Switch the engine off and pull out the key before starting maintenance and repair work! Never reach into areas where there is a risk of crushing, as long as parts could still be moving!

  • Page 23: Operational Safety

    Operational Safety The machine must only be put into operation after receiving instructions by employees of the authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The Machine Registration Form is required to be completed and returned to HORSCH. Do not make field adjustments while machine is in motion.
  • Page 24 Use a Signal Person Use a signal person to direct movement of the tractor/seed cart, seeding tool combination whenever the tractor operator’s view is obstructed. Designate one individual as the Signal Person. Always have signal person stand in clear view. Be sure signal person stays a safe distance away from the machine when it is moving.

  • Page 34: Configuration And Mode Of Operation

    Configuration and Mode of Operation Description The Panther 440 and 460 Air Seeders, are typically used with a seed wagon after minimal cultivation. Triple Shoot Openers are used together with a fertilizer seed wagon. Here it is possible to apply the fertilizer accurately using an electronically controlled device, which enables it to be placed below the seed during sowing.
  • Page 35 The fertilizer is placed in the soil through a stainless steel pipe from behind the tip. The angled triangular baseplate divides and levels the seedbed over the liquid fertilizer. The fertilizer binds with the soil which is then covered and firmed. The Triple Shoot Opener wear plates open up the seed channel and the distributor deposits the seed over the required width.
  • Page 36 NOTE: Replace any damaged or broken springs or other components immediately. For a complete list of serviceable items, see Panther Planting System Parts Catalog, or your nearest authorized HORSCH dealer. Picture to right indicates an assembled coulter unit with spring installed and pre-load set to the minimum setting, (8-3/4”).

    Parking the Air Seeder The air seeder should be parked indoors or under cover whenever possible to prevent moisture collecting in the distributor, metering units, or seed tubes. The Panther air seeder can be parked separately or together with the seed wagon. This prevents the drawbar from tilting upwards when it is unhitched.

  • Page 50: Manifold System

    Manifold System The manifold heads provide the air and seed to the openers. Double shoot systems have four manifold heads, while single shoot only have two manifold heads. If a 24/12 manifold lid is used, it is important to distinguish between the hoses which are connected to the open outlets and those which are connected to the sealed outlets.
  • Page 51 Maintenance: The manifold heads must be checked for foreign material at regular intervals. Foreign material disturbs the seed flow product distribution, and the operation of the sensors. The hoses and manifold lid must be firmly attached and sealed. Any air leaks will result in uneven seed distribution and blocked seed hoses.

  • Page 60: Depth Setting

    Depth Setting When in operation, the air seeder is supported by 12 hydraulic cylinders which raise the machine for sowing. The rear main cylinders divide the lift hydraulic system in to two separate circuits. In each circuit all the cylinders are arranged in series. The diameter of each following (series) cylinder is smaller to enable the lifting distance to remain constant across the entire working width.

  • Page 69: Machine Work Instructions

    Machine Work Instructions Driving Speed: Seeder speed depends on the field conditions (type of soil, harvesting residues, etc.), the seed, the seed rate, the openers and other factors. Drive according to conditions. If it is difficult seeding, slow down. It is always best to go slower than go too fast when seeding. Checks: The seeding quality essentially depends on the adjustments and checks made prior to and during seeding, as well as on regular servicing and maintenance of the machine.

  • Page 70: Rephasing The Hydraulic Cylinders

    Rephasing the Hydraulic Cylinders The air seeder chassis is fitted with hydraulic rephasing cylinders. The cylinders are all connected in series and therefore operate up/down in parallel. Here, the hydraulic oil is forced out of the piston rod chamber of one cylinder in to the piston chamber of the next cylinder, and so on and so forth, for however many cylinders are connected in series (typically three).

  • Page 95 Cylinder Rod Maintenance PRP (Piston Rod Protection) Chrome plated piston rod and bar products normally contain a minimum of 20 microns to 50 microns hard chrome plate, depending upon the product specifications. This hard chrome plating is applied primarily for wear resistance, though it does considerable corrosion resistance as well. Once the shaft is assembled into a cylinder and put into service, the hydraulic fluid on the surface provides additional corrosion resistance that is normally sufficient to protect the shaft during its entire life.
  • Page 96 Protect Your Hydraulic Cylinders from Rust Many types of equipment have hydraulic cylinders. A hydraulic cylinder is a piston that slides within a cylindrical body. A rod attached to the piston passes through a seal at the end of the cylindrical body and moves in and out to do useful work.
