  • Page 21: Adjustments

    10 ADJUSTMENTS 10.1 Drilling depth With the two screws (20) the seeding depth is adjusted. It is important that both screws (20) are adjusted the same amount, in order to reach an even seeding depth. The scale (SK) serves as a guide to the current seeding depth.

    If after the central coulter pressure adjustment the working position is too deep or too shallow, the link position must be corrected by means of each spring adjustment (24). Links are too deep in driving direction Õ Lengthen spring adjustment (24). Links are too shallow in driving direction Õ...

  • Page 23: Seeding Shaft

    10.5 Seeding shaft The seeding shaft (SW) is equipped with 7 seed wheels for each dosage unit (34), with two fine seed wheels (FS), two narrow seed wheels (SS) and three wide seed wheels (BS). Between each seed wheel a separation plate (not shown) is provided. They ensure that each seed wheel works independently from each other.
  • Page 24 a) Switching on the seed wheels Switching on the seed wheels is done by means of screwing in the stop screw (MS). When screwing in the stop screws (MS) it must be ensured that they engage exactly in the groove (NU) of the seeding shaft axle (SA). Also the screws are within the seed wheel circumference and will not cause interference when rotating.

  • Page 30: Slide Plates

    10.7 Slide plates During operation all slide plates (A) must be opened fully. If necessary the seed flow from the hopper to the metering units can be stopped by means of the slide plates (A). As an option the slide plates can be operated via an electrical motor from the tractor seat if required.

  • Page 31: Emptying The Hopper

    10.9 Emptying the hopper 10.9.1 Emptying flaps The hopper (15) can be emptied easily by means of opening the emptying flaps (40). The handles of the flaps can be found - seen from the rear - to the right under each dosage unit (34).

  • Page 32: Cleaning The Dosage Units

    10.10 Cleaning the dosage units The dosage units (34) must be cleaned regularly, at least once a day with rape seed. Therefore the stop slides (A) must be closed, the calibration tray (41) set into position and the emptying flaps (40) opened. Remove protection covers (33) and open bottom flap shaft completely by means of the lever (HE) or (35).

  • Page 33: Tramline Mechanism

    10.13 Tramline mechanism By means of the tramline mechanism (FA) either 1x2, 2x2, 2x3 or 2x4 seeding rows will be closed, when tramlines are made. Via the on-board computer LH 5000 the rhythm and bout can be adjusted. See instruction book for the on-board computer LH 5000.

  • Page 34: Partly Width Switch Off

    11 PARTLY WIDTH SWITCH OFF Depending on the working width of the Solitair 1 to 4 dosage units can be switched off by means of closing the slides plates (A). This can be done by hand or by means of the electric motor (EM). With the electric width switch off device, electric motors are provided above the slide plates (A).

  • Page 35: Scrapers

    12 SCRAPERS The double disc coulters (55) are equipped with self-adjustable scrapers (54). They must be replaced after wear. After wear the scrapers must be replaced. Each scraper is secured by a supporting plate and a spring pin. The cover (56) prevents clods and soil penetrating the inner disc area.

  • Page 36: Sensors

    16 SENSORS controlling Solitair several sensors (71) are fitted. At the coulter bar lifting device (tramline switch), the fan, the drive wheel, the seeding shaft and the electric motor. The sensors have been adjusted at the factory. An adjustment correction must only be done, if with intact sensor a malfunction is found out.

  • Page 37: Folding- In And -Out Of The Coulter Bar

    17 FOLDING- IN AND -OUT OF THE COULTER BAR (with Solitair 9 KA, only) Hook (H) is unlocked Hook (H) is locked The seed drills Solitair 9 KA are equipped with hydraulically foldable coulter bars (12). Before folding-in, the locking pin (13) must be unsecured and removed.

  • Page 38: Track Markers

    18 TRACK MARKERS The Track markers (45) are folded-in and -out vertically by means of single acting hydraulic rams. The alternating action of the Track markers happens by means of an hydraulic switch valve. The Track markers are adjusted to the centre of the tractor at the factory.

  • Page 39: On-Board Computer Lh 5000

    19 ON-BOARD COMPUTER LH 5000 All adjustments of the seed drill monitoring are adjusted, regulated and controlled by the on-board computer. Warning! If the tractor with seed drill Solitair is parked, the on-board computer must be switched off, in order to avoid discharge of the battery.

  • Page 40: Fuses And Sensors

    20 FUSES AND SENSORS The on-board computer LH 5000 and the controlling of the Solitair are protected against damage by fuses and sensors. a) Up to fabrication No. 263 121 (collecting box made out of synthetic) Two different circuit boards (P) are fitted in the grey box. The circuit board (P) for the electric motor of the pre-emergence markers shows 3 additional fuses.

  • Page 41: Transport

    21 TRANSPORT Before transport the coulter bar of the Solitair 9 KA must be folded-in. The Solitair 9/400 SA is wider than 3 m and therefore may not be driven on public roads. The transport height and width regulations must be adhered to. The regulations and laws concerned must be abided by.

  • Page 42: Notes

    24 NOISE, AIRBORNE SOUND The noise level of the LEMKEN Solitair 9 KA is between 90 and 95 dBA during work. Close the tractor cabin or use ear defenders during work. 25 PRODUCT REGISTRATION / GUARANTEE We would like to point out that the guarantee period starts, only when the completely filled-in and signed product registration has been returned to us .

  • Page 43: Maintenance

    20 working hours and tightened if necessary. ∗ Worn double disc coulters and scrapers must be replaced in time, so that the carrying parts will not be damaged. Use only genuine Lemken spare parts! ∗ Hydraulic hoses must be checked regularly. Defective and porous hydraulic hoses must be replaced immediately.
  • Page 44 • The filter (ZY) separates the dust from the in taken air by 85 % automatically. The function of the filter (ZY) must be checked regularly as follows: - Throw dust into the intake opening of the filter (ZY). - When the T-joint (TV) does not throw out dust, the flexible hose (FL) must be removed from the filter and the filter must be cleaned.
