¾
Follow the associated operating instructions
for the settings on the E-Manager.
Perform the calibration, see chapter Pneumatic
¾
system and operating instructions for the
E-Manager.
Observe the notes in the following chapters
¾
for the required settings on the fan as well as
the drill and fertiliser coulters.
Working speed
The drill can operate at working speeds of up
to 15 km/h.
The speed depends on the field conditions (soil
type, crop residues etc.), seed, seed quantity,
coulters and other factors.
Operate somewhat slower under difficult

Headland
At the headland, lift out the front support
¾
wheels or front packer, DiscSystem, fertiliser
coulter and TurboDisc seed bar. Lift out the
machine during travel.
After turning on the headland position the
¾
machine approx. 2-5 m in front of the seedbed
with appropriate fan speed. The seed requires
some time to flow from the metering unit to
the coulters.
Accelerate uniformly and not too much during
¾
entering.
Do not reduce the fan speed too early and
¾
too far.
Otherwise, seed or fertiliser would remain in
the hoses and clog them.
The fertiliser hoses are not monitored by
the E-Manager without fertiliser or seed flow
monitoring.
