  • Page 2 Quality for Professionals It may NOT seem inconvenient and unnecessary to read and observe the operating instructions. It is not enough to hear and see from others that an implement is good, and then to buy it and believe that everything takes care of itself. The person concerned would then not only cause damage to himself, but also make the mistake of assuming that the cause of any problems is due to the implement, instead of himself.

    Quality for Professionals Provisions Dear customer! We are pleased and congratulate you on your purchase and wish you lots of fun and success in working with this implement! Please be sure to read all the instructions in this operating manual before operating the implement! Warranty Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt.

  • Page 7: Layout And Mounting The Implement

    To attach the seeder, you should use at least 8 bolts with a diameter of 10 mm and the required length to ensure secure and firm attachment of the implement. Please note that that the MDS must be mounted at a height of more than 1.5 m (delivery height of the spreading plate).

  • Page 8: Installation Of The Baffle Plates On The Mdp And Mdg

    Now you can attach the spreader onto the three-point linkage of your towing vehicle. CAUTION: APV is not liable for improper mounting or faulty use of the implement. Installation of the baffle plates on the MDP and MDG The baffle plates can be mounted using the standard supplied hexagon shaft or directly (without the hexagon shaft) onto the soil tillage implement.
  • Page 9 Quality for Professionals • The baffle plates should have approx. 40 cm clearance from the tilled soil! • The seed hoses should flow into the dispersion plates vertically (90°). Therefore, the baffle plates should also be mounted vertically (90°) on the hexagon shaft! (Fig.: 7).

  • Page 10: Hose Connection

    Quality for Professionals Hose connection • Slightly loosen the locking bolts (not completely)! • Apply a little silicone spray onto the hoses (only on the outside!) to make it easier to push them through the sealing. The hoses must be completely pushed in (until you feel the stop) so that the seed can flow smoothly.

  • Page 11: Settings

    Quality for Professionals Settings Proper selection of the seeding shaft Before filling the hopper with seed, it is important to select the proper seeding shaft (Flex20, fine or blind). The selection is based on the properties of the seed and the rate to be spread. Seeding shaft types Standard equipment Fig.: 10...

    Quality for Professionals Assembly of the seeding shaft Fig.: 12 1 hexagon shaft 2 O-ring 3 f seed wheel 4 Blind fb seed wheel 5 Flex 20 seed wheel 6 Spacing discs The number and type of the seed wheels must be the same for each outlet. The arrangement and design of the seed wheels depends on the required spread rate and the seed type.
  • Page 13 Quality for Professionals Scope of use for the Flex20 seeding shaft: Generally for granulated fertiliser, high rates or large grain sizes. E.g.: Grass mixtures, rye, barley, wheat, oats, etc. Scope of use for the fine-toothed seeding shaft Generally for low rates or small grain sizes as well as micro granules. Small seeds such as oil rape seed, clover, phacelia, slug pellets, etc.
  • Page 14 Quality for Professionals Fig.: 14...

  • Page 15: Spreading Width Of The Mds

    The MDS is designed such that it can spread seed (slug pellets) uniformly over a width of up to 28 m. For this to succeed, the battery and the alternator must be in good condition.

  • Page 16: Table For The Working Width

    Quality for Professionals NOTE: when the MDS is mounted on implements with small working widths and the seed should be spread directly in/in front of the roller, the spreader can also be mounted slanted slightly downwards. However, we recommend installing a precision dispersion plate (available as an option) to achieve more precise spreading results with small working widths up to max.

  • Page 17: Point Of Impact Adjustment For The Mds

    Quality for Professionals Point of impact adjustment for the MDS The point of impact adjustment can be used to adjust the entire spreading pattern by 20° in both directions. This can be important for some spreading materials. For example, if the spreading pattern is turned by 15° to the right, the point of impact adjustment is turned by 15°...

  • Page 19: Dismounting (Changing) The Seeding Shaft

    Quality for Professionals Dismounting (changing) the seeding shaft To dismount the seeding shaft, proceed as follows: NOTE: when changing the seeding shaft, ensure that the hopper is completely empty. After installing the seeding shaft, check the implement for smooth running. •...

  • Page 20: Agitator

    Quality for Professionals Fig.: 25 Fig.: 26 Agitator 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 driving belt that is spanned on the drive wheels between the agitator and the seeding shaft.

  • Page 21: Sensor (Fill Level Sensor)

    Quality for Professionals Sensor (fill level sensor) The fill level sensor sends a message to the control box when it is no longer covered with seed. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted for the respective seed type. It is adjusted using the small slotted screw at the rear of the sensor.
  • Page 22 Fig.: 31 CAUTION: for safety-related reasons, the plug in the motor supply line on the MDS must be disconnected as soon as the spreading plate unit is folded down.

  • Page 23: Seeding Tables

    NOTE: the spread rate can be reduced or increased by adapting the seed wheel combination. The addition of blind seed wheels reduces the spread rate, and the addition of fine or Flex20 seed wheel increases the spread rate. TIP: setting charts with other seed types can be found on our homepage www.apv.at.
