3.12 TRAILED VERSION

On request, the mounted version of the seed drill can be equipped
with a transforming element to make it trailable (Fig. 36). Applica-
ble to tracked tractors, the trailed seed drill is ideal for planting in
hilly areas.
3.12.1 ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase. Be very
careful in following the instructions for the whole operation.
HOOKING
The correct positioning of the tractor/seeder is determined by
placing the unit on a horizontal surface.
1) Attach the equipment to the tractor's load hooking bolt. Secure
the load hooking bolt by means of the safety pin; using the
regulating tie-rod (C, Fig. 36) ensure that the seed drill is per-
pendicular to the ground (Fig. 36).
2) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off Check that the protection turns
freely and fi x it with the special chain.
3) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe.
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular.
UNHOOKING
Unhooking the seed drill from the tractor is a very dangerous
operation. Great caution must be used and the whole operation
must be carried out following the instructions.
For a correct unhooking operation of the seed drill it is necessary
to proceed on a horizontal level.
1) Lower the supporting base elements
2) Slowly lower the seed drill until it rests completely on the ground.
3) Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
4) Unhook the Cardan shaft from the tractor and put it on the
special hook.
5) Detach the equipment from the tractor's load hooking bolt.

TRANSMISSION
The movement is transmitted from the wheel to the dosing device
by meshing the gears (D-E, Fig. 37-38).
Check that the gears are correctly meshed at the beginning of the
season (presence of "play" between D-E).
If the gears are meshed tightly, adjust the regulating screw (F,
Fig. 37-38).
Failure to mesh the gears properly could lead to the breaking
of the gear's support shaft (D).
The transmission disengages automatically when the equipment
is lifted to the transporting position (B, Fig. 36).
