MOUNTING THE PS LAYOUT AND MODE OF OPERATION The pneumatic seeder "PS 800 M1" / "PS 800 M1 D" / "PS 1100 M1" is a spreading and seeding implement with a capacity of 800 litres or 1200 litres. The seeding shaft is driven by a 12 V electric gear motor, which is regulated by the control box. The speed of the seeding shaft can be comfortably regulated from the driver's seat using the control box.

• To prevent the dispersion plates from sliding to the sides on the hexagonal shaft, fasten the dispersion plates with the supplied plate nuts and bolts (see Figure 5 and Figure 6). Figure 6 Figure 5 • The dispersion plates should have approx. 40 cm clearance from the tilled soil! •...
HOSE CONNECTION ON THE FERTILISER PS AND WITH 32 OUTLETS On the fertiliser version of the PS, the hoses must be connected as follows: • Slightly loosen the locking bolts (not completely!). • Apply a little brake cleaner onto the hoses (only on the outside!) to make it easier to push them through the fertiliser seal.
6-pin plug (= connection of the seeder with the control box) and a 12-pin plug for the sensors (e.g.: ground wheel or cable for 7-pin standard socket, etc.). Upon customer request, these are available as accessories for the PS 800 M1 / PS 800 M1 D / PS 1100 M1 seeder.
HYDRAULIC FAN DRIVE CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC FAN (HG) For the PS 800 M1 / PS 800 M1 D / PS 1100 M1, the hydraulic fan is driven directly by the tractor hydraulic system. Two hoses are intended for coupling to the tractor: •...
Pressure line (marked in red, with direction arrow) Coupling sleeve BG 4 (alternative) Engine Tank line with direction arrow Hydraulic (marked in yellow) block with control valve Figure 15 SETTING VALUES (HG) The fan produces an air current that carries the seed through the hoses to the dispersion plates.
SETTING PROCEDURE (HG) Version 1 (constant pressure pump – non-adjustable oil quantity) • Completely turn in the control valve (- minus) • Start up the fan (tractor engine speed as in field operation) • Adjust the fan speed using the control valve on the control block •...

SETTINGS PROPER SELECTION OF THE SEEDING SHAFT Before filling the hopper with seed, it is important to select the proper seeding shaft (coarse / fine / blind). The selection is based on the properties of the seed and the rate to be spread. Seeding shaft types Standard equipment D series standard equipment...

Seed mixtures Fodder radish Peas, beans, lupines, vetch, fertiliser The standard scope of delivery for the PS 800 M1 / PS 1100 M1 includes 2 completely mounted seeding shafts: 1 seeding shaft with coarse-toothed seed wheels (G-G-G) (Figure 20) 1 seeding shaft with one fine seed wheel per outlet (fb-f-fb-fb) (Figure 21)
Page 28
Figure 20 Figure 22 Figure 21 CAUTION! For wheat or seed types with grains of similar size or larger, the hoses can be shifted at high spread rates. This can lead to consequential damages such as more rapid wear of the seeding shaft! To prevent such damage to the implement, we recommend increasing the air quantity to the maximum level!
DISMOUNTING (CHANGING) THE SEEDING SHAFT PLEASE NOTE! When changing the seeding shaft, ensure that the hopper is completely empty. After installing the seeding shaft, check the implement for smooth running. To dismount the seeding shaft, proceed as follows: • Refer to the seeding table and select the desired seeding shaft with the corresponding spread rate.
Figure 28 Figure 27 Figure 29 BOTTOM FLAP (BRUSH ADJUSTMENT) A brush is installed over the seeding shaft. This brush can be adjusted on a scale from +4 to -5 using a lever on the frame. When the brush is pressed more on the seeding shaft using the lever (scale value -1 to -5), the spread rate is slightly reduced.
AGITATOR PS 800 M1 / PS 1100 M1 Use of the agitator is only required for seed types that tend towards bridging or for very light seed (e.g. for grasses). When the agitator is not required, you only have to remove the chain that is spanned on the drive wheels between the agitator and the meter roll.
Page 32
To do so, proceed as follows: • Loosen the retaining plate for the second seeding shaft and rotate it downwards. • Now lift the rod that is located beside the parking position of the seeding shaft, upward, and depending on the case, either pull it out or push it in (rod pushed in = agitator on, rod pulled out = agitator off).
SWELL AIR PLATE For larger seed types, the swell air plate must be removed to prevent damage to the seed, the seeding shaft and the steel rack. To do so, proceed as follows: • Remove the seeding shaft cover with the three star knob screws. Star knob screws Figure 35 •...
Figure 38 FOREIGN BODY SIEVE (PS 800 M1 D) On the PS 800 M1 D, two foreign body sieves are installed as standard. (For the PS 800 M1 and PS 1100 M1, these are available as accessories, see Chapter 14.) These sieves serve to separate various foreign bodies as well as larger clumps of fertiliser.
9.10 WORKING WIDTHS, SPREAD RATE The PS 800 M1 / PS 800 M1 D / PS 1100 M1 can be used for working widths up to max. 12 m. CAUTION! It must be ensured that the tractor is capable of providing enough hydraulic power for the fan.
9.12 CALIBRATION TEST / REGULATION OF THE SEED RATE To determine the desired spread rate, you must perform a calibration test. Proceed as follows to perform the calibration test: Remove the seeding shaft cover with the 3 star knob screws, which is located underneath the fan over the partition plates (Figure 40).
The following points must be observed for field operation: • The fan should always be switched on during field operation. • Verify the required spread rate. • Check the width distribution (distance) of the dispersion plates. • Check the height of the dispersion plates: Distance from the ground approx. 40 cm. •...
CLEANING, CARE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS 10.1 GENERAL To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, the following instructions must be observed: • Original parts and accessories are designed especially for the machines or implements. • Please note that parts and accessories not supplied by us have also not been tested and approved by us.
DECOMMISSIONING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 11.1 DECOMMISSIONING THE IMPLEMENT To ensure that the implement remains fully functional even if it is out of operation for longer periods of time, it is important to take precautions for storage: 1. Completely remove all seed from the seed drill. 2.
ACCESSORIES The following parts are available as accessories: • Cable extension 5 m (6-pin) This is a cable extension (5 m) for the implement cable (6-pin plug). It is required when the soil tillage implement is longer than the 6 m cable installed ex-factory, or to allow practical routing of the cable.
