Quality for Professionals It may NOT seem inconvenient and unnecessary to read and observe the operating instructions. It is not enough to hear and see from others that an implement is good, and then to buy it and believe that everything takes care of itself. The person concerned would then not only cause damage to himself, but also make the mistake of assuming that the cause of any problems is due to the implement, instead of himself.

Quality for Professionals Provisions Dear customer! We are pleased and congratulate you on your purchase and wish you lots of fun and success in working with this implement! Please be sure to read all the instructions in this operating manual before operating the implement! Warranty Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt.
Mounting the PS 5.1 Layout and mode of operation The "PS 800 M1" pneumatic seed drill is a spreader and seed drill with a total capacity of 800 litres. The meter roll is driven by a 12 V electric gear motor, which is regulated by the control box.
Quality for Professionals 5.3 Installation of the baffle plates The baffle plates can be mounted using the standard supplied hexagon shaft or directly (without the hexagon shaft) onto the soil tillage implement. The following points must be noted when mounting onto the implement (cultivator, harrow, etc.): •...
12-pin plug for the sensors (e.g.: radar sensor or cable for 7-pin standard socket, etc.). Upon customer request, these are available as accessories for the PS 800 M1 seed drill! A 30 A fuse is located on the right side of the control box.
Hydraulic blower fan drive 6.1 Connecting the blower fan For the PS 800 M1, the hydraulic blower fan is driven directly by the tractor hydraulic system. Two hoses are intended for coupling to the tractor:...
Page 11
Quality for Professionals The BG4 coupling plug for the tank line on hydraulic seed drills is dismounted and included with the accessories. Please observe the operating instructions for your tractor to make sure that you use the correct connection. The tank line is closed with a plastic cap so that no oil can leak during transport, it must be removed before initial operation and replaced by the proper BG4 coupling.
Quality for Professionals 6.2 Setting values (HG) The blower fan produces an air current that carries the seed through the hoses to the baffle plates. The required air pressure and air quantity depend strongly on the seed (type and weight), the spread rate, working width and speed.
Page 13
Quality for Professionals TIP: The control block is designed for 80 l/min – the system can overheat either if the tractor pump produces a larger quantity of oil, or if the tractor is not equipped with oil cooling. CAUTION: The setting is only valid for the tractor used. If a different tractor is connected, the blower fan must be readjusted! Correct adjustment is essential to prevent possible seeding errors ifen the speed is too slow or prevent possible damage to the blower fan if the speed is too fast!
Quality for Professionals 6.4 Scheme (HG) Engine Engine B = max. A = max. Hose length 1 m Hose length 1 m P = marked in coupling connector T = marked in yellow max = 80 l/min coupling connector pmax = 220 bar (or coupling sleeve) A,B = G ½"...
Quality for Professionals 6.5 Function of the blower fan pressure sensor and the hydraulic pressures switch The blower fan pressure sensor (Fig.: 15) prevents the meter roll from being switched on until a hydraulic blower is switched on, thus preventing clogging of the seed drill through being switched on unintentionally or prematurely.
Quality for Professionals 6.6 Hydraulic system (HG) CAUTION: The hydraulic system is under high pressure! If the connections are interchanged, there will be an inverse function and/or certain destruction of the hydraulic motor! Danger of accident! • When connecting hydraulic motors, the specified connection of the hydraulic hoses must be observed! •...
Quality for Professionals Settings 7.1 Proper selection of the meter roll Before filling the hopper with seed, it is important to select the proper meter roll (coarse, fine or blind). The selection is based on the properties of the seed and the rate to be spread. Meter roll types: Standard equipment fb-f-fb-fb Mustard...

Quality for Professionals 2 completely mounted meter rolls are included in the standard scope of delivery for the PS 800 M1: 1 meter roll with coarse-toothed metering cartridges (G-G-G) Fig.: 17 1 meter roll with one fine metering cartridge per outlet (fb-f-fb-fb) Fig.: 18 Scope of use for the coarse-toothed meter roll (Fig.: 17): Generally for large quantities or large seeds.
Quality for Professionals 7.2 Dismounting (changing) the meter roll When changing the meter roll, observe the following: • Refer to the seeding table and select the desired meter roll with the corresponding spread rate. • Empty the hopper completely beforehand. Fig.: 20 •...

Quality for Professionals • The second meter roll is stowed in the meter roll holder. Fig.: 23 Fig.: 24 • Here, the knurled nuts must be loosened, then the cover can be swivelled away and the second meter roll can be taken out. (Fig.: 23) Turn the spare shaft by 180°...
Quality for Professionals 7.3 Bottom flap (brush adjustment) A brush is installed over the meter roll. This brush can be adjusted on a scale from +4 to -5 using a lever on the frame. When the brush is pressed more on the meter roll using the lever (scale value -1 to -5), the spread rate is slightly reduced.
Quality for Professionals 7.5 Swell air plate For larger seed types, the swell air plate must be removed to prevent damage to the seed, the meter roll and the steel frame. To do so, proceed as follows: • Remove the meter roll cover with the three star knob screws. Star knob screws Fig.: 30 •...
Quality for Professionals 7.6 Sensors Fill level sensor The fill level sensor reacts when it is no longer covered with seed. Its height can be adjusted according to the desired quantity in the hopper when the sensor is triggered. The intensity of the sensor can also be adjusted for the respective seed type.
Quality for Professionals 7.7 Working widths seeding tables The PS 800 M1 can be used for working widths up to max. 12 m. CAUTION: it must be ensured that the tractor is capable of providing enough hydraulic power for the blower fan. Otherwise, the hoses can be displaced towards the baffle plates...
