Before setting off on the road, ensure that the hitched machine is fitted with the lighting and signalling devices required by the highway code and any other devices required by the current regulations. AGRISEM rear signalling lights and panels may be removed when working. Check that this signalling equipment has been correctly refitted.
Before travelling on the road, secure all of the machine's pivoting parts in their transport position to avoid dangerous changes of position. Also check that the screws, nuts and bolts are tightened and that all of the machine parts are correctly attached and cannot move or become detached. If your machine is a folding machine, the locking system must be engaged.
The machine must only be serviced and repaired by competent persons who are familiar with the machine's features and operating procedures. The machine must only be repaired with genuine AGRISEM International spare parts. For bare metal parts, use either an anti-rust product that leaves a greasy film or thick grease.
Risk of explosion: avoid sparks and naked flames near the battery. 1.3.1.7. Instructions regarding the hydraulic system If your machine is fitted with a hydraulic circuit, you must comply with the following instructions: Warning! The hydraulic circuit is pressurised. When mounting cylinders and hydraulic devices, take particular care to ensure that the circuits are correctly connected, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
(e.g. turbine stopped) and the rear window of the tractor must be shut, the tractor switched off and the ignition keys removed. Ensure that no one is on or near the seeder when the grain is being loaded. The AGRISEM walkway must only be used when the seeder is stationary.
Instructions relating to safety systems with spring assemblies Safety devices with pre-compressed spring assemblies are fitted on many AGRISEM tools. These can be very dangerous when performing technical operations on the machine if all of the necessary precautions are not taken.
1.3.2. Safety symbols on the machine ETIQ-501 Keep a safe distance from the machine during work. Risk of serious injury. Ensure that no-one is in the danger zone around the machine when the tractor engine is running. ETIQ-502 Keep a safe distance from the machine when lowering it. Risk of serious injury. Ensure that no-one is under the machine when lowering it.

Actuate the hydraulic unfolding hoses by pressurising them until the extensions arrive at the mechanical stop. The hoses must be operated with care. Some MAXIMULCH series 3 machines have hydraulic unfolding and folding. To do this, the following procedure must be followed: c- Folding the roller 1.
2.1.4. Starting up the MOUNTED MAXIMULCH AGRISEM MULTISTOP The tool's tilt during work is adjusted by adjusting the top link "A". The AGRISEM Multistop allows you to adjust the working depth using the roller. 2.1.4.1 Adjusting the working depth: Adjustment: CHANGING THE ROLLER'S POSITION Changing the roller's position to increase the working depth: 1.
Page 33
2.1.4.2. Mechanical adjustment of the depth of the spring safety blades The working depth of the blades can be adjusted manually without affecting the working depth of the disks. Each of the blades must be adjusted in the same way. The following procedure must be followed: 1.
2.1.4.3. Mechanical adjustment of the depth of the bolt safety blades The working depth of the blades can be adjusted manually without affecting the working depth of the disks. Each of the blades must be adjusted in the same way. There are 6 different positions between the minimum and maximum height.
Page 35
Changing the roller's position to decrease the working depth: 1. Raise the machine into "Transport" position to release the roller arms' pressure on the multistop upper stop pins. 2. Place the multistop upper stop pins in a lower position. (e.g. if the pins are in position 5, the pin must be put in position 4).
Page 36
1. Release the pressure on the pins by raising the blades slightly using the tractor's distributor. 2. Remove the set pins. (see photo 2) 3. Using the dual-effect distributor, adjust the blades to the required height. (see photo 3) 4. Replace the pins, rings and clips. (see photo 4) It is vital that the rings are placed at the end of the set pin.
