2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The mod. JET-M seed-drill should only be used for working agricultural ground. If used in manners other than those
described in this manual, the machine can be damaged and become dangerous for the user.
The seeder mod. JET-M is suitable for use combined with implements Alpego for the preparation of the soil.
The mod. JET-M seed-drill can be used with equipment for working the ground in combination with a suitable assembly kit.
The mod. JET-M seed-drill is suitable for sowing cereal: wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice; fine seeds and fodder: rape, clover,
alfalfa; large seeds: soy, peas.
The seeds are deposited in the soil by means of disc coulters and they are distributed continuously; the distributed quantities
are regulated by an electric motor. The seeds are distributed and transported to the coulters by compressed air. The air is
produced by a fan that is moved hydraulically.
The disc is mounted on a super-elastic support that gives excellent depth and pressure on the ground, regulating the height
of the seed bar.
For the plan and the realization of the machine in object they have been examined and continuations the Norms of the directive
2006/42 CE which:
UNI EN 14018
UNI EN ISO 4254-1
UNI EN ISO 13857
UNI EN ISO 4254-5
ISO 11684
UNI EN ISO 4413
The machine will operate well if used correctly and if the correct maintenance is carried out. It is therefore advisable to follow
what is indicated in this manual in order to prevent any inconvenience that could prejudice good machine operation and long
duration.
The Manufacturer denies all responsibility for accidents/injury/damage caused by negligence and the non-observation of the
regulations given in this manual.
The Manufacturer is, however, at your complete disposal to guarantee technical assistance and anything that may be necessary
for optimum performance and maximum return.

2.4. SOUND LEVEL
If the tractor is equipped with a cabin, the sound level will depend on the soundproofing level of the cabin itself.
If the tractor does not have a cabin or is used with the windows open, the noise level emitted by the machine
while working and measured at a distance of 200 mm from the rear window exceeds 85 dBa. It is therefore
advisable to use protective earmuffs as indicated in the regulations of different countries.

3. SAFETY REGULATIONS
3.1. USING THE MACHINE SAFELY
Read the user and maintenance manual carefully before starting to use and carry out maintenance on the equipment.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to people, animals or things caused by the non-
observance of the safety regulations.
The seeder has to be combined with an implement (power harrow / rotary tiller / cultivator) connected to the tractor 3-point
hitch and the machine has to be operated by an operator
It is forbidden to use the machine for purposes other than those expressly
indicated in this manual.
It is forbidden for people to drive the tractor if they do not have a current driving
licence, if they do not have the necessary experience, or if they are not in good
health.
Examine the stickers on the machine carefully and respect the indications they give.
While manoeuvring, do not allow people or animals to enter the operating range of the machine.
Do not allow people, animals or things to approach the machine while it is working in order to avoid being hit by the clods and
stones that the machine ejects.
It is forbidden to enter the area between the tractor and the machine to activate the external commands of the hydraulic lifter
Always remain seated in the driving position of the tractor, and only come down when the tractor power takeoff is disabled
and the handbrake has been activated.
During work pauses deactivate the power takeoff, switch off the motor, position the machine on the ground and activate the
tractor handbrake.
Do not work without the protections.
Do not allow the machine to operate loadless (i.e. while it is out of
the ground).
Do not turn sharply if the machine is embedded in the ground, and
never work in reverse.
Always raise the machine when changing direction and reversing.
During transport, or each time the machine has to be lifted, it is advisable to regulate the tractor lifting group in such a manner
as to keep the machine at a height of minimum 45 cm from the ground. Avoid using public roads if the machine is dirty with
earth, grass or other things that produce dirt and can cause traffic blockage. Do not allow the machine to fall violently to the
ground; instead lower it slowly to permit the gradual insertion of the blades into the earth.
Not following the points mentioned below causes all the machine components to oscillate strongly, which compromises their
integrity.
While transporting on roads with the machine raised, lock the command lever of the tractor hydraulic lifter.
The machine and its accessories (if present) should be equipped with suitable signals and protections when on the road.
Do not use the machine as a means of transporting people, animals or things.
Do not work on earth or in places that can compromise machine stability.
Only use the drive shaft supplied by the manufacturer, which is equipped with the relative safeties against overloads.
