Introduction Acquisition & Warranty On delivery of your new Duncan Linkage Renovator please check that the machine is not damaged. In cases of shipping damage, please ask your dealer to arrange for the appropriate claim to be lodged immediately. Assemble any parts supplied loose and inspect your machine with the aid of this manual to familiarise yourself with its features.
Description of Machine The Duncan Linkage Renovator is a Coil Tyne Tee-boot drill. The drill is carried and operated from the three point linkage on the tractor. The machine is available in a two box or single box option and these are mounted on a robust frame.
ATTENTION On the machine important safety information is indicated by these symbols. These highlight general safety aspects in regard to the machine rather than specific hazards. Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine. Under no circumstances are passengers to be permitted on the machine while it is in operation or being transported.
SAFETY - General This section of the manual offers general guidelines N.B. Throughout this for the safe operation of machinery. It does not replace manual important safety local safety regulations. These guidelines were current at information is indicated the time of publication, but may be superseded by later by these symbols in the regulations.
SAFETY - General (Continued) Appropriate Dress Wear close fitting clothing and avoid rings or other forms of jewellery which could become caught in the machinery. People with long hair must have it securely fixed and confined close to the head. Refer to local safety standards for protective clothing and recommended safety equipment.
SAFETY - General (Continued) Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and disposed of safely and in accordance with the supplier’s/manufacturer’s recommendations. Read the product label before using, noting any warnings or special cautions, including any protective clothing or equipment that may be required, ie.
SAFETY - General (Continued) Practise Safe Maintenance Keep the machine in safe working condition. Routine maintenance and regular servicing will help reduce risks and prolong the life of the machine. General Maintenance Accidents occur most frequently during servicing and repair. The following general rules must be followed when maintaining or working with machinery: All operating and maintenance manuals must be read...
SAFETY - Machine Specific This section of the manual gives specific guidelines for the safe operation of the Linkage Renovator. These guidelines were current at the time of publication, but may be superseded by later circumstances. They do not necessarily cover every possible hazard and must be read in conjunction with the SAFETY - General section (Page 4 - 8).

Basic Calibration Procedure Gearbox Setting Lever To set the seed rate at the gearbox, slacken the star knob (1) by turning counter-clockwise and push from below into the position indicated in the Sowing Chart. Retighten the star knob firmly (Fig Important The settings shown in the Sowing Charts (kg/ha) can only serve as reference values.
Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Seed Calibration The calibration test should be done to confirm the required seed rate and is done with the drill stationary and level. Seed Calibration Procedures Remove the calibration tray from the storage brackets on the seedbox. Place the calibration tray (1) on the support members below the seeders (Fig 5).

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Seed Calibration Procedures (Continued) Hand Crank Turns for Seed Rate Calibration The tables represented below are for arable conditions (worked ground) and are calculated to indicate an average situation. If there is any doubt as to the accuracy of these figures for the conditions, it is advisable to run at least 1 of the 2 checks on the calibration figures listed.
Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Recalculating the Constant It is especially important in arable situations to check the rolling circumference of the tyre when in the cultivated area to be sown, and if necessary, to recalculate the constant and hence the number of crank turns.
Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Calibration Deviations Deviations Between the Calibration Test and the Actual Seed Rate The most frequent cause for changes between the calibration test and the seed rate lies in the flowing properties of seed during sowing. These changes in properties generally result from reactions of the dressing agents to temperature, humidity or abrasion.
Hints for Sowing with Variable Speed Gearbox The gearbox allows for stepless changes in the speed of the metering shaft and thus the seed rates. Due to the variations in seed type and application rates there are two speed ranges available. By changing from High Speed to Low Speed the range of settings and control is dramatically increased.
Small Seeds Calibration with Disconnected Agitator Shaft The fine seed metering wheel used in Duncan Drills is especially well suited for sowing small seeds such as rape. Due to the intensive action caused by the agitator the seeds can adhere to each other, or be damaged, causing irregular sowing/germination.
Hectaremeter Settings Setup Refer to the installation and operation instructions supplied with your hectaremeter kit (1) for information on installation, calibration, operation and servicing (Fig 16). Table 6 gives the effective working widths for the various machines depending on the machine size and the row spacing. The calibration procedure described in the hectaremeter handbook involves accurately measuring the circumference of the tyre and entering and storing this value in the meter.

Maintenance & Care Lubrication Instructions Lubrication Points on the Linkage Renovator Lubrication Precautions Study the correct procedure before starting work. Keep the service area clean and dry. Only service or lubricate the machine when it is stationary and securely supported. Only service or lubricate the machine when the hydraulics are disconnected or isolated...
Maintenance & Care Your new Linkage Renovator will give long and efficient service if given normal care and maintained properly. Maintenance Schedule 1 Bolted Connections All bolted connections of the machine should be checked after the first 30 hours of operation and retightened if necessary and thereafter at regular intervals.
Maintenance & Care (Continued) Maintenance Schedule (Continued) 5 Bottom Flaps (Fig 21) The required seed rate is controlled by both the metering wheels and the bottom flaps. The seed flows from the seed box into the metering wheel housings. Inside the metering wheel housing (1) the seed is caught between the metering wheel (2) and the bottom flap (3).
