1. Delivery check
Please check the Fine Seeder for any damages. Check the wires, air hoses and the hydraulic hoses, if any, for cut or pressure damages. Moreover, you have to ensure that all parts are delivered with the Fine Seeder.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Basic adjustment before filling in the seeds

Before filling in the seeds, you have to check if there is the correct dosing-roll in the machine and that the stroker above the dosing-roll is adjusted to the right grain size. The dosing-roll with the black dosing units is suitable for: Grass mixtures, rye barley wheat, sun-flower, vetch-/oats-mixture with peas etc. (in general big volumes/quantities). The dosing-roll with the red dosing units is suitable for: Clover, rape, phacelia, granular seeds, snail grains etc. (in general small volumes/quantities).

Beside these two serial dosing-rolls, we can offer you further rolls for other seed types or rows. The stroker above can be adjusted exactly by the lever. The stroker distance to the dosing-roll can be read on the scale by the lever: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th etc. slot slot slot slot slot 0 mm 1 mm 2 mm 3 mm 4 mm

The basic rule: The distance between the stroker and the dosing-roll is to be half of the seed s instance: Rape Rye Grass-mixtures Vetch-/oats-mixtures with peas 2.2 Changing of the dosing-roll large grain size, for -1 mm 2 3 mm 2 3 mm 3 4 mm

Remove the bearing plate for the dosing-roll by loosening the two finger screws. Then remove the cover plate by pulling up the spring-loaded pressure screw. While pulling out the dosing-roll turn it a little bit to the left hand side. Attention: Please do not handle to strong.

HE-VA MULTI-SEEDER

Pneumatic Fine Seeder

12.03.04

Before you put in another dosing-roll, please remove all seed rests in the fine seed hopper. The spring-loaded seal discs on the dosing-roll s side may not be fixed. When mounting the dosing-roll, it must be possible to push it gently over the shaft. 2.3 Switching on and switching off the agitator

The agitator should only be used with seed types which can adhere. To do this you have to pull out and to stick in the spring plug out of the hollow shaft behind the seed rate adjusting lever.

2.4

Test turning

For turning please remove the cover plate by pulling up the spring-loaded pressure screw. Then the test turning plate with the 7 slots is placed below the dosing-roll and the test turning tray is then placed below the test turning plate. Depending on the working width please turn the driving wheel x times to achieve the seed rate for 1/10 ha (see scale under the cover of the fine seed hopper + page 21). Turn the driving wheel as fast as it will turn in actual use in the field. If you cannot achieve the desired seed rate you need to slide the seed rate adjusting lever up (Saatmenge +) or down (Saatmenge -), and a new test turning is performed until desired seed rate is achieved.

2.5

Sowing in the field

While sowing the fan should always be switched on. Attention: There is always a delay from the operation of the dosing roll to the falling down of the seed.

2.6

Emptying of the fine seed hopper

For emptying of the fine seed hopper you must mount the test turning plate. Put the stroker in the top position and turn the seed rate adjusting lever to maximum. Please turn out the remaining seed by the driving wheel. For a complete emptying you can additionally pull out the dosing-roll and the fine seed hopper is cleaned with air.

2.7

Maintenance

The bearing at the driving wheel has to be greased every day. From time to time please clean the fan with compressed air. You have to anoint the chain from the gearbox to the dosing roll and the chain tightener is adjusted as required. To do this, you have to place the seed rate adjusting lever on top of the adjusting scale. Pull out the spring plug on the agitator. Then loosen the 2 M6-nuts, the wing screw and finally remove the cover. Then you can swing down the gearbox cover. Attention: The chain should not be stretched too much. The proper adjustment gear unit (grey box) does not need maintenance.

2.8

Additional Equipment

2.8.1 Retaining seed plate for the dosing-roll There is a retaining seed plate available for the fine seed hopper which prevents special seed types from adhering. The result of the retaining seed plate is that only so many seeds or granulates fall into the dosing-roll as the dosing roll brings out (e.g. phacelia, fertilizer, granulates). For all other seeds the retaining seed plate has to be dismantled or placed in the top position.

