1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The EXCELENT Premium share sowing machine has a half-carried collapsible construction. The
connection to the tractor is executed with the use of the pole with bolts of Cat III to the lower shoulders of the
tractor three-point mounting. In the front of the machine, there are land levellers for levelling larger bumps,
pneumatic edger rolls that solidify, level and compact soil with shares. Then there are working parts of the
ploughshares located on the frame that are secured by a spring protection. Behind the shares, there are harrowing
pins and a double pneumatic treader. Some of the tyres of the rear roll also serve for transport in the transport
position. The seed container is equipped by a sowing mechanism commonly used in the standard ACCORD
pneumatic sowing machines. Seeds are carried by a flow of air through seed tubes behind the shares where they
are placed under the raised layer of soil. Seeds get to the solid underlay and they are covered by a processed layer
of soil which is, moreover, treated by the harrowing pins and stiffened by the roll. The seeding mechanism is
driven by electric motors. The fan for the transport of seeds is driven by hydraulic motor from the hydraulic
circuit of the tractor. The machine is equipped with central markers and markers of rail lines. The electronic
system of the machine allows checking the functions of the machine, regulation of the sowing batch and
formation of rail lines. The transport wheels may be equipped with pneumatic brakes.

is nobody near the semi-trailer!
2. Reverse the tractor to the semi-trailer and connect the machine to the arms of the tractor and the snap
coupling of the hydraulics according to chapters 3.1 and 3.2. The machine is placed on the shares on the
semi-trailer and it needs to be lifted to the transportation position.
3. Then release the ball valve of the axle (located on the frame on the left side under the service bridge and
the access ladder).

Picture 9 –Securing the axle
6. Then tip the rolls of the side frames back into the transport position by the hydraulic lever (folding back
into the machine).
7. Subsequently, you can remove the machine from the semi-trailer with increased caution and lay it by. Push
the machine on flat land, lift it on the axle and lean it against the side leg. Secure the wheels of the axle
against movement.
3.5. UNFOLDING AND FOLDING MACHINE
When executing any of the hydraulic movements, slow down the moving parts of the machine before position
stop by choking a relevant valve on the tractor control!
The hydraulics of the machine must be connected to a push-pull hydraulic circuit.
The operator must ensure that there are no people or animals within the reach of the side frames during
their unfolding or folding (i.e. in the place of their position stop) and that no one puts their fingers or other
body parts into the area of the joints.
Execute unfolding or folding on flat and solid surfaces or crosswise to a slope.
Unfold or fold the machine only when it is lifted on the axle.
Remove any soil stuck on the folding places as it may disturb the function and cause damage to the
mechanics.
Monitor the side frames during unfolding or folding and fold them smoothly until the end position.
3.5.1 Unfolding the Machine
1. Release the catches of the side frames so that the exclamation mark is covered, which means that the frames
are released, see Picture 10/p.16, and open the ball valve of the side frames, Picture 19/p.17.

4. After a complete unfolding of the machine, pressurize the circuit so that the pressure manometer shows
pressure according to the relevant machine type. This is necessary for the proper function of side frames tracing.
After that turn off the function folding/unfolding on the display unit so that the button is red again and press the
function lowering/lifting so that the button is green.

3.6. CONNECTONG THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR OF THE FAN
3.6.1 Description of the function
The hydraulic fan is powered directly from the tractor´s hydraulic system.
For proper operation, the hydraulic pump of the tractor must supply sufficient amount of oil so that the fan
revolutions are not affected by decreased number of revolutions of the tractor engine or by another hydraulic
circle being switched on.
The fan revolutions are set by regulating the oil flow rate. To change the fan revolutions, the tractor must be
equipped with regulation of the oil flow rate.
A pressure filter is incorporated in the hydraulic drive in such a way so as to catch any impurities coming to the
hydraulic motor together with the oil. The hydraulic motor is thus protected from damage.

3.6.2 Proper connection to the tractor
For proper connection, the following facts must be observed:
Outlet hose
-Do not connect the outlet hose to the tractor distributor! (pressure in the reverse branch would thus be
increased)
-Large quick coupling on the outlet hose must not be confused with the small one
-Oil returning through the outlet pipe must not be throttled anywhere
-Maximum allowed pressure value in the outlet hose is 5 bar, higher pressure pushes the shaft seal out,
which causes damage to the hydraulic motor fan
Pressure hose
-Connect the pressure hose to the circuit giving priority to the oil supply
Picture 24.2 –Position of quick couplings in the tractor
1. Connecting the outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (outer ⌀27 mm) with the large quick coupling to the free drain to the tractor tank.
In case that there is no free drain to the tank attached to the tractor as standard, please contact the
tractor manufacturer (dealer) for information regarding the possibilities of a free drain end piece.
