ST 600–900C This QuickStart does NOT replace the instruction manual that contains much more detailed information! General safety rules Control Station must always be kept closed during transit on the public highway. The safety valve on the front row of the seed drill must always be closed when using the public highway (refer to image 1).
ST 600–900C 1. Electrical installation in tractors • Place the ControlStation (monitor) in the cab, the monitor should be placed within the direct field of vision of the driver, also preferable within comfortable and easy reach. • Power supply for seed drill: - If the tractor is equipped with an ISO bus, con- nect the seed drill power cable to the tractor’s power outlet.

ST 600–900C Clarification to previous page Select SF (Seed & Fertiliser), as both seed and fertiliser are to be used. Select SS ( Seed & Seed ) if the whole seed hopper volume is to be used for seed. If only the rear space on the seed hooper will be used for seed and the front fertiliser space is empty, select SF and set the fertiliser amount to 0 kg/ha in the calibration menu for fertiliser (refer to 3B Calibration - Fertiliser page 9).

ST 600–900C Front tool Nordic • Ensure that the front tool is parallel to the ground with a spirit level or measure the distance to the ground. • Adjust the pressure rods. NOTE: It is of the utmost importance to check to ensure that the fertiliser lies between every other sowing row! Check both wings and centre!
ST 600–900C 6. Coulter pressure • In order to have the same coulter pressure in the centre and wing sections the piston rods of the seed coulters must be lined up. • The intermediate section is used as a reference in this adjustment. If adjustment is required, this is done on the piston rods of the wing sections.
