DESIGN AND FUNCTION PRINCIPLES
The pneumatic sowing machine is a pouring and sowing device of capacity 120/200/300 liters. The
sowing shaft is driven by the electric gear motor to 12 V regulated by the control unit. Speed of the sowing shaft
can be easily regulated by means of the control unit from the driver seat.
Alternatively it is possible to adjust the sowing shaft speed to the tractor speed either by means of the
gear wheel, or by the 7-pole standard trailer plug. In addition, its is possible to use a combination of the radar
sensor, GPS sensor or wheel sensor with the lifting mechanism sensor (optionally). The power supply of the
control module can be performed via the 3-pole standard plug or optionally directly by the battery.

3. BLOWER DRIVE - HYDRAULIC OR AUXILIARY SHAFT
3.1. CONNECTION OF HYDRAULIC BLOWER
With the sowing unit, you can rework the electric blower to the hydraulic blower, which is driven
directly from the trailer hydraulics.
Two hoses serve to connection to the tractor:

Operating Instructions
MICRO DRILL
9 │20
- Return line (marked yellow) must lead to the trailer oil tank without any pressure!!!
- Pressure line (marked red, BG3) can be easily connected to the tractor control unit.
- During connection of the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics it is necessary to ensure, that the hydraulics
at the side of tractor and device feature zero pressure!
CAUTION: Before start of the blower tighten fully the flow control valve! This is to prevent accidental
exceeding the blower speed!
3.2. BLOWER FOR AUXILIARY SHAFT
Always keep attention to drive with proper speed of the auxiliary shaft to prevent
potential clogging of the hoses.
In addition, the auxiliary shaft rotation direction must be kept.
Setting values:
Working width
1-5m
5-12m

Operating Instructions
MICRO DRILL
10 │20
3.3. SETTING VALUES HD):
The blower creates air flow, which transport the seed through hoses to the diverting plates. Required air
pressure and air amount heavily depend on the seed (type and weight), amount, working width and speed.
Thus the accurate specification for correct setting of the blower is not possible and must be found by the
operation test!
CAUTION:
In no case the air flow can be too low, otherwise the seed rests
in the hoses with resulting clogging! This results in high amount of
work, as the hoses must be removed and manually emptied. In addition,
the seed in the metering unit can be ground!
Similarly distribution of the seed can be adversely affected
with too low air flow!
Thus the maximum possible air flow must be always kept!
The air amount is limited by the spreading medium used, and it
may not damage during reflection from the spreading plate
and in addition it may not reflect too much to prevent missing of the
required storage place!
The blower speed increases proportionally to the oil flow.
3.4. SETTING PROCEDURE (HD)
Variant 1 (constant pump - oil amount not adjustable)
Screw the control valve completely in (- minus)
Start the blower (tractor motor speed as in the field operation)
Set the blower speed by the control valve on the control block
The control block protect motor against excessive speed
TIP: The hydraulic pump on the tractor must supply sufficient oil to prevent decrease of the blower speed
with decrease of the tractor motor speed or during activation of other hydraulic functions.
Variant 2 (control pump or oil amount adjustable on the tractor)
Screw the control valve completely out (+ plus)
Tighten the flow control valve on the tractor (set the oil amount to ZERO)
Start the blower and set required speed (slowly increase the oil amount)
TIP: The control block is sized to 80 l / min –if the tractor pump produces higher amount of oil, the system can
overheat; it applies also for tractor without the oil cooling.
CAUTION: Setting applicable only to the trailer used. On connection of other trailer the blower must be again
adjusted! Proper adjustment is necessary to prevent possible sowing fault at very low speed, resp. damage of the
blower at the excessive speed!

3.6. HYDRAULICS (HG)
CAUTION: Hydraulic equipment is under high pressure! With confused connection there is i risk of
switchover function and damage of the hydraulic motor! (e.g. lifting/lowering) –danger of injury!
During connection of the hydraulic motors it is necessary to pay attention to specified connection of the
hydraulic hoses!
During connection of the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics it is necessary to ensure, that the
hydraulics at the side of tractor and device feature zero pressure! At the hydraulic functional connections
between the tractor and the devices the connecting sleeves and connectors should be marked to prevent
fault operation!
Regularly inspect the hydraulic hose lines and replace them in case of damage or aging! The replaceable
lines must comply with technical requirements of the device manufacturer!
During searching for the leak points use the protecting equipments due to the risk of injury!
Liquids (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure may get through the skin and cause serious injuries! In
case of injury immediately get medical attention! (Danger of infection!)
NOTE: Before work on the device hydraulic equipment stop the device equipment, put the device to the the
zero pressure mode and stop the motor!
4. SETTING

