Brief Description of the Machine

Once assembled, the pneumatic PÖTTINGER drill machine ”AEROSEM” (with quick coupling device) is fitted on to soil finishing

tools.

The seeds from the large hopper, that has a waterproof lid, are centrally batched for the full working width and then equally

distributed to the sowing coulters. The batching is carried out via a drive wheel, the air for the transport of the seeds – via the

distributor head to the sowing coulters – generates a seed shaft driven, low noise impeller fan (hydraulic fan fitting if required).

Through the simple, central, switching from coarse grain to fine grain and through the continuously adjustable oil-bath transmission,

all desired sowing volumes of the different types of seed can be selected. The hydraulic seed rate adjustment means that even

during operation, the seed rate can be selected to suit the different ground conditions.

Shoe coulters and broad shoe coulters can be interchanged without the need for tools. Alternatively, single disc sowing coulters

can be supplied.

The coulter pressure is separate on the coulter and can be

adjusted centrally with a spindle – or hydraulically when on

the move.

The disc markers can be fitted up to the middle of the shoes,

and are hydraulically switched; this means that the electronic

tramline switching and tramline demarcation are automatically

managed.

The numerous possibilities for fittings, the simple and

convenient operation and the short down times through the

simple, fast calibration and the easy emptying of

residue make the PÖTTINGER

”TERRASEM”, in conjunction with

the PÖTTINGER soil

finishing tool, a

powerful tool to

order.

Warning Signs (Pictogram)

afety Instructions

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!

Before coupling and uncoupling, set the tractor’s hydraulic unit

to „position control“!

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.

Ensure that there is sufficient space to manoeuvre (when the

hopper is full), and attach a suitable weight to the front of the

tractor.

Do not transport the machine with a full hopper!

On steep slopes (on contour lines) be aware of the centre of

gravity!

Before using the machinery and before driving it, ensure that

no-one is in the vicinity of the machinery!

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, fitting extra equipment or carrying

out maintenance work, lower the combination machine, turn

off the seed shaft and remove the ignition key!

Care should be taken when touching working parts that may

be hot from use!

Before turning off the seed shaft ensure,

- that there is no-one in the vicinity of the machine!

- that the RPM selected for the engine is the same as the

permissible RPM for the machine (1000 U/min)!

- that the link shaft is working with the prescribed tube

overlap and is not turning the tube guard with it!

Turn the fan equipment off immediately if the fan vibrates –

and check the fan impeller; it is dynamically balanced!

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!

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.

area

– set the ground pressure of the drive wheel on the turnbuckle

(11/1).

Possible settings (given in seed chart):

1. Proportioning wheel setting

2. Gear setting – along a scale

3. Bottom flap

4. Butterfly flap

5. Calibration flap (only change when calibrating)

6. Agitator shaft (remove agitator for rape)() and two fine

proportioning wheels (10/1 + 2) with three settings and RPM

adjustor vary the sowing rate. (Additional equipment for

peas available on request).

Dosing unit description

General

The dosing shafts monitor signals the driver if the dosing shaft stops

during operation (disruption to the drive).

Ensure that both sensor baskets are synchronized when running.

- when the left sensor shows a break, then the right must also.

- gap between sensor and sending container is 1-3 mm

Standard equipment

• a coarse dosing wheel (pos. 40)

• two fine dosing wheels (pos. 40a, 40b)

Optional equipment

• a coarse dosing wheel (pos. 48b)

- for coarse seeds like peas and beans

- for sowing quantities up to 250 kg/ha

• a coarse dosing wheel (pos. 48c)

- for hybrid seeds like linseed, grass, sunflowers

- for lower sowing quantities from 30 - 40 kg/ha

Adjusting seed quantity per hectare

Turning off

So-called

”Turning off

” establishes what quantity (kg) of seed per hectare

will be sown by adjusting the dosing device accordingly. Doing this

enables the dosing device on the seed drill to be adjusted exactly to the

desired seed quantity.

A more exact description of this is in the operating instructions for the

”Artemis” seed drill control found in the supplement of this operating

manual.

• However before proceeding with

”Turning off”,

the

notes on the following pages should be

observed.

As seeds vary greatly through specific weight, kernel size, kernel form and

seed dressing gear, the sowing table values are only approximations.

Therefore a trial turning off should be carried out.

Where variations to the sowing quantity occur, turn off again using an

altered drive position.

- use the accompanying seed disc as an aid.

Attention! For safety reasons, remove the crank handle

after turning off.

Note: The electronic tramline switch Multitronic II has a

"Turn off aid" function with whose support the number of

necessary turn of the turn off crank needed is calculated

and counted from the seed monitor for the selected turn

off area.

- see Multitronic II operating instructions.

FIELD OPERATION

Sowing with double row spacing

If, as an exception, sowing is to take place with half the number

of coulters (double row spacing), the flaps should be set to

the ‘non-sowing’ 2- way- turns setting - set the upper flap

lever up or down (22/1).

The gear adjustment should be set for double seed volume

kg/ha:

To calibrate the settings, take double the ‘desired seeding rate’.

Rotate the crank for calibration according to the chart.

For double or wider row spacing (e.g. for beans) only put a

small amount of seeds in!

Disc markers

Set the disc revolution point (the length varies according to

the working width and row spacing of the drill machine as well

as the tractor track width when marking rows: Fig. 23).

