Safety Instructions Before coupling and uncoupling, set the tractor’s hydraulic unit to „position control“! When coupling and uncoupling, do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the machine; also stay clear of the tractor and machine when the external hydraulic console is in use. Risk of injury! Ensure that when lifted, the seed drill (with its row markers folded in) does not come into contact with other objects – e.g. with a rear-hinged window! Ensure that there is sufficient space to manoeuvre (when the hopper is full), and attach a suitable weight to the front of the tractor. Before operation, ensure that the tractor and machine are both in safe operating condition and that the relevant guards have been attached. The operator is responsible for safety. Do not transport the machine with a full hopper! Never allow anyone to climb onto or to ride on the machine (or loading platform), and keep clear of danger zones (swivel area)! Before leaving the tractor, lower the machine, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Always lower the machine prior to performing adjustments or repairs. Do not reach into the hopper or place objects into it when empty. The agitator (if installed) may turn if the machine is pushed (when the spur wheel is turned) with transmission in > „0“ position. Danger of injury or damage to machine! When filling the hopper with treated seed and cleaning with compressed air, please note that seed dressing is toxic and irritant. Wear appropriate protective clothing! Ensure that no one is near the machine before operating or towing. On steep slopes, allowances are to be made for the centre of gravity of the purchased combination. Before using the machine for the first time – and after long downtimes – check the oil level in the transmission and that all bearings are adequately greased. Check that all screws are tightened, and that there is no leakage in the hydraulic unit. 0600-GB SICHERHEIT_8521 -5- DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES GB Overview 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Designations: (1) Row marker (5) Harrow (2) Seed hopper (6) Coulter system (3) Calibration trays (7) Gears (4) Loading platform Versions Designation DESCRIPTION 252 Working width: 250 cm 302 Working width: 300 cm 402 Working width: 400 cm 0900-GB_ÜBERSICHT_8611 -6- WARNING SIGNS GB CE sign The CE sign, which is affixed by the manufacturer, indicates outwardly that this machine conforms to the engineering guideline regulations and the other relevant EU guidelines.

Hitching with the lower-link oscillating axle ensures good adaptation to the surface and safe operation. The sowing shaft drive comes from the right-hand transport wheel via a continuously adjustable two-directional oil-bath transmission, which is capable of roughly halving the speed of the sowing shaft, and when set up for „over seeding“, will also reverse the direction of rotation of the seed shaft. For 3m the sowing shaft links can be switched off for each side individually. The special thing about VITASEM is the fact that it has normal output in ”undersowing” with its multi-saw wheels and individually measures out by changing the rotation direction of the sow shaft e.g. rape-seed in use for ”overseeding”. To facilitate handling and safe operation the design includes, among others features, a water-proof hopper lid, a functionally shaped hopper, a feed funnel for each sowing roller, level indicator, individual and central coulter pressure adjustment and easy-to-perform calibration using the crank. To adapt the „Vitasem“ to the various types of operation, suitable equipment is available: e.g. various types of harrows, hydraulic row marker switching and lifting, electronic tramline control incl. a hectare meter and calibration, level indicator and sowing shaft controller, demarcation of tramlines, hydraulic coulter pressure and seed rate adjustment and a self-aligning agitator shaft for grass seed and others.

