3.0 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.
3.1 COMPLETION OF THE MACHINE
For transport reasons, the seed covering harrow, the rear indicator
light units, the loading platforms and the row-marker disks are not
fi tted.
Install them, following the drawings supplied with the machine,
before using the seeder.
3.2 ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
The seeder may be attached to any tractor fi tted out with a three-
point universal hitch.
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase. Be very
careful in following the instructions for the whole operation.
3.2.1 HOOKING
The correct positioning of the tractor/seeder is determined by
placing the unit on a horizontal surface.
1) Connect the seeder to the tractor's three point attachment;
the pins must be fastened with the appropriate pegs. Use the
adjustment stay-bolts (1 Fig. 7-8) to ensure that the seeder is
perpendicular to the ground (Fig. 8).
2) Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor on the hori-
zontal plane using the stabilizers provided, so eliminating the
side swaying of the equipment. Check that the tractor hoisting
arms are positioned at the same height from the ground.
3) 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.
4) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe.
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular.
ATTENTION: Always follow the indications recommended by
the Manufacturer for the transport of the seeder.

3.2.2 UNHOOKING THE SEED DRILL FROM THE TRACTOR
Unhooking the seed drill from the tractor is a very dangerous
operation. Great caution must be used and the whole operation
must be carried out following the instructions.
For a correct unhooking operation of the seed drill it is necessary
to proceed on a horizontal level.
1) Slowly lower the seed drill until it rests completely on the ground.
2) Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
3) Loosen and unhook the third point, following the fi rst and se-
cond.
