon as the markers are raised, bring the control valve to floating position so that the correct marker is lowered. G46 To prevent that the switch box of the mete- ring wheel tramlining control (if existing) continues to shift on, the lever (Fig. 23.13/ 1) of the solenoid valve inside the tractor cab should be brought to the "stop" positi- on before raising. In this position the red checking lamp (Fig. 23.13/2) lights up.. After having lowered the correct marker behind the obstacle the solenoid valve has to be set into position "electro hydraulic valve". The figure visible in the window of the switch box must not change when passing an obstacle. 23.6 Safety shear pins If a marker hits an obstacle during operation, the marker arm can give way to the obstacle by moving to the rear.

Extra coverage following harrow 24 - 3 Fig. 24.4 1 24.1.1 Connecting hydraulic ram (option) The hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.4/1) is fitted to the extra coverage harrow when supplied . Connect the hydraulic hose (Fig. 24.4/2) to the hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.4/1) and to the "connecting unit II" (Fig. 24.5/1) with which your seed drill also has been equipped. ? Allow the hydraulic hose (Fig. 24.4/2) tohave a sufficiently large bend when fitting to the pivoting points of the link arms of the extra coverage following harrow to prevent the hose being torn apart by movement of the extra coverage following harrow. Connect the hydraulic hose (Fig. 24.5/2) of the "connecting unit II" (Fig. 24.5/1) to a single acting control valve and actuate the valve only from the tractor cab. ? The hydraulic pressure adjustment of theextra coverage following harrow is coupled to the hydraulic coulter pressure adjust- ment and the hydraulic seed rate remote control (if existing) and linked to the "con- necting unit II" (Fig. 24.5/1). If the coulter pressure is increased simultaneously also the seed rate and the pressure of the extra coverage harrow tines is increased. When actuating the control valves in the tractor cab simultaneously the hydraulic rams of the coulter pressure adjustment, of the pressure control for the extra coverage following harrow and of the seed rate remo- te control are pressurised Ask people to leave the area of danger Danger of injury on moving parts 2 Fig. 24.5 2 1 24 - 4 Extra coverage following harrow 2 3 1 Fig. 24.7 24.2 Bring outer following harrow tines into operating position Packer rollers and coulters of the seed drill throw the soil in different distances to the sides, depen- ding on the forward speed and soil condition. The outer following harrow tines (Fig. 24.7/1) have to be set in such a way that the soil is being guided backwards behind the seed drill for achieving a wheel mark-free seed bed.. The higher the forward speed the more the square tube (Fig. 24.7/2) with the outer harrow tines has to be moved outwards. The square tubes with the outer harrow tines have to be fixed in position after every setting by the clamping bolts (Fig. 24.7/3). G46 Check the setting prior to beginning the operation Travel with the later operational speed a distance of approx. 30 m with the mounted seed drill across the field. 23 0 - 2 80 23 0 - 2 80 23 0 - 2 80 23 0 - 2 80 23 0 - 2 80 m m m m m m m m m m This setting is being conducted by lengthening or shortening the top link (Fig. 24.9/1) by which the seed drill is coupled to the soil tillage implement. If the seed drill hereby is slightly tilted forwards or backwards this has nonononono influence on the seed rate sown. Should the settability of the top link (Fig. 24.1/1) be insufficient, the length of the upper parallel linkage tubes (Fig. 24.3/2) should be readjusted. 1 Fig. 24.8 Fig. 24.9 1 24.3 Position of harrow tines The spring tines (Fig. 24.8) of the extra coverage following harrow have to be set on the field in such a way that they lay about horizontally on the soil and still can move downwards by about 5 to 8 cm. The spacing between the soil and the square tube should then measure between 230 and 280 mm. Extra coverage following harrow 24 - 5 24.4 Setting harrow pressure on extra coverage following harrow without hydraulic ram The pressure by which the spring tines (Fig.24.10/ 1) of the extra coverage following harrow are pres- sing onto the soil should be set in such a way that after the seed coverage no ridge of soil remains visible on the field. Set the extra coverage following harrow pres- sure as follows: Pull the stop lever (Fig. 24.10/2) upwards. Insert the pin (Fig. 24.10/3) into a hole below the stop lever (Fig. 24.10/2) and secure by a clip pin (Fig. 24.10/4). The higher the pin is inserted into the quadrant plate, the higher the pressure of the extra coverage following harrow will be. The stop lever (Fig. 24.10/2) is actuated with the coulter pressure adjustment crank (Fig. 24.10/5) . G46 Check the settings: Before starting the operation the following harrow pressure should be checked. Travel at the later operational speed a distance of approx. 30 m in the field to be sown. Check whether the seed is uniformly covered with soil. Otherwise repeat the setting as described above. 