1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The FALCON SW disc sowing machine is designed as semi-carried and folding. It is connected to the
tractor using a drawbar with pins of Cat III in the bottom arms of the tractor three-point suspension (TPS). In
the front, there is a preparatory section for soil processing and levelling larger unevenness followed by a
pneumatic-tyred ramming roller that levels and compacts soil in front of the sowing bodies. Then there is a
leveller installed in the axis of each sowing body. At the end there are sowing bodies with compacting wheels
and a leveller. Some of the tyres of the roller are also used for transport in the transport position. The seed
container is equipped by a sowing mechanism commonly used in the standard ACCORD pneumatic sowing
machines. The seeds are carried by air flow through seed tubes to the sowing body where it is placed in the soil
in rows. The soil is then compacted by the wheel and levelled out with the leveller. 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 or hydraulic brakes.

controlling unit switched off if the machine is not used or if it is in the transport position.
The parts of the hydraulic system of the machine that are under pressure must not be disassembled.
The hydraulic oil causes serious injuries when it penetrates the skin under the high pressure. In case of
injury, immediately seek a doctor.
3.3. CONNECTING THE ELECTRONIC UNIT
Connect the electronic unit of the machine only when the tractor is standing still and is secured against
movement and intervention by third persons.
Put the display unit to a place in the tractor where it will not obstruct the driver’s view and where it will
be in the visual field of the operator.
To connect the electronic unit, use the feeding cable that is included in the machine delivery.
The connecting cable must be connected directly to the tractor accumulator!
The connecting cable contains the required sockets for connecting the electronic unit.
Do not connect the connecting cable and the unit to any other connectors in the tractor.

3.5. CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR OF THE FAN
3.5.1 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.

3.5.2 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

3.5.3 Commissioning
-When setting the required fan revolutions, the hydraulic oil must be warmed up.
-When commissioning the hydraulic drive, the fan revolutions (working air pressure on the pressure
gauge in the hopper) must be set gradually.
-Fan revolutions (pressure on the pressure gauge) are set by regulating the oil flow rate in the tractor.
-If the hydraulic drive is started with cold oil, it is necessary to increase the motor revolutions gradually
before the oil warms up.
-During commissioning and the first handover, the technician in charge of the handover must inspect all
connections of the hydraulic drive and measure pressure in the outlet hose. He must record the
obtained results in the handover protocol.

Turning the Sowing and Off
Turning the sowing on and off is controlled by two sensors. The system is designed so that the sowing turns on
at the beginning of recessing. Before the seeds go through the whole system of the pneumatic distribution, the
machine has already recessed and the delay in the launch of sowing at the beginning of the patch is thus
minimized. The sowing is turned off at the beginning of digging out.
TURNING ON THE SOWING
Turning on is controlled by an aerial sensor. The aerial sensor is set to turn on at the beginning of recessing. The
sensitivity of the switching depends on the position of the sensor set between the axle frame and the main
frame of the machine. It can be adjusted by loosening the screws (see the picture 10) and changing the position
of the sensor towards the holder. Furthermore, the sensor turns on the control of the machine functions.
TURNING OFF THE SOWING
Turning the sowing off (the electric motors of the seed feeders) is controlled by a pressure sensor located in the
hydraulic circuit of the axle lifting. The sensitivity of this sensor is set to the pressure of 7 MPa. When the
machine is digging out, the oil pressure is led to the hydraulic distributor and when the set value is reached, the
switch turns on and the motors of the seed feeders turn off.
Therefore, move the lever for the hydraulic control to the FLOATING POSITION after the machine has been
recessed!!!
The sensitivity of the pressure and aerial sensors is standardly set by the producer. Only a professional service
may change the setting.

Radar
The radar provides a very exact measurement of the travel sped which is important for exact batch of seeds. Do
not stay or move in the working area of the radar.