Move the flap to the required position, see Fig. 16 and Fig. 18. * 1200-GB DOSIERVERFAHREN_8611 Only with additional equipment for “reverse sowing”: Reversal of the sowing shaft’s direction of rotation is possible. - 34 - GB REGULATING SYSTEM The Advantages of Overseeding (additional equipment) By reversing the direction of rotation of the seed shaft, each sowing roller cam – with its specially shaped cups (19/1) – picks up a seed, transports it through a cover (20/1), and then releases it for „free fall“ into the seed drill coulters. Individual seed dosage enhances growing space distribution and plant development and leads to greater yields while also saving on seed stock. 1 19 The Vitasem overseed system is only suited for round, regular seed of approx. 1.8 - 2.8 mm Ø – especially for rape seed and kale-like seed: ... the seed must be free of any loose dressing rub-off and its surface may not be sticky (brush off any seed dressing residue in the cups). Seed containing additives such as additional dressing and slug pellets is not suitable for overseeding. ... to achieve even seed distribution, we recommend to never drive faster than 6 km/hr. Strong vibrations, caused by stones and large clods of earth for example, will affect the quality of distribution. ... the angle of inclination should not exceed 15%. 2 20 ”Undersowing with fine sowing wheel” is recommended if the requirements referred to are not met. This also applies to hybrid rape varieties with greatly differing grain sizes. 1200-GB DOSIERVERFAHREN_8611 - 35 - GB REGULATING SYSTEM Setting Seed Rates 1 Use the seeding chart to determine the correct seed rate and make appropriate settings. The change in the sowing shaft’s direction of rotation is “content” of the additional equipment for “reverse sowing” Control devices: 21 a) Transmission setting (direction of rotation of the seed shaft) b) Shutters c) Gate d) Fine seed reducer e) Covers f ) Agitator Gear setting / Direction of rotation of the seed shaft The two-directional oil-bath transmission is continuously adjustable from 0 to 100 (0 = sowing shaft at standstill). 22 Indicated value = lever /forward (towards 100). Secure lever using star handle (21/1). Using the reduction gears the sowing shaft speed may be halved for „undersowing“. If a very low seed rate requires a gear setting of below 10, you can use the reduction gear to roughly halve the sowing shaft speed and roughly double the transmission set value (then re-calibrate). To be adjusted on left-hand side of machine - open protection - by reversing the tappets (22/1 and 23/2) and thrust ring (22/2 and 23/1). normal speed - right tappet (22/1a, 23/2a) 1/2 speed - left tappet (22/1b, 23/2b) Changing the Direction of Rotation of the Seed Shaft Mount the carrier (pl.)

Shutters are not designed to regulate the seed rate! An incorrect shutter setting can result in variations in seed rates when sowing on a slope. Shutter Settings for Undersowing: The shutter must always be fully opened (24/2). 24 Shutter closed = position 1 (24/1) Do not use intermediary settings. Shutter Settings for Overseeding: (Additional accessory.) Here the shutters on the sowing roller are used to set the seed level. This shutter setting depends on how well the seed stock flows. This may be determined by a seed test. (See also page 2 of the Seed Chart) Seed Test for Overseeding Preparations for seed test: - Close shutter - Fill hopper with seed (rape seed) 25 - Put emptying trays in place - Secure shutter in position a - Gate remains in position 0 - Turn the sowing shaft for at least 10 rotations Seed test procedure: Catch the seed from one or more spouts while continuing to turn the hand crank until the sowing shaft has made exactly one rotation. The shutter setting is correct (Fig. 25) when 36 +/- 4 seeds are released during one rotation of the sowing shaft. The seed is not suitable for overseeding if more than 40 seeds are released per rotation of the sowing shaft with the shutter in the position a. 25a If fewer than 32 seeds are counted per rotation, secure the shutters in the next highest position (first „b“, then „c“ or „d“). (Fig. 25) The seed test must be repeated each time. - Important Note: - After each change of shutter position, turn the sowing shaft for at least 10 rotations! - The seed test should also be performed during operation to ensure proper overseeding.

With help from the calibration test, check whether the set drill machine seed rate corresponds to the actual seed rate. When should the calibration test be carried out: - With changes in seed types - With similar seed types but with differing grain sizes, grain shape, weight or dressing agent. - When changing the sowing wheels - After every bottom flap or slide gate adjustment. Preparing the drill machine for the calibration test: Take note! The following requirements are necessary for a safe calibration test: - Tractor is turned off and secured against rolling! - Drill machine is attached to tractor and lowered onto firm, even ground! - Standing surface on step as well as loading platform is clean and not slippery! Calibration procedure: - Fill seed box accordingly (see chapter “Operation / Filling the seed box”) Be aware! - Park machine in horizontal position Danger of falling! Do not carry out following activities on loading platform but standing at the side of the drill machine. - Deactivate tramline system (all sowing wheels must turn for the calibration test!) - Set the required dosing procedure (see “Sowing table”) If an activity can only be carried out on the loading platform, always hold hand rail firmly! - Set slide gate accordingly (see “Sowing table”) - Close all sowing wheel slide gates that should not be seeding. - Set bottom flaps accordingly (see “Sowing table”) 1) Raise the emptying troughs (1) and release from locking hooks. - Set gear ratio accordingly (see “Sowing table”) - Set reduction inserts and agitator shaft accordingly (see “Sowing table”) Tip: As seeds differ through specific weight, grain size, grain shape and dressing agent, seed table values can only be approximate. 1 Therefore a calibration test must always be carried out. When varying the required seed rate, recalibrate with altered gear ratio. 1100-GB ABDREHEN_8611 - 41 - CALIBRATION PROCESS 2) Release and lower seed guide (2) on both sides.

