SAFETY
GB
Before commissioning the seed drill, you should carefully read this operating manual and the safety instructions (”For your safety”) – and observe
them; you should also read the instructions for a soil finishing tool.
The operating person should be qualified in safety requirements and be instructed about the dangers by the instruction for use and maintenance.
Please pass on all safety instructions to other users.
The relevant safety regulations and the other generally recognised technical safety, health care and traffic regulations are to be observed.
Beware of the ”warning” signs!
Instructions in this manual with this sign and warning graphical symbol on the tool warn of danger!
(for explanations of the warning graphical symbol see appendix ”pictogram symbols”)
Loss of guarantee
The drill has been manufactured exclusively for usual agricultural uses. Any other use is considered as not in accordance with the requirements
of the law and the manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from this use .
Observing the prescribed operating, maintenance and upkeep conditions is considered use in accordance with the requirements of the law as
is the exclusive use of original spare parts.
By using external equipment and/or external parts (high-usage/wear and tear spare parts and other spare parts) which are not allowed by the
Poettinger manufacturer any guarantee is cancelled.
Unauthorised repairs or changes to the device and failure to monitor use (that all blades sow) exclude any liability for any damage which arises
from this.
Possible complaints on delivery (damage in transit, incomplete units) are to be immediately communicated in writing.
Guarantee demands and guarantee conditions to be observed or liability disqualification are in accordance with our delivery conditions.
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.

TECHNICAL DATA
Brief Description of Machine
„VITASEM“ are mechanical three-point hitch seed drills (Category ll).
„VITASEM“ can be equipped either with shoe or single-disc coulters as required,
„VITASEM“ has an optional coulter exchanger for shoe coulters and broad-shoe coulters or single-disc coulters.
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.

OPERATION
GB
Operating Instructions
- Bring the seed drill into a horizontal position with little lower link
play (use the upper link to bring the upper edge of hopper into a
horizontal position)
- For operation, set the tractor hydraulics to „floating position“:
Lifting hydraulics (or seed drill lift) and row markers,
- ensure the seed drill is raised high enough on headland
- To prevent the coulter from clogging, lower the seed drill while
driving away (not in a standing position).
- to avoid blade clogging
- Adjust the driving speed to suit the conditions to ensure that the
seed is placed at a consistent depth. (Solo operation at approx.
12 km/h in favourable conditions).
- Check all settings such as the calibration test: batching, shutters,
gate, transmission setting (fold up emptying trays and lock in
position)
- While beginning to sow – and then at regular intervals – ensure
that all coulters are sowing (no clogging) and that the seed rate
is correct.
- Seed dressing residue may hinder the seed flow. It is therefore
useful to perform another test calibration after approx. 2 hopper
loads.
- No liability will be accepted for deviations in seed quantity or
damages resulting from clogging.
- Give the spur wheel enough pressure on the ground – spring
tension
- Please ensure that the row marker settings and the tramlining
rhythm, including sowing roller stop, are correct.
- Gap between lower edge of share plate and ground approx. 51
cm.
- Never fill the hopper unless it has been hitched and always empty
before unhitching.
- When filling, ensure that no foreign materials (bits of paper, sack
tags) enter the hopper.
- Close the hopper lid.
- Observe the seed level using the level indicator and ensure even
distribution.
- For operation, fold up the collapsible tread step on the loading
platform.
- Given the hygroscopic nature of the seed (including dressing),
always empty the hopper when not in use for long periods.
Please note that seed dressings are irritants and may
be poisonous!

Multidrill Sowing System
To distribute all drillable seed types in the best possible
manner according to grain size, sowing rate and space
requirements, the VITASEM offers four regulating systems
apart from the steplessly controllable sowing shaft
speed:
3. Normal sowing for fine seed – in the normal sowing
variants the drill shaft speed can be halved as well –
through gear reduction (similar to Fig 15, only with fine
seed wheel)
1. Normal sowing – for “normal seed” like cereal amongst
others (Fig. 15).

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%.

”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.

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

REGULATING SYSTEM
Shutters
Shutters (24/A) have 2 functions:
- Closing / Opening the hopper outlet
- Setting the seed stock height in the sowing roller for
overseeding.
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.
Clogged cups may sometimes cause a
decrease in seed rate. Clean cups with a
brush!

CALIBRATION PROCESS
Set seed rate using the calibration test
GB
Also, without sowing table-gear ratio data for
example, the values from an initial calibration test
(with any gear ratio) can be used to determine the
new “correct” gear ratio which will then be used
to recalibrate (use accompanying “Sowing wheel”
aid).
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.

Take note!
Wear a face mask!
Tip:
Breathing in seed dust (seed dressing agent) can
cause health problems!
Turning forward is essential in obtaining an exact
calibration test result! Seed flow is stabilized, possible
dressing agent deposits are removed and all sowing
wheels filled.
4) Check the position of the slide gate (3) and bottom flaps lever (4)
are in accordance with the sowing table.

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

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!

Combination of tractor and mounted implement
The mounting of implements on the front or rear three point linkage shall not result in exceeding the maximum permissible weight,
the permissible axle loads and the tyre load carrying capacities ot the tractor. The front axle of the tractor must always to be loaded
with at least 20 % of the unladen weight of the tractor.
Make sure before buying an implement that these conditions are fulfilled by carrying out the following calculations or by weighing the
tractor/implement combination.
Determination of the total weight, the axle loads, the tyre load carrying capacity and the necessary
minimum ballasting

Follow the instructions in the operating manual!
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.
