SAFETY

Safety advice

Set the tractor lifting hydraulic system to "Floating position" prior to any hitching and unhitching!

No persons may stand between the tractor and implement during hitching and unhitching; do not enter

the hazard area between tractor and implement when operating the hydraulic system external control!

Danger of injury!

Check that the drilling machine (with folded in track markers) does not touch the tractor when raising.

– e.g. at projecting rear window!

Ensure sufficient steering safety - if the seed hopper is full and particularly as combination; attach

corresponding front weights to the tractor!

Check the tractor and implement for operational and traffic safety every time before they are put into

service! The safety devices must be attached!

The user is responsible for safety!

Do not transport with the seed hopper full!

Climbing onto and riding on the implement (including loading ramp) and remaining in the hazard area

(swivel zone) are not permitted!

Lower the implement, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before leaving the tractor!

Only perform adjustment and maintenance work with the implement lowered!

Do not reach into the seed hopper and do not place any objects in the empty box, because at gear setting

> “0” any stirring shaft present will turn if the implement is moved; danger of damage and breakage!

When filling dressed seed and cleaning using compressed air, protect parts of body appropriately - the

dressing is irritant or poisonous!

Ensure that there are no persons near the implement before starting up or operating the implement!

On steep slopes (in contour line), take the position of the centre of gravity into account with hydraulic

front drilling machine (combination)!

Prior to first use and after a long period out of use, check the oil level in the transmission and all bearings

for sufficient lubrication; check the tight fit of all bolts. (leakproofness of the hydraulic system) and tyre

pressure!

You should read these Operating Instructions and the safety information ("For your safety") carefully and take heed of

them before taking the drilling machine into service; this includes the instructions for a combined cultivating unit.

The person operating the machine must be qualified regarding the use, maintenance and safety requirements and be

informed about the hazards. Pass all safety instructions on to other users.

The relevant accident prevention regulations as well as the other recognised safety, occupational health and road traffic

regulations are to be observed.

Pay attention to the "Warning signs"!

Notes in these Instructions with this symbol and warning signs on the unit indicate hazards! (See

Attachment "Pictogram symbols" for explanation of the warning signs".)

Loss of warranty

The drilling machine is only constructed for customary agricultural use.

Any other use is deemed not as intended and no liability is assumed for any damage resulting from such use.

Use as intended also includes the observance of the specified operating, maintenance and repair conditions as well as

the sole use of original spare parts.

Use of any accessories and/or parts from other manufacturers (wearing and spare parts) that have not been approved

by PÖTTINGER leads to lapsing of any warranty.

Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the unit as well as any lack of monitoring during use (... sowing quantity and that

all shares sow!) exclude any liability for damage arising therefrom.

Any complaints on delivery (transport damage, completeness) are to be submitted in writing immediately.

Warranty claims and warranty conditions to be observed or exclusion of liability are as according to our terms of delivery.

TECHNICAL DATA

Brief Description of Machine

„VITASEM“ are mechanical three-point hitch seed drills (Category ll).

„VITASEM“ can be equipped either with shoe or single-disc coulters as required,

„VITASEM“ has an optional coulter exchanger for shoe coulters and broad-shoe coulters or single-disc coulters.

Hitching with lower link pendulum compensation (optional extra) ensures good adaption to soil and reliable drive.

The sowing shaft drive comes from the right-hand transport wheel via a continuously adjustable two-directional oil-bath

transmission, which is capable of roughly halving the speed of the sowing shaft, and when set up for „over seeding“, will

also reverse the direction of rotation of the seed shaft.

For 3m the sowing shaft links can be switched off for each side individually.

The special thing about VITASEM is the fact that it has normal output in ”undersowing” with its multi-saw wheels and

individually measures out by changing the rotation direction of the sow shaft e.g. rape-seed in use for ”overseeding”.

To facilitate handling and safe operation the design includes, among others features, a water-proof hopper lid, a functionally

shaped hopper, a feed funnel for each sowing roller, level indicator, individual and central coulter pressure adjustment

and easy-to-perform calibration using the crank.

To adapt the „Vitasem“ to the various types of operation, suitable equipment is available: e.g. various types of harrows,

hydraulic row marker switching and lifting, electronic tramline control incl. a hectare meter and calibration, level indicator

and sowing shaft controller, demarcation of tramlines, hydraulic coulter pressure and seed rate adjustment and a self-

aligning agitator shaft for grass seed and others.

Display Tramline step and drive-through counter (7)

press 1x = current tramline step and drive-through counter.

a Tramline type and tramline step

b Symbol flashes when the driving speed is detected.

Note:

If the symbol does not appear, this indicates a defect.

The power-train and/or sensors are to be checked.

c Drive-through counter: counts the line passing-throughs automatically as soon

as the implement is set down from headland position. In the Settings menu you

can select from 4 options based on which these will be switched on.

d The field symbol indicates where work commenced on the field.

Start work left/ Start work right

e Display "Tramline is being set up!" This notification is displayed when a tramline

is supposed to be created during a line passing-through.