2.8.2 Hectare counter Please mount the hectare counter on the three designated boreholes. First fill in the long shaft into the big borehole and then push the throw-out lever on the shaft. Then you have to put the shaft in a designated borehole. Adjust the throw-out lever so that a secured counting is guaranteed. To calculate the area you have to divide the number on the hectare counter by the proportional number from the test turning scale (see scale under the cover of the fine seed hopper + page 21). Then you have the area in ha. For example: On the hectare counter you find the number 720. Working width of the machine is 3 m. According to the scale under 3 m you find the number 220. So you have to divide 720 : 220 = 3,273 x 1/10 ha = 0,33 ha 2.8.3 Seed-Controller Operating Instructions

Then keep down the E key permanently and at the same time increase or reduce the stated value in metre on one of the arrow keys. After letting go of the E key, the new value will be stored automatically. NB: In order to achieve a precise area measurement, the wheel circumference shall be checked or fixed precisely as a test in the field. The procedure is as follows: Place a visible indication on the driving wheel by means of adhesive tape or similar. In the field where the Fine Seeder shall work, you drive distance approximately corresponding to 25-50 wheel revolutions. Then measure the distance by a tape measure and divide by the number of wheel revolutions. Distance driven in m No. of wheel revolutions =

wheel circumference in m

With a standard steel driving wheel the result of the wheel circumference shall be approximately 1,51 m.

3. Mounting Instructions
Procedure:

3.1 Mounting of the Pneumatic Fine Seeder Please mount the Fine Seeder in the middle of the basic machine, so that you easily can do the test turning. When seeding big quantities (up to 30 kg / ha) the hoses should be laid in an angle of inclination of 20 30 from the dosing-roll to the distribution plates. Hereby you prevent the seeds from stopping up. For the fastening of the hoses please loosen/tighten the holding plate for hose with the 2 wing screws on the under side of the aluminium-block.

3.2 Distribution plates Please mount the distribution plates about 20 40 cm above ground. All 8 distribution plates are divided on the whole working width 8 distribution plates for working width up to 6.30 m. With a working width from 6.3 m to 12.0 m, 8 double distributor units are to be mounted for use of 16 distribution plates. All 16 distribution plates are divided on the whole working width. For example: Working width 3 m 3 m : 8 = 37.5 cm Working width 8.2 m 8.2 m : 16 = 51.25 cm

The distance from middle distribution plate to middle distribution plate is therefore - in case of a basic machine of 3 m: 37.5 cm and - in case of a basic machine of 8.2 m: 51.25 cm. Place the first distribution plate half a distance away from the exterior part of the working width. The distribution plates can also be adjusted with a pair of tongs in order to achieve an optimal distribution of seeds depending on the mounting height of the distribution plates. The spreading picture can be controlled on a concrete floor.

3.3 Driving wheel While you are working, the pivoting arm of the driving wheel is to be in a horizontal position. The lowest bending of the flexible driving cable = 30 cm. Important: The input shaft (the point where the flexible driving cable is connected) has to turn in an anticlockwise direction (left turn).

5.1 Test turning At first adjust the stroker above the dosing-roll to the right grain size (1/2 grain size: e.g rape -1 mm, grass-mixtures 2 - 3 mm, cereals 3 - 4 mm etc.; see instructions). For turning please remove the cover plate. Then put the test turning plate with the 7 slots below the dosing-roll and place the test turning tray below the test turning plate. Depending on the working width please turn the driving wheel x times to achieve the seed rate for 1/10 ha (see the above scale). Turn the driving wheel as fast as it will turn in actual use in the field. If you cannot achieve the desired seed rate you need to slide the seed rate adjusting lever up (Saatmenge +) or down (Saatmenge -), and a new test turning is performed until desired seed rate is achieved. If the seed rate adjusting lever gets under mark 8, you should put in a dosing-roll with smaller cells in order to achieve closer accuracy. 5.2 Changing of the dosing-roll Remove the bearing plate for the dosing-roll by loosen the two finger screws. Now the dosing-roll can be removed. Before you push another dosing-roll over the shaft, please remove all seed rests in the Fine Seeder. 5.3 Maintenance From time to time please clean the fan with compressed air. The bearing at the driving wheel has to be greased every day.
