You can start to fully use the qualities of your machine after you have thoroughly studied the operating
manual. The serial number of the machine is imprinted on the production label and recorded in the operating
manual. Please use this serial number whenever you order spare parts in case of a repair. The production label
is located on the central frame near the pole.
Use only spare parts for these machines according to the Spare Part Catalogue officially published by the
producer, the company Farmet a.s. Česká Skalice.
Possibilities of Use of Your Machine
The disc sowing machines are intended for areal sowing with the option to sow broad-line cultures into
strips. The sowing machine is intended for sowing a wide range of farming products, such as cereal, pulses, oil
bearing crops, clover crops, grass etc. The actual conditions for sowing individual farming products are stated
below. The machine is intended for aggregation with tractors with the output from 90kW, 117 kW, 161 kW and
from 205 kW according to the soil conditions and depth of sowing. The optimal working speed is 10 - 20 km/hour.
The machine allows additional fertilising by granulated fertilisers while sowing.

Technical Advice!
1) Transport/Brake System: Follow the national regulations valid for transportation of machines on public roads. Check
the legal provisions valid in the country and regulations on maximum permissible total axle weights and loads and also
on the necessary potential use of a brake system. If you have any further questions, please contact our sales
representative.

4DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The FALCON 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. There is also possibility
to have Farmet Dispenser (Roller replacement system). 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.

5ASSEMBLY OF THE MACHINE AT THE CUSTOMER’S SITE
The owner must execute the assembly according to the producer’s instructions, if possible in cooperation
with a professional service technician determined by the producer.
The owner must execute a functional test of all assembled parts after the completion of the assembly
of the machine.
The owner must ensure that the manipulation with the machine by lifting equipment corresponds with
Chapter „C“.
6PUTTING INTO OPERATION
Before you take over the machine, test and check it for any damages incurred during transportation and
check that all parts included in the delivery note have been delivered.
Before you put the machine into operation, read the operating manual carefully, particularly chapters A-
E p.9-13. Learn about the control elements of the machine and its overall function before the first use.
When working with the machine, observe the instructions in the manual as well as generally valid rules
for the safety at work, protection of health, fire and traffic safety and protection of environment.
The operator must check the machine before every use (putting into operation) for aspects in the field
of completeness, safety at work, work hygiene, fire safety, traffic safety and protection of environment.
If the machine shows signs of damage, it must not be put into operation.
Execute aggregation of the machine with the tractor on an even and compact surface.
When working on slopes, observe the lowest allowable slope accessibility of the whole set TRACTOR –
MACHINE.
Before turning on the engine of the tractor, check that there are no people or animals in the working area
of the set and press the warning sound signal.
The operator is responsible for safety and for all damages caused by the operation of the tractor and the
attached machine.
The operator must observe technical and safety regulations of the machine determined by the producer
when working with the machine.
The operator must lift the machine when turning at the plough turning end, i.e. the working parts must
not be in the ground.
The operator must observe the prescribed working depths and speeds set in the instructions for use in
Tab. 9/p.64 when working with the machine.
The operator must lower the machine to the ground and secure the set against movement before leaving
the cabin of the tractor.

6.1. AGGREGATION TO THE TRACTOR
The machine may only be connected to a tractor whose standby weight equals or is higher than the total
weight of the attached machine.
The operator must observe all generally valid regulations for the safety at work, protection of health, fire
safety and protection of environment.
The operator may only attach the machine to a tractor which is equipped with a rear three-point
suspension (TPS) and a functional undamaged hydraulic system.

6.2. CONNECTING THE HYDRAULICS
Connect the hydraulics only if the hydraulic circuits of the machine and the tractor (aggregate) are without
any pressure.
The hydraulic system is under great pressure. Check regularly for leakages and immediately eliminate any
visible damage to all distribution, tubes and screw joints.
When checking for and eliminating leakages, use appropriate equipment.
Use the plug (on the machine) and the socket (on the tractor) of the same type of snap coupling when
connecting the hydraulic system of the machine to the tractor. Execute the connection of the snap
coupling of the machine to the hydraulic circuits of the tractor according to Tab. 4.

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.
