It should NOT

be an inconvenience or unnecessary to read the

operating instructions and to conform to them. It's

not just enough to take the word of others that a

machine is good, then make the purchase and believe

that everything will run like clockwork. Those who

take this attitude would not only damage their own

reputations, but also make the mistake of blaming the

machine for any possible failures rather than

themselves. To ensure noteworthy success you must

enter into the spirit of the machine, learn about the

purpose of every facility on it and gain practical

experience in its use. Only then will you be

satisfied both with the machine and with yourself.

And to help you achieve this is the purpose of these

operating instructions.

5 Assembling the seed drill

5.1 Structure and function

The pneumatic seed drill is both a spreading and seed drilling machine with a

200/500 litre holding capacity.

The sowing shaft is driven by a 12V electric geared motor, which is regulated via the

controller. The sowing shaft speed can be easily adjusted from the driver's seat using

the control.

The sowing shaft speed is adapted to the tractor speed via the speed sensor system.

The control module power supply is delivered via the tractor’s standard 3-pin socket.

5.2 Securing the control module

Fix the bracket supplied (standard feature)

in the cabin with two screws.

12-pin socket 3-pin socket

6-pin socket 30A fuse

IMPORTANT: Where possible do not role the cable into a coil!

Fitted to the underside of the control module is a 3-pin socket (= connection to

Steady plus on tractor), a 6-pin socket (= connecting seed drill to control module) and

a 12-pin socket for the sensors

(speed and headland sensor).

A 30A fuse is located on the right side of the control module.

TIP: Note the angle at which the module can be viewed in order to read the display

optimally. The bracket can be bent back slightly to set a better angle.

Fig.: 1

-7-

5.3 Electrical connection

The standard cable (included) can be directly

connected to the standard 3-pin tractor socket

in the cabin. Connect the other end to the

control module.

The (30A) fuse is located on the right side of

the control module.

CAUTION: The 12V power supply must NOT be plugged into the cigarette lighter

socket!

The machine should be locked again after operation is complete (various safety–

related reasons).

If the battery is being charged through a charger that is in the "Start" mode, this may

lead to voltage peaks! This in turn can damage the electrical system on the control

module if it is also connected when charging the battery!

6 Hydraulicblower drive

6.1 Connecting the hydraulic blower (HG)

On the TS200 and TS500 is a hydraulic blower variant which is driven directly by the

tractor’s hydraulics.

Two hoses are provided for coupling to the tractor:

- The return line (marked in yellow, BG4)

must flow, without pressure ({WITHOUT

reduction) into the tractor's oil tank!!!!

- The pressure line (marked in red, BG3) can

simply be connected to the tractor’s servo.

- When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the

tractor hydraulics, make sure that the

hydraulics of both the tractor and machine

are depressurised!

CAUTION: Before operating the blower, turn the flow control valve completely off!

This prevents the blower from unintentionally overspeeding!

Fig.: 3

-9-

For hydraulic seed drills, the BG4 coupling plug is removed from the tank line and

included in the accessories. Take note of the tractor's operating instructions so that

the correct connection is used.

The tank line is sealed with a plastic cap to prevent oil leaking out during transport.

This plastic cap must be removed before initial operation and replaced by the correct

coupling.

6.2 Setting values (HG)

The blower creates an airflow that transfers the

seed through the hoses to the deflector plates. The

air pressure needed and the air volume depend

heavily on the seed (type and weight), the quantity,

working width and speed.

Therefore, an exact specification for the correct

blower setting is not possible and must be

determined in field trials!

A guide value can be found under point6.3.

IMPORTANT: The airflow must never be too weak otherwise the seed remains in the

hoses and blocks them! This causes a lot of work as the hoses have to be

disconnected and emptied by hand. In addition, the seed can be ground in the

metering unit!

An airflow that is too strong can also have negative effects on seed distribution.

Apply the guiding principle:

As much as necessary, but as little as possible!!

The amount of air is limited by the spreading medium used, which must not be

damaged when bouncing off the spreading plate, and must not bounce too high in

order not to miss the desired depositing place!

The blower speed increases proportionally with the oil flow.

Fig.: 6

-11-

6.3 Setting procedure (HG)

Variant 1(Fixed displacement pump: non-adjustable oil volume)

x Close control valve completely (- minus)

x Set blower in operation (tractor motor speed as in field operation)

x Adjust blower speed with the control valve on the control block

x The control block secures the motor against overspeeding

TIP: The hydraulic pump on the tractor must deliver sufficient oil so that the blower

speed does not drop if either the tractor’s engine speed drops or through the

operation of other hydraulic functions.

Variant 2(variable displacement pump or adjustable oil volume on the tractor)

x Open control valve completely (+ Plus)

x Close flow control valve on tractor (set oil volume toZERO)

x Set blower in operation and bring up to desired speed (slowly increase oil

volume)

TIP: The control block is designed for 80l/min. If the tractor pump produces a greater

oil volume, the system can overheat, just as if the tractor has no oil cooling system.

IMPORTANT: Setting is only valid for the tractor being used. If another tractor is to

be used then the blower must be reset!

A correct setting is essential in order to avoid potential seeding problems through

underspeed or damage to the blower through overspeed!

6.5 Fan sensor and pressure switch function

The pressure switch (Fig: 9) prevents the sowing

shaft from being switched on as long as the

hydraulic blower fan is not switched on and thus

prevents the seed drill from clogging due to

unintentional or premature switching on.

The hydraulic switch 10) registers on the control

module when there is too much pressure (10 bar)

in the hydraulic motor tank line. This can lead to

the seal being destroyed.

