Page 43 Operation Adjustment with volumetric flow con‐ trol Precondition: √ NO flow control valve is mounted on the machine. In the tractor cab on the additional control unit for the fan drive: ► Adjust the desired speed or the pressure to 65 mbar via the volu‐ metric flow adjustment.
Page 44 Operation If, despite the previous settings, pressure fluctuations of >45 bar occur at the fan when lifting or switching the track markers, the user must also control the volumetric flow via the flow control valve at the machine. ATTENTION Hot hydraulic oil due to reduced volumetric flow Reducing the volumetric flow increases the temperature of the hydraulic oil.
Page 45: Adjusting The Deposition Depth Of The Seeds
Operation 6.4.4 Adjusting the deposition depth of the seeds The deposition depth of the seeds is adjusted with the depth control roller. The depth control roller ensures that the double disc coulters held at the set deposition depth. The deposition depth is determined by the difference in height between the depth control roller and the double disc coulters.

Cross shaft overview Cross shaft overview To determine the cross shaft or lower link connection: Determine the dimensions shown in the sketch on the machine. Compare the dimensions with the data in the table. The category of the three-point linkage must match with the cate‐ gory of cross shaft or lower link connection.

Overlap procedure with Section Control Overlap procedure with Section Control Background With Section Control, the user can use the overlap procedure of a seed drill. Prerequisite √ A CCI operation terminal is available on the tractor. √ The Section Control function is enabled in the CCI operation ter‐ minal.
