2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

2.1. MACHINE DESCRIPTION

•The mod. AS1 seeder should only be used for working agricultural ground. If used in manners other than those described in

this manual, the machine can be damaged and become dangerous for the user.

•The mod. AS1 seeder can be used with equipment for working the ground in combination with a suitable assembly kit.

•The mod. AS1 seeder is suitable for sowing cereal: wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice; fine seeds and fodder: rape, clover, alfalfa;

large seeds: soy, peas.

•The seeds are deposited on the ground by coulter organs, cutter bars or discs, and are distributed continuously. The quantity

to be distributed is regulated by a special rotating doser, which moves by way of a wheel that adheres to the ground.

•The seeds are distributed and transported to the coulters by compressed air. The air is produced by a fan that is moved by

the tractor power takeoff, or hydraulically in the Vers Plus version.

•The disc or sprint boot coulter is mounted on a super-elastic support that gives excellent depth and pressure on the ground,

regulating the height of the seed bar.

The machine will operate well if used correctly and if the correct maintenance is carried out. It is therefore advisable to follow

what is indicated in this manual in order to prevent any inconvenience that could prejudice good machine operation and long

duration.

The Manufacturer denies all responsibility for accidents/injury/damage caused by negligence and the non-observation of the

regulations given in this manual.

The Manufacturer is, however, at your complete disposal to guarantee technical assistance and anything that may be necessary

for optimum performance and maximum return.

For the plan and the realization of the machine in object they have been examined and continuations the Norms of the directive

98/37CE which

UNI EN 14018 UNI EN 1553 UNI EN 982 ISO 11684 ISO 3757-2

2.4. SOUND LEVEL

If the tractor is equipped with a cabin, the sound level will depend on the soundproofing level of the cabin itself. If

the tractor does not have a cabin or is used with the windows open, the noise level emitted by the machine while

working and measured at a distance of 200 mm. from the rear window exceeds 85 dBa. It is therefore advisable to

use protective earmuffs as indicated in the regulations of different countries.

3. SAFETY REGULATIONS

3.1. USING THE MACHINE SAFELY

•Read the user and maintenance manual carefully before starting to use and carry out maintenance on the equipment.

•The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to people, animals or things caused by the non-

observance of the safety regulations.

•It is forbidden to use the machine for purposes other than those expressly

indicated in this manual.

•It is forbidden for people to drive the tractor if they do not have a current driving

licence, if they do not have the necessary experience, or if they are not in good

health.

•Examine the stickers on the machine carefully and respect the indications they give.

•While manoeuvring, do not allow people or animals to enter the operating range of the machine.

•Do not allow people, animals or things to approach the machine while it is working in order to avoid being hit by the clods and

stones that the machine ejects.

•It is forbidden to enter the area between the tractor and the machine to activate the external commands of the hydraulic lifter.

•Always remain seated in the driving position of the tractor, and only come down when the tractor power takeoff is disabled

and the handbrake has been activated.

•During work pauses deactivate the power takeoff,

switch off the motor, position the machine on the

ground and activate the tractor handbrake.

•Do not work without the protections.

•Do not allow the machine to operate loadless (i.e.

while it is out of the ground).

•Do not turn sharply if the machine is embedded in the ground, and never work in reverse.

•Always raise the machine when changing direction and reversing.

•During transport, or each time the machine has to be lifted, it is advisable to regulate the tractor lifting group in such a manner

as to keep the machine at a height of minimum 45 cm from the ground. Avoid using public roads if the machine is dirty with

earth, grass or other things that produce dirt and can cause traffic blockage. Do not allow the machine to fall violently to the

ground; instead lower it slowly to permit the gradual insertion of the blades into the earth.

•Not following the points mentioned below causes all the machine components to oscillate strongly, which compromises their

integrity.

•While transporting on roads with the machine raised, lock the command lever of the tractor hydraulic lifter.

•The machine and its accessories (if present) should be equipped with suitable signals and protections when on the road.

•Do not use the machine as a means of transporting people, animals or things.

•Do not work on earth or in places that can compromise machine stability.

•Only use the cardan shaft supplied by the manufacturer, which is equipped with the relative safeties against overloads.

OWNER'S MANUAL OF SEEDING

DRILL AS1

Old Cod.Q00A00136

New Cod. MANT2010/00634 R.2

SAFETY REGULATIONS - 6

•The cardan shaft protection should always be reliable. It should be checked periodically

and fixed using the chains to prevent it from rotating.

•Always disable the Power Takeoff when the cardan shaft is at an angle of more than 15°,

see figure.

•The seeder can transport chemical substances that are mixed with the seeds. Do not allow adults, children or pets to

approach the seeder.

•No-one should approach or try to open the seed tank when the seeder is working or ready to be used.

3.2. HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS

•When connecting the hydraulic pipes to the tractor hydraulic system, make sure that the hydraulic systems of the machine

tool and the tractor are not under pressure.

•In cases of operational connections of a hydraulic type between the tractor and the machine tool, all plugs and sockets

should be marked with colours in order to exclude errors. Should an exchange occur, the danger of accidents arises.

•The hydraulic system is pressurised. To avoid the danger of accidents, suitable auxiliary instruments should be used when

searching for leaks.

•Never exceed the indicated pressure of the oleodynamic system.

3.3. CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE SAFELY

•Do not allow unauthorised people to carry out maintenance or tamper with the machine in any manner.

•Maintenance and repairs should be carried out in suitably equipped workshops.

•Always use original accessories and spare parts to respect the manufacturer’s requirements. Not using original parts and

accessories renders the guarantee null and void and can cause function irregularities that prejudice machine safety.

•When carrying out any operation on the machine always disable the tractor power takeoff, insert the handbrake, remove the

ignition key and make sure that nobody boards the tractor.

3.4. CLOTHING

Always wear safety gear and clothes. Make sure no dangling parts are present as they may get caught in moving parts.

For the same reasons please always remove watches, rings, necklaces, wristbands etc. Long hair may be a danger as well,

please keep them tied.

If it is Always wear safety gear as required by your local authorities

(safety shoes, gloves, earplugs, masks, etc.)