24.5 Setting harrow tine pressure on the extra coverage following harrow with hydraulic ram The pressure by which the spring tines (Fig.24.10/ 1) of the extra coverage following harrow are pres- sed onto the ground should be set in such a way that after the seed coverage no ridge of soil is visible on the field. On fields with frequently changing soil conditions it is possible with the aid of the hydraulic extra cover- age following harrow pressure adjustment to increa- se the harrow pressure in areas with heavier soils. When changing from normal soils to heavy soils or vice versa, the coulter pressure is readjusted by a hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.11/1). 5 Fig. 24.10 2 3 1 4 5 1 Fig. 24.11 24 - 6 Extra coverage following harrow Two pins (Fig. 24.12/1 and Fig. 24.12/2) are placed as a stop for the lever (Fig. 24.12/3) in the setting segment. The lever (Fig. 24.12/3), which is actua- ted by the hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.11/1) lays on the pin I (Fig. 24.12/1) when the hydraulic ram is without pressure and it lays on pin II (Fig. 24.12/2) when the hydraulic ram has been pressurised. For setting an increased harrow pressureFor setting an increased harrow pressureFor setting an increased harrow pressureFor setting an increased harrow pressureFor setting an increased harrow pressure - make the hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.11/1) pressu- re-less. - place pin II (Fig. 24.12/2) into a hole above the lever (Fig. 24.12/3) and secure with a clip pin (Fig. 24.12/4) . For setting the normal harrow pressureFor setting the normal harrow pressureFor setting the normal harrow pressureFor setting the normal harrow pressureFor setting the normal harrow pressure - Pressurise hydraulic ram (Fig. 24.11/1) . - Place pin I (Fig. 24.12/1) into a hole of the setting segment below the lever (Fig. 24.12/3) and secure with a spring pin (Fig. 24.12/4). G46 The higher you place a pin into the holesegment, the higher the harrow pressure will get. Fig. 24.12 Fig. 24.13 G46 Check settings prior to operationTravel with your seed drill a distance on the field of approx. 30 m with the later intended operational speed and check whether the seed on light to medium heavy soils is covered with a normal harrow pressure and on heavy soils with increased pressure evenly with soil and that no ridge of soil is noticeable. 1 24.6 Road transport For transport on public roads the outer square tubes (Fig. 24.13/1) with the outer harrow elements (Fig. 24.13/2) should be inserted till the stop into the larger carrier tube. Prior to this slacken clamping bolt (Fig. 24.13/3) and retighten. In the field the outer harrow elements (Fig. 24.13/2) should be brought back into operational position according to para. 24.2 Insert outer square tubes (Fig. 24.13/1) all the way to the stop and secure with clamping bolts before transporting on public roads.2 3 1 2 4 3 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26 - 1 Contents 26.0 Tramlining control, hydraulically actuated ...............................................................26 - 2 26.1 Assembly........................................................................................................................26 - 4 26.2 Setting before starting to operate...................................................................................26 - 5 26.3 Switching off tramline control .........................................................................................26 - 8 26.4 Hints for creating tramlines with 4-, 6- and 8-fold controls .............................................26 - 9 26.5 Hints for creating tramlines with 2- and 6-fold controls ..................................................26 - 10 26.6 Checking the function of the switch box .........................................................................26 - 11 26.7 Setting the tramline spacing according to the wheel base of the husbandry tractor ......26 - 11 26.8 Setting the track width ....................................................................................................26 - 12 26.9 Equipping the switch box with another switching rhythm control ...................................26 - 13 26.10 Converting the switch box from a 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold control to another rhythm within this group ...............................................................................26 - 13 26.11 Dividing sprockets and control stickers ..........................................................................26 - 15 26.12 Converting the switch box into a 5-, 7-, 8- or 9-fold control or from one of these controls into another control .........................................................26 - 16 26.13 8-fold control ..................................................................................................................26 - 23 26 - 2 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26.0 Tramlining control, hydraulically actuated With the aid of the tramline control tramlines are created in the field in which lateron tractors and machines can operate, e. g. fertiliser broadcasters or sprayers. 2 1 2 1 2 1 20 0 0 Fig. 26.1 1 2 1 1 Tramlines are marks (Fig. 26.1/1), in which no seed is being sown.