Tip: Take trough weight into account and check display accuracy of the scales! 2 10)Multiply weight of calibration test with the area factor to calculate the seed rate in kg/ha. e.g. Weight: 3.2 kg Area: 1 / 40 ha 3.2 kg x 40 = 128 kg/ha Tip: If desired seed rate / hectare is not achieved after the first calibration test, change gear ratio and repeat calibration test until desired seed rate / hectare is achieved! The sowing wheel aid helps to determine the gear ratio change. 11)Alter gear ratio (1) according to value shown on the sowing wheel aid. 1100-GB ABDREHEN_8611 - 43 - COULTER PRESSURE GB Adjustment of coulter pressure Adjustment of the coulter pressure is carried out via a central spindle on the left-hand side of the machine. The maximum pressure adjustable per coulter is 25 kg. The adjustment value is indicated via an orientation scale (2). Caution! Relieve the coulter pressure completely to increase stability prior to unhitching the seed drill! Adjustment: - Increase coulter pressure Turn spindle (1) towards right - Decrease coulter pressure Turn spindle (1) towards left Note: The accompanying ratchet ring spanner can be used for making adjustments! 1 2 Outer coulter The depth and thus the seed depth is adjusted with the hexagonal limit stop on the right and left outer coulter (they work with a higher coulter pressure in the wheel tracks). Depth guide roller non-standard equipment. The depth gride rollers measuring 50 x 40 mm ensure an adjustable depth limitation and recompaction of the soil. 3 Adjustment: - the adjustment depth is set via the perforated strip (3). 1000-GB COULTER PRESSURE_8611 - 44 - ROW MARKER GB Row marker As 1 2 Function: 3 The disk row markers are activated hydraulically with a single-action control unit. Both row markers are raised if the control unit is switched to “Raise”. The left and right-hand row marker alternately is brought into the working position if the control unit is switched to “Lower” (floating position). Adjustment: Set the row marker to the middle of the tractor: - Determine calculated measurement (A) according to the formula: Formula: Working width (B) [cm] + distance between rows (R) [cm]/2 = dimension (A) [cm] Example: 300 + 12 / 2 = 156 cm - Pivot the row marker into the working position and adjust the determined dimension (A) at adjustment point (2) according to the adjacent diagram. Adjust row marker handle: - the disk axle may be rotated at the adjustment point (3). The desired traction can be adapted according to soil conditions. Collision lock: The row markers are fitted with a shearable screw (As). If the row marker encounters a solid obstacle, this screw shears off and the row marker goes round the obstacle. It is advisable to carry a shearable screw on the tractor. Note! 4 Use only original Pöttinger parts! Screws with a different torque tightness may cause damage to the seed drill! Transport setting: The row markers are fitted with a transport lock. These must be set in the transport position at fixing point (4) and in the working position at fixing point (1) Caution! The row markers must be secured for road transport using the transport lock to prevent them from pivoting accidentally during the journey! 0900-GB SPURANREIßER_8611 - 45 - HARROW TYPES GB Harrow types A Following harrow: (A) Once the pressure rollers have pressed the seeds into the earth, the harrow ensures the seed is evenly covered with soil. Suitability: - all soil types Perfect harrow: (B) Similar to the following harrow but with additional levelling effect. Suitability: - all soil types B Possible settings for following harrow and perfect harrow: Processing depth and contact pressure: (1) The processing depth is adjusted via the perforated strip (1). Secure desired working position on left and right using linch pin. Tine inclination: (3) Tine inclination is adusted via the perforated strip (3). Secure desired working position on left and right using linch pin. Recommended setting: The ends of the tines lie horizontal with the soil. Harrow extension: (4) The two outer tines (4) can be extended or retracted. Extend into working position and secure with linch pin. Retract into transport position and secure. The inclination of the two outer tines can be adjusted separately via the flange (6). Harrow position: (5) The harrow position may be adjusted via the perforated strip (5) (e.g. shorten when operating without pressure rollers). Caution! The harrow extensions (4) must be retracted and secured during road transport to ensure that the maximum transport width of 3 m is not exceeded! 