… at centre of tractor:

a) from coulter blades = half working width = A

b) from outside coulter = working width + row spacing = A1

... on tractor track, from outside coulter:

working width + row distance – tractor track width = A2

Example (result rounded off):

3 m working width (B = 300 cm)

12,5 cm row spacing (R = 12,5 cm)

170 cm tractor track width (S = 170 cm)

A = 150 cm (of tractor centre, from coulter blades)

A1 = B + R = 300 + 12,5 = 156 cm

2 2

A2 = B + R – S = 300 + 12,5 – 170 = 71 cm

2 2

- 16 -

0200-GB Einsatz_8551

FIELD OPERATION

The disc markers are operated with the tractor

control unit:

… at the end of a row set to ”up” – both disc markers

are lifted,

… at the start of a row set to ”lower”

- during operation, the control unit must

always be set to ”floating position”!

If the obstacles make the disc markers fold in during operation,

an unwanted metering impulse can be avoided by keeping

the disc marker vertical but not putting it into its final position.

If the disc marker is completely folded in without producing an

unwanted metering impulse, the tramline switching can be

switched to ”OFF” by pressing the tramline button twice (see

Introduction for Multitronic).

Load Limiting Device:

When operating the load limiting device use new shearing

screws:

M 10 x 35 DIN 601 4.6 (SK)

Note: Only use a screw of the quality given otherwise

damage can occur to the track marker through

overloading.

By twisting the rotary shaft (3) the disc can be set for more or

less grip according to how hard the ground is.

0200-GB Einsatz_8551

FIELD OPERATION

Hydraulic Seed Rate Adjustment

It maybe advisable to adjust to maximum seed rate

in connection with the hydraulic coulter pressure

adjustment.

To operate, switch the path valve (Fig.31) to the

appropriate setting (on the coupling).

Settings „Normal“ and „Maximum Amount“:

„Normal Amount“ – calibrate as usual; star handle

(32/1, page 10) but set as limiter behind the lever

(towards 0) – fasten tightly.

(Cylinder remains retracted.)

„Maximum Amount“ – Fully extend the cylinder, select

„Max. Amount“ by moving cylinder – at (32/2) – and

secure (32/3).

Re-calibrate.

Note: Do not clamp down the transmission select

lever!

Highest transmission setting for „Normal Amount“ =

„100“ minus required extra amount (cylinder path).

Loading Platform

When in operation fold up the lower levels (43/1).

In order to ‘calibrate’, ‘fold in’ the right platform part (43/2)

Never allow anyone to climb onto or ride on the machine (or

loading platform)!

Keep tread steps clean!

Set the machine down before filling and turn off the engine!

When filling the machine remember that dressings are irritants

and sometimes toxic! Protect yourself accordingly!

Loading Bridge

For filling of sacks from the trailer.

Attach the loading bridge to the ”AEROSEM”

Ensure safe conditions!

When filling is completed leave the loading bridge on the trailer.

FIELD OPERATION

Adjusting the sowing depth

Base setting for normal sowing depth

• Set pressure roller at same level as the discs (3)

(A1 = 0 cm)

- Carry out adjustment in the hole pattern on

level, firm ground (pos. 24). The sowing

shear should sit on the ground without

pressure (without spring tension).

Set desired sowing depth

• Starting with base setting for normal sowing

depth, set the gap ”A1” accordingly

- with that the pressure roller can be set at 16

positions in the hole pattern (pos. 24)

When operating in the field, check the sowing

depth and correct if

necessary.

Comb

Adapt the tine aggressiveness and slant to the

working conditions

- set working pressure (aggressiveness) using

spindle (27)

- set the tine slant by changing the pins in the

hole bar (27a)

FIELD OPERATION

Installation Instructions:

Mount the monitor in the tractor cabin.

Power supply: 12 V from 3-pole socket for constant

current (if this is not installed, a battery connection

cable with a socket or an adapter for the 7-pole

trailer socket (parking light must be switched on)

may be ordered from PÖTTINGER; see Parts List).

Fuse: integrated into plug – re-activates

automatically after maintenance followed by power

up.

Connect the cable to the seed drill. Take strain off

connection, see Fig.6. If the cable to the

„TERRASEM“ is too short, an extension is

available as additional equipment.

When driving on public roads, disconnect all

electronic equipment from the on-board power

supply (disconnect plug on tractor side).

Examples of Tramlines: see page 25.

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 tramline rhythms with even numbers start

at the edge of the field with half drill working width; select or

change to the corresponding turns:

Set higher flap lever down/forward (47/1).

If the fertiliser spreader is equipped with a spread limiter, begin

at the edge of the field with full drill working width and tramline.

Up to three sowing rollers may be switched off per wheel track

during tramline switching.

The seed for the tramline will be supplied to the tank by the

turns in the distributor head. The consistency of distribution

will not change.

The machine will turn off when the magnetic switch is supplied

with power; this ensures that operation may continue for the

full number of rows in the case of a power failure (flaps in the

distributor head turns may then be closed if necessary).

Adjusting to the width of the tramlines is very straightforward,

just alter the lower sowing roller hoses.

FIELD OPERATION

For asymmetrical tramlining, switching occurs

only on one single-sided 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.

(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!)

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.

2-way turns: at the tramline turns the upper flap lever must

be manoeuvrable between the impact hooks (48/a, b).

The lower flap lever is linked to the magnet (48/2) by a screw

(M 5 x 60) (48/1) that contains a reset spring;

Set the ‘screw length’ so that on connected tramlines the flap

is up on the outer side of the turn.

On normal turns (without tramlines) the upper flap lever should

be in the up/back position (47/2).

A maximum of 3 flaps can be moved with the propulsion

magnet..

Tramline demarcation (only in connection with tramline

switching).

For pre-emergence spraying the tramline track can be indicated

during sowing with the disc markers (Fig. 53).

Switching is handled automatically. The electromagnetic valve

is located on the front end of the machine.

Adjust the disc markers to tramline track-width.

For transport, the disc booms must be folded up and locked –

plug (Fig.54).

To make an asymmetrical tramline in off-set tracks (4S, 6S,

8S), fold up and secure the unneeded tramline marker.