CAUTION: The combination of the sowing wheels must be selected to set of the sowing shaft in the
control module in ideal case between 20 % and 80 %. Thus also during spreading dependent on the speed at
very low, resp. high speed the proper control and homogeneous feeding of the seed is guaranteed!
4.2 SOWING SHAFT DISASSEMBLY AND REPLACING
To disassembly the sowing shaft proceed as follows:
See the sowing table and selected required sowing shaft with relevant spreading amount.
Completely empty the vessel.
Remove the side cover for the drive rolls.
Remove the round belt from the driving rolls.
Unscrew the fixing nuts of the side cover plate for the sowing shaft.
Now remove complete sowing shaft with the side cover plate.
No it is possible to re-install the new sowing shaft to the device.
Assembly the removed parts in the opposite order
NOTE: During replacing of the sowing shaft pay attention to complete emptying of the vessel. Verify smooth
operation of the machine after installation of the sowing shaft.

Operating Instructions
MICRO DRILL
15 │20
4.3 SODDY FLAP (BROOM ADJUSTMENT)
The broom is installed above the sowing shaft. This broom can be adjusted by means of the lever on the
frame with the scale from + 4 to - 5.
If the lever presses the broom to the sowing shaft (scale values - 1 to - 5), the spread amount is slightly
decreased. If the broom is lifted (scale value + 1 to +4), slightly more seeds can be spread. Basic setting of the
soddy flap is 0. With this setting the tests of trimming for the sowing tables were performed.
With the soddy flap, the device is generally set to the spread seeds. With the fine seeds, which passes
very good, the groom must be generally set slightly inside, or minus, and with the large seeds slightly outside,
i.e. plus on the scale!
TIP: The soddy flap enables finer metering of the seed spread amount!
4.4 MIXER
The mixer is required only in case of arching of with the very light seeds (e.g. grasses).
If the mixer is not required, it is only needed to remove the O-ring stretched on the drive rolls between the mixer
and the sowing shaft.

Operating Instructions
MICRO DRILL
16 │20
4.5 WORKING WIDTHS / SOWING TABLES
The Micro Drill with the electric blower is usable for maximum working width of 6 m and with the
hydraulic blower up to 12 m.
The spread amount depends on speed of the sowing shaft and travel speed with the sensor installed. The
trimming test should be performed to determined the required spread amount before the work.
The sowing tables show spread amount for individual types of the seeds in kilograms per minute (=
spread amount of trimming test).
NOTE: The tables can be used as the information values, but it cannot be used generally, as it is influenced by
many factors, resp. large changes may occur (e.g.: weight of thousand of seeds, seed humidity, change of the
flow condition and many others).
Spread amount is determined acc. to following formula:
required spread amount [kg/ha] x travel speed [km/h] x working width [m]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = weight [kg / min]
600
Example:
10.0 [kg/ha] x 12 [km/h] x 6 [m]
--------------------------------------------- = 1.2 [kg/min]
600
4.6 TRIMMING TEST / SEED CONTROL
The trimming test should be performed to determined the required spread amount.
1. Remove the trimming plate located below the blower above the
deflection sheets (see figure).
2. Fix the trimming sheet to the sowing device and secure it with
the star screws to the frame (see figure).
3. During the trimming tests use the bag or vessel to catch the
seed.
4. Use the formula specified in 5.5 to calculate the required spread
amount per minute.
5. Search the speed required to achieve the required spread amount in relevant sowing tables
(Trimming tests / seed amount control).
6. Found speed of the sowing shaft is set by means of the control module.
7. Now the trimming tests is performed automatically (exactly one minute), whereas the seed without losses
passes through the trimming sheet.
8. Not the trimmed and caught amount must be weighed.
9. Required setting value can be found by correction of the speed for the sowing shaft and by new trimming.
10. In addition, you can slightly modify the spread amount by means of the soddy flap (broom
control, see Soddy flap (broom control).
11. Specified points must be repeated, until the required spread amount is achieved.
12. On launching the work you should verify the spreading on the field.. It is necessary to verify particularly the
travel speed, spread amount and arrangement of the diverting sheets.