6 0900-GB STRIEGELARTEN_8611 - 46 - TRAMLINES GB Examples of Tramlines At the edge of the field (row marker lowered on field-side) set the tramlining cycle to the correct starting number – e.g. for rhythms 3 and 4 set to 2. Sensors handle the automatic switching, e.g. when changing row markers. For symmetrical tramlining cycles with even numbers, begin at the edge of the field with _ drill working width; switch off the left machine half by disconnecting the plug in the middle of the sowing shaft. If the fertiliser spreader is equipped with a spread limiter, begin at the edge of the field with full drill working width and Tramline. Two or three sowing rollers may be switched off per wheel track (magnetic switch/sowing roller – connection sleeves 73/1+2). 1 The magnetic switch switches „off“ when it receives power; this ensures that operation may continue for the full number of rows in the case of a power failure. (Shutters may then be closed if necessary.) 2 73 For asymmetrical tramlining, switching occurs only on one singlesided wheel track during each of two passes in opposite directions. Depending on the turn direction chosen, the unneeded magnet on the outer side of the turn must be deactivated by uncoupling. If no tramlines are to be made but the electronic monitor is to remain active, select rhythm „0“. (Adjusting the tramlining rhythm: see appendix A, section 5.1.1) Current operation data is stored so that operation may continue in the correct rhythm after e.g. an interruption. ATTENTION: When changing over from asymmetric to asymmetric marking, the distances that were marked are not the same If the seed drill has been out of operation for a longer period, the tramlining control must be inspected. Check that the sowing roller connection sleeves (73/2) are not restricted by seed dressing residue and move easily on the sowing shaft. e.g. Track = 1.80 m symmetrical = 90 cm (Centre track width = centre drill machine) asymmetrical = 90 cm When driving on public roads, disconnect all electronic equipment from the on-board power supply (disconnect plug on tractor side). (Centre track width = outside drill machine) (Note: The unit is supplied with both magnet couplings connected. For this reason the magnets must be checked after selecting the tramlining rhythm and drive direction!) Stepping forward of the tramline The signal for forward stepping of the tramlines is activated by one of the following possibilities depending on the machine configuration. 3) Row marker 1) Gearbox signal After activating the row marker, the tramline is stepped forward. The control system identifies the “stopped sowing shaft” and steps the tramline forwards after the adjustable time. 4) Signal socket of tractor 2) Tail wheel (only with attached machine) When raising the tractor’s lower link, a signal is sounded and processed for stepping the tramline forward. The control system identifies the “stopped tail wheel” and steps the tramline forwards after the adjustable time. Caution: The configuration used must be set on the terminal! 0900-GB FAHRGASSE_8611 - 47 - TRAMLINES GB Tramline marker 1 Function: On laying tramlines, the row discs (1) of the tramline marking lower automatically and mark the tramlines just laid. The tramlines become visible before the seed has accumulated. 2 It is possible to adjust - the row width of the tramlines - the working pressure of the rpw discs Adjustment: Set the row width of the row discs such that the tramlines laid by the tramline coulters are marked. Adjust the working pressure to the soil by twisting the discs. Set discs approximately parallel to direction of travel on light soil and more towards handle on heavy soil. If the tramlines are laid asymmetrically in offset/staggered row, the tramline marker not in use should be secured in the upright position. Transport setting: Secure the tramline markers using the transport lock (2) prior to transport! 0900-GB FAHRGASSENMARKIERER_8622 - 48 - SEED QUANTITY ADJUSTMENT GB Emergency operation: Electric sowing quantity adjustment 1) If the electronics fail the sowing quantity can be manually adjusted Operation: Take the following steps: Electric seeding rate adjustment operation takes place through the Compass-Terminal. - Release connection between setting cylinder and adjusting lever by removing screws (60) The electric seed level adjustment is carried out via a Servomotor (1) and is used to adjust the seed level from the tractor. With this Servomotor every gear position can be started. 