sufficient. Do not transport with the wheels in contact with
the ground.

Operation
General Operation Guidelines
1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough
to operate the drill safely.
2 Operate the drill at a speed of 6-12 km/hr (4-8 mph).
In stoney and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is
more appropriate.
3 Check that the drill is level during calibration and while seeding.
4 Check tyre pressure before seeding. Refer page 3.
5 Double check seed rates before seeding.
6 Raise the drill out of the ground when making any turns.
7 Raise the drill out of the ground before backing up.
8 Ensure the jack stand is in the raised position.
9 After prolonged storage, check to see that all drive
mechanisms and hydraulic equipment are functioning correctly.
Check that the seed tubes are not perished or blocked.
