4.0 RULES OF USE

To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully follow
what is set out below.
ATTENTION
The following maintenance, adjustment, and work preparation
operations must be performed with the tractor off and locked
fi rmly in position with the key removed from the dashboard
and the seeder positioned on the ground.

4.1 ATTACHMENT THE TRACTOR

4.1.1 HOOKING

The equipment may be attached to any tractor tted out with a front
three-point universal joint.
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase.
Be sure to follow the instructions carefully throughout the
operation.
The operation must be carried out on a horizontal plane, with
the equipment resting on its parking feet.
At this point, proceed as follows:
1) Hook the lifter bars onto the pins provided (1, Fig. 401) Block
with the snap split pins. Hook the chains to the lifting bars
2) Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor on the ho-
rizontal plane using the stabilizers provided (2, Fig. 402), so
eliminating the side swaying of the equipment. Check that the
tractor hoisting arms are positioned at the same height from
the ground.
3) Connect the third upper point (3, Fig. 403); the pin will be
blocked with the appropriate split pin; use the adjusting tierod
(4, Fig. 403) to keep the seeder perpendicular to the ground.
4) Adjust the height of the tractor lifting arms:
a) In the work position, adjust the path of the tractor hoisting
arms to guarantee adequate downward movement of the
planting unit. Otherwise, when hollows are encountered
in the seedbed, seed distribution could be irregular due
to the seed planting unit transmission wheels slipping
(planing effect).
b) in the transporting position, adjust the arms so that the
seeder does not, for any reason whatsoever, come into
contact with the ground.
5) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe.
6) Raise the feet (A, Fig. 404).
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular (Fig. 403).
ATTENTION: Always follow the indications recommended by
the Manufacturer for the transport of the seeder.