Note:

The notification "Tramline is being set up!" appears immediately

after switching on the drive-through counter.

The creation of the tramline as such begins only when the speed

has exceeded 1 km/h.

Operation:

Tramline tact can be changed manually using the arrow keys .

Key

Press for 2 secs.

The drive-through counter is reset to start value 1.

Press twice = STOP appears on the screen; counting is paused and the current value is saved (e.g. avoid

an obstacle). Press again = counting restarts with the saved value.

Displayspread rate (6)

Press once = Displays the set spread rate and gear setting (prerequisite: the

calibration was performed)

a current spread rate

b Spread rate in percentage of the calibrated value

c Gear setting

d Display: "Tramline is being set up!"

Optional equipment: electrical seed setting

The seed amount can be changed with a pre-set increment (%) using the arrow

keys .

Repeated actuation of keys is possible.

The spread rate values and the gear setting are updated automatically.

Note:

The minimum spread rate increment is 0.1 kg/ha. Because

the spread rate is rounded, it is possible that for low spread

rates you arrive at step changes (%) due to rounding.

The increment (%) can be set in the Settings menu - Seed.

The crank symbol on the display shows the number of times the crank must be turned to set the new gear setting!

If the spread rate is not equal with the nominal value set at calibration (=100%), when you start off, you will see an indi-

cation for about 3 seconds that signals the modified spread rate. The indication appears every time when you start the

engine and shows the percent value of the nominal spread rate with which you sow at the moment.

To turn off the indication, reset the spread rate to 100% with the help of the arrow keys.

Calibration sequence

Requirement: The emptying trough is attached.

Modifying display values with the keys

Save and continue to the next menu with the key

a Input of required seed amount per hectare

b Input of area to be calibrated

Seed quantity per hectare Area to be calibrated

< 30 kg 1/10 ha

30 kg - 70 kg 1/20 ha

70 kg - 250 kg 1/40 ha

> 250 kg 1/100ha

This setting affects the number of crank rotations required and thus the accuracy of the

calibration. The table above is a recommendation, so as not to affect the precision of the test.

c Gear setting

1. Adjust the gear lever according to sowing table (see Attachment)

2. Input the gear lever setting in the control system.

d Turn the crank until the sowing wheels are completely filled with seed

Note: Remove any seed from the emptying trough to avoid distorting

the weighing.

e Turn the crank the number of times shown

The Compass terminal now counts the number of crank turns backwards from the value

shown. In doing this the display will always show how many crank turns are still to be

made. The last 5 crank turns are also signalled acoustically to prepare the operator for

the completion of calibration A continuous signal tone is triggered when the value <0> is

reached to prompt the operator to stop calibration immediately.

Note: Rotate the crank slowly and regularly (about 1 sec per rotation),

so as not to affect the precision of the test.

Note: Inaccuracies from manual calibrations are automatically taken

into account.

f Display of theoretical calibrated seed amount

Weighing the seed from the emptying trough = actual amount of seed distributed

g Enter the actual amount of seed distributed in the control system

(if the arrow key is pressed and held, then the number increases faster)

h The gear setting required for the respective seed amount per hectare is calculated

and displayed. This value is to be set at the gear lever of the seed drill

The calibration can be repeated several times as a check.

Press key at the end of calibration in order to repeat the e "Turning" process.

Press any other key (except and ) to leave the calibration mode.

a Input of required seed amount per hectare

a Input of area to be calibrated

Possible settings are: 1/10 ha, 1/20 ha, 1/40 ha and 1/100 ha

This setting affects the number of crank rotations required and thus the accuracy of

the calibration.

a Input of the required gear setting according to sowing table (see Attachment) in

the control system The gear setting is automatically started.

The crank symbol in the display indicates the manual cranking required to set the

new gear setting!

d Turn the crank until the sowing wheels are completely filled with seed.

Note: Remove any seed from the emptying trough to avoid falsifying

the weighing results.

e Set back the displayed rotations with the help of the crank.

The Compass terminal now counts the number of crank turns backwards from the

value shown. In so doing the display will always show how many crank turns are still to

be made. The last 5 crank turns are also signalled acoustically to prompt the operator

to complete the calibration. A continuous signal tone is triggered when the value <0>

is reached to prompt the operator to stop calibration immediately.

Note: Inaccuracies with manual calibration are automatically taken

into account.

f Display of theoretical calibrated seed amount

Weighing the seed from the emptying trough = actual amount of seed distributed

g Enter the actual amount of seed distributed into the control system

(if an arrow key is pressed and held then the number advance starts faster)

h The gear setting required for the respective seed amount per hectare is calculated

and displayed.

i By pressing the key for 2 seconds, the new gear setting for the required seed

amount per hectare is started. When the gear setting is reached and the calibration

is completed, "End" appears in the display.

Note:

The display i indicates the completed, successful calibration. If

interrupted beforehand, then calibration is ineffective!

The calibration can be repeated several times as a check.