1 60 The seeding rate adjustment is made in percentage increments. - Determine work setting (using seed table or from Power Control Menu) These percentage increments are individually adjustable (see section "Compass-Terminal: basic setting"). - Move lever (62) into calculated position and clamp tight using star grip (61) When the [Application rate] key is actuated, the gear position is shown on a display plate (2) on the seed level adjustment, and over the in the Compass-Terminal display. This then shows the current output rate in kg/ha, the output percentage rate and the current gear position is displayed. 62 61 2 1) 1101-GB Saatmengenverstellung_8611 - 49 - Optional extra TRANSPORT GB General Transport Instructions - Bring machines into transport position; ensure suitability for transport. - Before driving on public roads, disconnect the Compass Terminal from the power supply (remove plug from tractor socket). - Riding on the machine or standing in the danger area is not permitted. - Adjust the transport speed to suit the road conditions. - Caution on bends: hitched implements swing outwards! - Any applicable road safety regulations must be observed.

Because of the various thousand grain weights (Tausandkorngewichte – TKG), dressing and other seed –specific characteristics, the values in the sowing table are only shown as approximate values. In every instance a turning test should be carried out before sowing. Important instructions! 1. A pre-turn of the sowing shaft is needed to fill the sowing elements. - approx. 10 rotations of the sowing shaft before the actual turning test - with grains around 1 turning trough full. Beforehand align the machine exactly horizontal behind the seed-box top After ca. 500m stretch a check of the control turning should be carried out. 2. With the upper discharge system seed types up to 3.5 mm thick (all grain types in the lower discharge system) are fundamentally drilled in chute position ”0”. Chute position ”1” is used when there is spraying or destruction (audible cracks) of seeds in the lower discharge system with large numbers of seed parts falling out. 3. With the upper discharge system, e.g. of rape, adjusting of the shut-off slide takes place depending on the free flow of seeds. The necessary practical monitoring of the free flow and the required adjusting of the shut-off slide is described in the chapter entitled ”Grain test” in the operating manual and on page 2 of the sowing table. 4. Always use bottom flap position “0” if rape seed is “undersown”. 5. In the lower discharge system with very low seed amounts a gear-setting of under 10 is necessary. Then with the support halve the sowing shaft speed and double the gear setting value. Next turn again. SOWING TABLES GB Grain test (for the upper discharge system) With the upper discharge system the correct position of the shut-off valve must absolutely be observed. This shutter position is dependent on the free flow of the seeds. It can be ascertained by the grain test. To engage the correct shutter position the following procedure must be followed: • Preparing the grain test - close the valve - fill the seed box with seeds (rape) - place the emptying trough on the seed line beam (see ”emptying” page 8) - lock the shut-off valve in position ”a” - the chute remains in position ”0” - make at least 10 sowing shaft pre-turns Carrying out the grain test: - The grain is to be collected in one or more spouts while the crank handle is turned until the sowing shaft has completed an exact rotation. The correct shutter position is reached when 36+/-4 seeds per spout have been run out in one sowing shaft rotation. If in shutter position ”a” more than 40 seeds per sowing shaft rotation are counted, the seed is not suitable for the upper discharge system. If less than 32 seeds per sowing shaft rotation are counted the shut-off slides are to be locked in the next biggest shutter position (first ”b”, then ”c” or ”d”). Important instruction - after every change in the shutter position at least 10 sowing shaft rotations should again be made - the grain test should also be carried out during the work in order that the orderly function of the upper discharge system is guaranteed. Sometimes the seed amount is reduced through clogged cups. When this happens the cups should be cleaned out with a brush.
