1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SEEDER
This farming implement, can only be operated by a farming tractor
equipped with lift unit and universal three-point hitch.
The seeder is suitable for stand-alone use on tilled soil, or combined
with equipment for the soil working (harrow, tiller, etc.).
It is suitable for sowing cereal: wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice.
For minute and forage seeds: rape, clover, alfalfa, rye-grass.
For coarse seeds:
The seeds are deposited in the soil by means of furrower tools,
cutter or disk Corex, and are distributed continuously by a toothed
roller for each row. The quantities to be distributed is regulated by
means of a cam variator (gear), whose motion derives from the
wheels both being adherence driving wheels.
The arms of the furrowing tools, independent of each other, dispose
of a wide margin of oscillation to adapt to the surface of the ground.
ATTENTION
The seeder is suitable only for the uses indicated. The recom-
mended working speed is 8÷10 km/h. The planting unit must
only be transported by road with the tanks and hoppers empty
and at max speed of 25 km/h. Any other use different from
that described in these instructions could cause damage to
the machine and represent a serious hazard for the user. The
machine must be operated by qualifi ed operators of the Cu-
stomer. The operator must wear suitable personal protection
equipment (safety footwear, overalls and gloves, etc.). This
machine has been intended for professional use: it must be
operated exclusively by preliminarily educated, trained and
authorised operators who hold a regular driving license.

The machine's correct operation is not guaranteed if having to plant
on a slope that is more than 10% steep.
We recommend doing the following:
• reduce advancement speed;
• frequently check that pipes are not clogged by seeds;
• check the amount of used seeds per planted Ha, corresponds to
that set;
• do not, in any case, work on slopes that jeopardise the machine's
stability.
Additional checks before operation
Below is a list of additional checks required before operating the
machine:
• ensure that there are no remarkably big stones or rocks (diameter
superior to 8 to 12 cm) on the soil;
• ensure that there are no protruding sections of trees (over 10
cm) having a diameter superior to 8 to 12 cm on the soil;
• ensure that there are no metal elements of any type whatsoever,
but especially nets, cables, wire ropes, chains, pipes, etc. on the
soil.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate
maintenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to observe
scrupulously what is described in order to prevent any inconve-
niences that could prejudicate proper operation and duration. It is
just as important to keep to what is described in this booklet since
the Manufacturer declines all responsibility due to negligence
and non-observance of these rules.
At any rate the Manufacturer is available to assure immediate and
accurate technical assistance and all that may be necessary for
the improved operation and better performance of the equipment.
The machine user shall be liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with the instructions hereby.