As soon as one of the two sensors registers an

fault, the message "Fan fault"appears on the

control module's screen.

If the blower fan then does not run, rotate it and the

fault message should then extinguish, and the

seed shaft should be able to start.

If the fan is already running, then there may be too

much pressure present in the motor's tank line.

Possible causes could be an oil filter on the tractor

is too clogged or a tank line to the coupling is too

small.

NOTE It is absolutely necessary to reduce the pressure otherwise the motor could be

destroyed!

Fig.: 9

Fig.: 10

-15-

Hydraulics (HG)

IMPORTANT: The hydraulic system is under high pressure!

Swapping the connections causes reverse function and/or certain destruction of the

hydraulic motor! Accident risk!

x When connecting hydraulic motors, make sure that the hydraulic hoses are

connected as stipulated!

x When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that the

hydraulics of both the tractor and machine are depressurised!

With hydraulic function connections between tractor and machine, the coupling

sleeves and plugs should be marked so that operating errors are virtually

impossible!

x Check hydraulic hoses regularly and renew when damaged or aged! The new

hoses must comply with the technical demands of the machine’s manufacturer!

x Use appropriate aids when looking for leaks – Danger of injury!

x Liquids (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin and

cause serious injuries! Seek immediate medical attention if injured! (Risk of

infection!)

NOTE Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the machine, depressurise the

system and turn the motor off!

7 Settings

7.1 Correct choice of sowing shaft

Before filling the bin with seed, make sure the correct sowing shaft has been

chosen(coarse, fine and/or blind).

The right choice will be made according to the nature of the seed and the amount

tobe dispensed.

The standard delivery of the TS200 and TS500 includes 2

fully assembled sowing shafts

1 sowing shaft with coarse-toothed sowing wheels

(GGG)(Abb.: 11)

1 sowing shaft with one fine sowing wheel per discharge (fb-

f-fb-fb) (Abb.: 12)

Coarse-toothed sowing shaft application field:

General: for large quantities and/or large grain sizes.

e.g.: grass mixtures, rye, barley, wheat, oats, etc.

Fine-toothed sowing shaft application field:

General: for small quantities and/or small grain sizes.

Sowing small seeds like rapeseed, clover, phacelia, slug

pellets, etc.

TIP: Blind or extra fine sowing wheels can considerably

reduce the output quantity.

-17-

IMPORTANT: Care must be taken when selecting the sowing wheel combination to

ensure that the sowing shaft speed lies ideally between 20% and 80% on the control

module.

This ensures good seed readjustment and homogeneous delivery at very low or high

speeds, even with speed-dependent spreading!

7.2 Removing (changing) the sowing shaft

To remove the sowing shaft, proceed as follows:

NOTE When changing the sowing shaft, ensure that the bin is completely empty.

After fitting the sowing shaft, check that the machine is running smoothly.

x Remove the side cover using a socket wrench.

x Pull the round belts off the driving rollers.

x Unscrew the side cover fastening nuts for the sowing shaft.

x Now remove the entire sowing shaft with the side cover.

x Now the new sowing shaft can be fitted into the machine.

x Refit the disassembled parts in the reverse

order.

7.3

Bottom flap (brush adjustment)

A brush is fitted above the sowing shaft. This brush

can be adjusted, on a scale of +4 to -5, using the

lever on the frame.

If the brush is pressed further onto the sowing

shaft using the lever (scale value of -1 to -5), the

output quantity will be reduced slightly. If the brush

is lifted (scale value +1 to +4), the seed output is

increased slightly.

The brush’s base setting is 0. This setting was

used to create the calibration tests for the seed

tables.

The machine is basically adjusted to the seed the brush spreads.

With fine seeds which flow very well, the brush must be adjusted slightly in mostly

(so, a minus) and be adjusted out for large seeds, which is a plus on the scale!

During the calibration test (see point 7.8). pay attention to the wiping behaviour of the

brush.

7.4 Agitator

It is only necessary to use the agitator with seed types which tend to bridge, or seed

which is very light (e.g. with grass types).

If the agitator is not needed, just remove the O-ring which is spanned on the driving

wheels between the agitator and sowing shaft.

Fig.: 17

Fig.: 18

-19-

7.5 Shaft air plate

NOTE In the case of large seeds

such as vetch, peas, horse beans

or similarly large seeds, the shaft

air plate must be removed to

prevent damage to the seed

wheels.

7.6 Filling level sensor

The level sensor reacts when it is no longer

covered by seed! It can be set higher

depending on what quantity is required in the

bin after the sensor has been triggered.

The sensor can also be adjusted to the

intensity of the respective seed. This is set

with a small slotted screw located on the back

of the sensor.

When the sensor switches, it starts to glow and the bin is full!

Try this by covering the front sensor with your hand and it should start to glow.

This is an easy way to check if the sensor is functioning and if the intensity is correct!

7.7 Working width / Seed tables

The TS200 and TS500 seed drills can be adjusted to a maximum working width of

upto 6m (with an electric blower) and up to 12 m for the HG 300 M1 (hydraulic

blower).

The spread quantity depends on the sowing shaft speed and the sensor–

operatedtravelling speed. A calibration test should be done before starting work to

determine the required output quantity.

The seed tables show the output quantity for the individual seed types in kilograms

per minute (= the calibration test output quantity).

Not only are the standard sowing shafts cited in the seed tables, there are also

special versions.

NOTE These tables can be used as reference values however they are not equally

applicable everywhere. Many factors play a role and/or significant changes can occur

(e.g.: thousand-grain-weight, seed humidity, changes to flow behaviour, and much

more).

The output quantity is determined by following formula:
