4.0 ADJUSTING THE WORKING DEPTH

The working depth can be adjusted by adjusting the sliding foot of the seed blades.

Loosen the bolts (1). Now move the sliding feet (2) to the desired depth, from 5 to 30 mm working depth. (Fig. 8)

Fig.8

Fig. 9

!! Please note that front and rear sliding foot the same depth are set and parallel.

The rear roller should also be set to the desired depth.

The rear roller can also be mounted floating. This can be done by loosening pin and lock pin (1).

The spindles (2) can be mount in the seed hopper (3). (Fig. 9)

The machine can be equipped with additional weights.(see chapter 15), and/or filling the rear roller with water.

If the rear roller is filled with water, empty it before it starts freezing.

11

The seed quantity can be set on the

Overseeder by using various change gears.

These provide various combinations for a broad range of settings (see Tab 1).

The gears have been marked with a number given in Tab. 1; by changing the gears as indicated, the required quantity setting is obtained.

The different combinations of gears have been installed in the seed tray.

These quantities are determined with a slit distance of 0.3 mm between the seeding roller and the pressure plate (see section 14.0 for setting).

In practice the quantities described in Tab. 1 may deviate to some extent due to other measuring/working conditions.

In order to determine exactly the right seeding quantity for the seed used, it is recommended to carry out a spreading test (see section 14.2).

12

The user is responsible for the transport of the Overseeder behind the tractor when travelling on public roads. Check the national traffic rules. In view of the weight of the Overseeder, a maximum speed of 20 km/h (12.4 mph) should be observed while driving in open fields with the machine raised. Higher speeds may endanger the driver and/or other people and even damage the machine.

Make sure the top link (3), see Fig. 7, is connected and tensioned in the conveyor.

If this is not case, the machine could sustain serious damage.

When the machine is lifted off the ground, at least 20% of the weight of the tractor must rest on the front axle.

The driving speed is limited to 12 km/h (7.5 mph).

Higher speeds are not recommended in view of excessive wear and damage that may occur to the machine due to, for example, rocks in the ground.

Some general remarks/tips on the use of the Overseeder.

A field can be tilled 2 or 3 times in different directions in order to obtain a higher seeding density and for seeding in a diamond shape.

Do not make sharp turns, preferably drive in straight lines to avoid damaging the machine and/or the ground.

When hitting a hard object in the soil, the cutting elements may be burred/damaged. Try to file burrs away or replace the cutting element.

When the cutting elements become wet, the seed may stick and accumulate between the cutting elements.

Make sure the cutting elements do not become wet or postpone the work.

NEVER drive backwards while the running wheel is on the ground.

Before using the Overseeder in the field, check the following:

1.

Are there any loose objects in the field? Remove these first.

2.

Are there any slopes? The maximum slope this machine can work on is 20 degrees.

Always work downhill.

3.

Does the ground contain hard objects? If so, use the Overseeder at a low speed and adjust the working depth.

4.

Is there any danger of flying objects, such as golf balls, which may distract the attention of the driver? If so, do NOT use the Overseeder.

5.

Is there any danger of sinking or sliding away? If so, postpone the work.

6. If the soil is frozen or very wet, the work should be postponed until the conditions are more favourable.

13

10.0 STARTING/STOPPING PROCEDURE

Before starting the seeding, check the machine for the following points:

While checking the machine/tractor combination must be fully locked to prevent it from driving/sliding/sinking away. The tractor engine must be switched off.



Check the seeding elements for damage and repair if necessary.



Check if the passage to the seeding elements is not blocked (e.g. funnels).



Check if the machine is not wet or moist, in particular the seeding device.

If the seed production does not correspond with the table, the seeding slit may need adjustment.

This is done as follows: (see fig. 11)

1. Loosen all lock nuts (3).

2. Adjust bolt (4) such that a feeler gauge of 0.3 mm (0.01”) can be slit just between the roller

(1) and the adjustment plate.

3. Check all bolts (4) and calibrate the slit opening between roller (1) and adjustment plate (2) along the entire width of the machine to 0.3 mm (0.01”).

4. Turn roller (1) half a turn and measure the slit opening.

If necessary adjust it to 0.3 mm (0.01”) by turning bolt (4) in or out.

5. Tighten the lock nuts (3).

The split opening should be equal along the entire width of the roller.

The slit opening must have the same size as the smallest seed part. This opening is default set to 0.3mm (0.01”).

14.1 ADJUSTING THE SEED-TRAY SCRAPER

When the seeding tray is spoiling seed, the scraper setting may be incorrect.

To adjust this, proceed as follows (see fig. 11):

1. Loosen bolts and nuts (6).

2. Move scraper (5) up or down until the correct setting has been obtained.

3. Re-tighten the bolts and nuts (6).

The distance between roller (1) and scraper (5) is default set to 0.8mm (0.03”) and should be equally set along the entire width of the roller.

18

14.2 SPREADING TEST

If the seeding device needs recalibration for a certain seed type or if it must be checked for proper operation in accordance with the seed table (see section 5.0 Tab 1) a spreading test is to be carried out.

This is done as follows: (see fig. 12).

Fig. 12

1. Place the machine safely on the support legs on a level surface.

!! Make sure the tractor is secured in place and cannot start moving !!


2. First of all check the seeding slit opening for correct setting (see section 14.0).

222.180.002

222.220.002

The kit contains cylinders, drawbar, bogy, hydraulic hoses, brackets, rods + rings and fixing material consisting of a number of bolts and nuts. (Fig 15)

Mounting the parts of a bogy kit, proceed as follows:

- Replace nut (1) and pull back pin (2). Note that the rear roller does not fall on the ground.

- Remove bush (3) and slide the pivot point of the bogy-frame (4) in this place.

- Insert pin (2) and mount nut (1).

- Mount cylinder bracket (5) to the frame with the supplied bolt and nuts.

- Mount the cylinders (11) between the brackets and the bogy. Note that the rod side pointing upwards and connection check valve inside.

- Mount wheel shaft (8) to the frame using the supplied spacer (9) and the mounting plates

(7+10).

- At the front of the machine must be mounted the draw bar(15). These can be mounted by fastening it with standard fixing pins at the lower 3-point plates.

- Then install cylinder (16) with two stop cylinders (17) between the top 3-point suspension and drawbar, using the included pins and circlips (13+14).

- Then place the various hydraulic couplings(12) and hoses.

- See parts pages for exact position and sequence hydraulic components.

SETTING LIFTING / LOWERING ORDER

The Overseeder has a separately lifting system. (Fig.16)

These are located at the front of the machine and can be set separately lifting the tow bar as wheelset.

The speed of lifting and lowering can be adjusted by rotating the restrictors (4, 5 and 6).

Clockwise = slower, Counter clockwise = faster.

Because of the restriction (4) turning the machine lifting or lowering speed. The setting is different for each circumstance and should be experimentally established.

In addition, it is possible to change the order of lifting and lowering. By setting valve (5 or 6) it’s possible to adjust the sequence of lowering and lifting off the rear wheels. When changed the rear wheels can be set slower or equal to the draw bar speed.

Clockwise = slower, Counter clockwise = faster.

When the correct setting is reached fix the throttle with the screw beside the knob.

Connect the machine to the tractor.

Adjust the pin 1 using the rings (2) of the stop cylinders (3) so that the machine is on working depth and slides with the cutting guides of the seed discs flat on the ground, but still putting pressure on the tow bar.

!! WARNING! BE CAREFUL !!

IF THE CHOKES ARE OPENED TOO FAR, THE MACHINE CAN LOWER VERY

QUICKLY, CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION !!
