Pipe installation at tractor end Hoop clips and stays are used to secure the pipe to the tractor. Attachment brackets must be adapted onsite according to the type of tractor. Example of attachment to Fendt Vario 916 Front-end attachment: Fit the stay (1/1) with clip to the tractor and turn the screw to adjust the pivoting range.

Description of a dosing unit General points The dosing-shaft monitoring system sends the driver a warning signal whenever the dosing shaft stops during operation (due to drive fault). Note that the two transmitter elements (0) run syn- chronously. - If the left-hand sensor detects a gap, its right-hand counterpart must also stop.

Points to observe when adjusting the dosing units Note that the adjustments must be carried out on BOTH front-tank dosing units! 1. Selection of dosing wheels (I, II, III) - Remove the safety pin (39) - To secure the shaft in position, insert the safety pin (39) in the corresponding hole (I, II, Ill).

4. Fitting agitator fingers to the agitator shaft The agitator shaft with finger elements ensures that the seed is fed smoothly and uniformly to the dosing wheels. • The outermost agitator fingers (50) should be set to point inwards • Remove the agitator fingers when handling smooth-rolling peas and beans oleaginous seed-types (the grains might other...
Lane markers The disc lane markers are adjustable with respect to the Spuranreißer Fig.15 centre of the tractor (fig. 10). B = operating width A = half operating width Die Scheibenspuranreißer sind auf Schleppermitte einstellbar (Fig. R = space between rows 10).

Tail wheel and pulse generator The tail wheel (31) drives a pulse generator. This sup- plies the electronic control unit with readings for a return Spornrad und Impulsgeber traverse during the drilling process. The electronic control unit constantly calculates the Das Spornrad (31) treibt einen Impulsgeber an.
Coulter-changeover system With „front hopper“ operation, the trailing coulters and wide sowing coulters can be replaced without the use of tools. Scharwechselsystem - Unhook the spring (33/1) and pull on the spring reten- tion pin (33/2). Bei der "Fronttank" können Schleppschare und Breitsaatschare werkzeuglos gewechselt werden.
Types of rake Coulter rake (fig. 33): For use with trailing coulters only — Designed for sprung attachment to the coulters of the back row — For use on light to medium soil without crop residues.

HYDRAULIC BLOWER DRIVE II. 1 Adjustment process for coarse seed Speed measurement – pressure measurement 5. Gradually increase the oil volume to the tractor if the fan nominal speed is not reached. Pressure gauge Hand wheel If the required nominal speed is not reached in this way a further increase in the nominal speed can be reached only by removing individual adapter plates under the hand wheel of the control valve (Fig.

HYDRAULIC BLOWER DRIVE II.2 Adjustment process for fine seed For seed drills with hydraulic fan drives reduced air volume is not reached by regulating the butterfly valve, but by reducing the speed of the fan. Adjustment if carried out as follows: Feinsaat 1.
How to adjust HYDRAULIC BLOWER DRIVE Note the following before starting up for the first time: - The adjustment screw on the regulating valve must be set to “0” on the scale (minimum feed quantity). Adjusting hints Hydraulic blower drive with Load Sensing control After initial startup: Before initial operation, ensure - Use this screw to adjust the turning speed.

Safety precautions Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the implement during coupling or uncoupling, even if this is to allow operation of the external hydraulic controls. Danger of injury: Always set the tractor’s hydraulic mechanism to “attitude control”...