The rhythm for creating tramlines is being control- led by the switch box (Fig. 26.2/1). The number (Fig. 26.2/2) in the switch box indicates to the tractor operator the switching position of the switch box. When the switch box shows "3" (see Fig. 26.1) the switch box shows after starting the operation the figures 2, 0, 1, 2, 0 , 1 etc. When the switch box shows the figure "0" the drill is creating a tramline. 1 Fig. 26.2 2 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26 - 3 The spacing of the tramline depends on the switching by the switch box and on the working width of the seed drill.: Fig. 26.4 The hydraulic ram (Fig. 26.4/1) inside the switch box is operated by a single acting control valve in the tractor cab. If the control valve is actuated on the edge of the field, the switch box sprocket is shifted ahead and the next figure (Fig. 26.5/1) appears in the window. ? The hydraulically actuated markers and the hydraulically actuated switch box for the tramlinecontrol are coupled to one another and connected to the connecting valve I (Fig. 26.6/1). If the control valve is actuated when turning on the headland, the markers are switched over and the switch box switches to the next figure. When the switch box shows the number "0" the shutter slides inside the distributor head are closing the outlets to the hoses leading to the tramlining coulters and the marker discs of the pre- emergence markers (if existing) are lowered. When actuating the control vavle, the hydraulic rams of the hydraulically actuated markers and the hydraulically actuated switch box are applied with pressure simultaneously Ask people to leave the area of danger Danger of injury on moving parts 1 Fig. 26.3 Switching rhythm of the Switch box Working width of the seed drill 2,5 m 3,0 m 4,0 m 4,5 m 6,0 m Spacing of the tramlines 3 9 m 12 m 18 m 4 10 m 12 m 16 m 18 m 24 m 5 15 m 20 m 30 m 6 15 m 18 m 24 m 27 m 7 21 m 28 m 8 20 m 24 m 32 m 9 27 m 2 10 m 12 m 16 m 18 m 6 plus 15 m 18 m 24 m 27 m 36 m 5 / 13 right hand 18 m 5 / 13 left hand Fig. 26.5 1 26 - 4 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26.1 Fitting On delivery of your seed drill the tramlining coulters are set to the wheel marks of your husbandry tractor and the switch box has been equipped with the switching rhythm as ordered by you.

Danger of injury When actuating the con- trol valve also the markers are actuated Ask people to leave the area of danger G46 Please pay attention that the desired mar- ker is lowered when you have set the switch box onto the correct figure - otherwi- se actuate control valve once more. To prevent that the switch box of the tramlining unit switches on, the lever (Fig. 26.12/1) of the solenoid valve inside the tractor cab has been set to "Stop" before. In this position the red control lamp (Fig. 26.12/2) is lighting up. After having lowered the correct marker the solenoid valve has to be set into position "electro hydraulic valve" ("elektr. hydr. Ventil"). 26.3 Switching off tramlining control The hydraulically actuated markers are coupled to the hydraulically actuated switch box for the tram- lining control. In case no tramlines should be crea- ted, howevedr, the markers should be operating, the switch box should not switch on when actuating the control valve. To prevent that the switch box of the tramlining unit is switching on, the lever (Fig. 26.12/1) of the solenoid valve inside the tractor cab has to be set in position "Stop". In this position the red control lamp (Fig. 26.12/2) is lighting up.. G46 In case the tramlining control has been switched off the figure (Fig. 26.11/1) in the switch box window must not show "0" as otherwise tramlines will continuously be created.

The seed drill operates during the first run on the field with half its working width. As it is impossible to operate the seed drill AD-P up to 4,5 m working width with their half working width, the first run in the field may also start with the creating of a tramline (see Fig. 26.13): - Before the beginning the first run in the field, set the switch box to figure "O". - The seed drill always operates with the full working width. - During the first run in the field, fertiliser spreaders spread to one side with boundary spread disc or border spreading devices. - During the first run in the field, one boom section of field sprayers will be switched off.

Before actuating the control valve ask people to leave the area of danger - Slacken counter nut (Fig. 26.21/2) - Turn hex. nut (Fig. 26.21/3) to the left hand (counter clockwise) until the switch box audibly switches over - Turn hex. nut (Fig. 26.21/3) two further comple- te turns and retighten counter nut - Actuate control valve and check whether the hydraulic ram in the switch box switches to the next sequence. 132 26.7 Setting the tramline to the wheel marks of the husbandry tractor Tramlines are marks in the crop in which no seed is sown. The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks has to be set to correspond to the track width of the husbandry tractor. On supply of the seed drill the tramline kit has been set to the wheel marks of your husbandry tractor. However, should it be necessary - e. g. when purchasing a new husbandry tractor - to set your tramline system onto the wheel marks of the new tractor, the seed tubes (Fig. 26.22/1) have to be interchanged for one another on the distributor head. Thereby it should be noted that the tramlining coulters are being fixed to such outlets which can be shut by the shutter slides (Fig. 26.22/2). For creating a tramline up to 3 seed outlets per track can be shut off in the distributor head. G46 Seed drills with 2-fold switching rhythmhave to be equipped with tramlining coul- ters only on the right hand side of the seed drill. G46 Seed drills with 6-plus switching rhythmhave to be equipped with tramlining coul- ters only on the left hand side of the seed drill. 2 1 Fig. 26.22 26 - 12 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26.8 Setting the width of the wheel marks If it is wanted to change the number of tramlining coulters, fit as many shutter slides to the distributor head as tramlining coulters are required. The shut- ter slides interupt the flow of seed to the tramlining coulters when creating tramlines. Mounting respectively demounting shutter slides: - Relieve pressure from hydraulic system - Demount distributor outer hood (Fig. 26.23/1), O-Ring (Fig. 26.23/2), distributor inner hood (Fig. 26.23/3) and foam material insert (Fig. 26.23/4) . It is possible to fit up to 6 shutter slides. Always two shutter slides (Fig. 26.23/6) should be fitted on the base plate opposing each other. For mounting resp. demounting the shutter slide the shutter slide tunnel (Fig. 26.23/7) has to be removed. After the mounting is completed, check functions of tramlining control. ? When your seed drill has been equippedwith a pre-emergence marker kit, set the spacing of its marker discs accordingly.

The switch box (Fig. 26.39) controls the rhythm of the tramlines. If it is necessary to create tramlines of a different rhythm, the dividor wheel (Fig. 26.39/1) inside the switch box should be exchanged or converted. For the 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold switching rhythm the dividor wheel (Fig. 26.39/1) must not be exchanged. For converting the switch box to another rhythm control within this group, only the switching rollers have to be placed resp. added in another order as described in para. 26.10. For re-equipping the switch box to a 5-, 7-, 8- and 9-fold switching rhythm the dividor wheel has always to be exchanged (see para. 26.12). 2 4 11 5 7 93 86 1 10 26 - 14 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 2 4 11 5 7 93 86 1 10 Fig. 26.40 Assembly of the tramline switch box:Assembly of the tramline switch box:Assembly of the tramline switch box:Assembly of the tramline switch box:Assembly of the tramline switch box: - Fit safety disc (Fig. 26.40/7) and circlip (Fig. 26.40/8) . - Apply new figure sticker onto display wheel (Fig. 26.40/3), as described in para. 26.11 and first loosely affix to the dividor wheel with the aid of the clamp (Fig. 26.40/6) . - Press lever (Fig. 26.40/10) so often downwards until the clamping tube (Fig. 26.40/11) is tightened and kept in position by a shifting roller (Fig. 26.40/2).

Before conducting any change to the base setting of the tramlining switch box, pleasecheck first, whether the switch box with the new dividor wheel functions in the basic setting as conducted by the factory. If the tramlining switch box does not operate properly during checking, the base setting should be conducted as follows: When pushing down the lever (Fig. 26.57/1) the dividor wheel (Fig. 26.57/2) is being turned by the pulling ratchet (Fig. 26.57/3). The expansion bush (Fig. 26.57/4) turns the sprocket (Fig. 26.57/5). The stop plate (Fig. 26.57/6) limits the movement of the pulling ratchet (Fig. 26.57/3) and hereby the turning angle of the dividor wheel. - Set the stop plate (Fig. 26.57/6) in such a way, that the dividor wheel is turned by one tooth division when actuating the lever. For this two hex. nuts (Fig. 26.57/7) have to be slackened and the stop plate has to be moved correspondingly either upwards or downwards. Set the stop plate sideways in such a way, that the lever (Fig. 26.57/8) is positioned centrally in the window of the stop plate. After finishing the setting tighten hex. nut (Fig. 26.57/7) firmly. The tipping lever (Fig. 26.57/9) is resting with the expansion bush (Fig. 26.57/10) on the dividor wheel (Fig. 26.57/2). Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26 - 21 - Press lever (Fig. 26.57/1) so often downwards until one shifting roller (Fig. 26.57/11) presses away the expansion bush (Fig. 26.57/10) from the dividor wheel (Fig. 26.57/2) . The dividor wheel is set correctly, when all shifting rollers (Fig. 26.57/11) come to a rest to 2 to 3 mm from the highest point (see arrow in Fig. 26.57) of the tipping lever (Fig. 26.57/9). Conduct the setting on the retaining ratchet (Fig. 26.57/12) as follows: - The dividor wheel will be arrested after actuating lever (Fig. 26.57/1) of the expansion bush (Fig. 26.57/ 13) of the retaining ratchet. The setting is conducted by shifting the retaining ratchet (Fig. 26.57/12). The prior slackened inner hex. bolt M 6x12 (Fig. 26.57/14) should be retightened after every new setting. Checking the basic setting Press lever (Fig. 26.57/1) so often downwards, until the dividor wheel has made at least four complete turns. Hereby it should be checked whether the shifting rollers (Fig. 26.57/11) come to a rest by 2 to 3 mm before the highest point of the tipping lever (see arrow in Fig. 26.57) and whether the dividor wheel is faultlessly turned. The pulling ratchet (Fig. 26.57/3) must freely operate at every shifting procedure but it must not jump over. Asjust stopping bolt (Fig. 26.57/15) accordingly. 26 - 22 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) Fig. 26.58 1 2 56 4 Fitting the figure display wheel - Fit figure display wheel (Fig. 26.58/1), as described in para. 26.11 after having applied the new figure sticker loosely onto the dividor wheel with the aid of the clamp (Fig. 26.58/2) . - Press lever (Fig. 26.58/3) downwards so often until the clamping tube (Fig. 26.58/4) is pulled and held in position. Hold protective cover (Fig. 26.58/5) to switch box and turn the figure display wheel (Fig. 26.58/1) until the figure “0” can be seen in the window of the protective cover.

The seed rate remote control is actuated by a single acting control valve in the tractor cab. After having passed the heavier soil plot on which the higher seed rate has been applied, the normal seed rate has to be set again. ? The hydraulic seed rate remote control iscoupled with the hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment. If more coulter pressure is applied, automatically also the seed rate is increased. When actuating the control valve the hy- draulic ram of the hydraulic seed rate remo- te control and the coulter pressure adjust- ment receive simultaneously hydraulic pres- sure Ask people to leave the area of danger Danger of injury on moving parts Fig. 31.1 Seed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrololololol 31 - 3 1 Fig. 31.2 1 2 3 4 Fig. 31.3 31.1 Fitting seed rate remote control On delivery the pre-setting mechanism (Fig. 31.1) is mounted to the gearbox setting lever and the hydraulic ram (Fig. 31.3/3) to the connecting unit II (Fig. 31.2/1), with which your seed drill is also equipped.

G46 The hydraulic seed rate remote control iscoupled to the hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment. If on heavy soils the coulter pressure is to be increased but not the seed rate, the setting screw (Fig. 31.3/4) should be driven all the way up. In this case the seed rate does not change even when increasing the coulter pressure. 31 - 4 Seed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrSeed rate remote contrololololol Band sowing shoe 34 - 1 Contents 34.0 Band sowing shoe for K-coulter (option) ..................................................................34 - 2 34 - 2 Band sowing shoe 34.0 Band sowing shoe for K-coulter (option) Band sowing improves the size of the growing area for the individual plants. Hereby yield increases result if compared with row sowing. Many years of comparison tests by various chambers of agriculture, institutes and advisory rings have resulted in yield increases of between 4 and 8 % compared with row sowing. Precondition for the use of band sowing coulters is a well crumbled seed bed. In such cases band sowing shoes (Fig. 34.1/1) can be clipped simply on to the K-coulters with the aid of a pin (Fig. 34.1/2) and a clip pin (Fig. 34.1/3) simply to the K-coulters. For a proper seed coverage when band sowing, the use of the extra coverage following harrow is imperatively necessary. If the preconditions are not given, e. g. on heavy, sticky soils with winter grain, the band sowing shoes can quickly be taken off without tools. 1 2 Fig. 34.1 The band sowing shoe I (Fig. 34.1/1) is especially suited to operate on heavy soils. The wedge shaped shoe opens the band sowing furrow. 3 Band sowing shoe 34 - 3 Fig. 34.2 The band sowing shoe II (Fig. 34.2) is especially suited for lighter and medium heavy soild. The angled skidding sole compresses the bottom of the seed furrow and reduces the planting depth. 34 - 4 Band sowing shoe Transport on public roads 40 - 1 Contents 40.0 Transport on public roads ..........................................................................................40 - 3 40 - 2 Transport on public roads 40.0 Transport on public roads When travelling on public roads and ways the execution of tractor and machinery should correspond to the national road transport and traffic rules.
