A.2.1.1 Introduction
37 of each 100 fatal accidents occur in agriculture industry. Compared to other business
lines, this ratio makes farming the most dangerous business line today.
The significant part of the accidents experienced in the agriculture industry is caused as
a result of users failing to obey the “safety rules and instructions”.
Agricultural equipment works in conjunction with tractors. In this respect, the two
machines cannot be considered separately. Therefore, knowing the fundamental rules
and instructions for tractor use are as important as knowing the safety rules and
instructions for the use of agricultural equipment.
With this awareness, it is important to know the instructions of use of both
products to prevent potential accidents.
A.2.2. Safety Rules for Tractor Use
1. Tractor must only be used by a driver who has a driver license and is trained.
2. Maintenance and operating manual must be read carefully before using the tractor.
3. Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) must be on tractor.
Do not use a tractor that does not have a roll-over protective structure (RPOS). The
ratio of the accidents and roll-overs resulting with death by using the tractors without
ROPS are significantly higher compared to the tractors having it. Thus, the use of ROPS
in the tractors without cab has been mandatory in our country since 2001. If a tractor is
used without ROPS it is very dangerous and it is highly recommended to install a ROPS.
4. In order the ROPS unit on tractor to be effective at the time of roll over, it has to be
used with a safety belt. Hence, safety belt will keep you in the safe zone at the time of
accident and roll over.
Therefore, the safety belt measure must be taken during the use of any tractors
with/without cab. This measure prevents you to be tossed out of the window or cab in a
potential accident.
5. Check the ROPS unit from time to time and ensure that it is not cracked or broken.
6. The noise level generated when working with machines makes the verbal
communication difficult. Therefore, using a common sign language among employees
is important. Where it is not possible to develop a common sign language, it is mandatory
to obtain unity in this subject to learn at least the statements such as “stop the engine”,
“slow down”, “lift the equipment”, etc. of hand signals for emergencies.

7. Tractor must never be used unintendedly.
8. Tractor must be serviced and maintained in a timely and complete manner in
accordance with the instructions given in the instructions of use and manual come with
the tractor.
9. Loose clothes must not be worn when working with tractor. Loose clothes may be
captured by the moving parts of tractor such as exposed joint, belt and pulley during
operation and cause serious accidents resulting with injury or death.
10. The important mechanisms of tractor such as draw-bar, seat, clutch system,
wheels, brakes, control levers, steering mechanism must be checked and secured
before the operation.
11. When working with devices –equipment driven by a power take-off, shaft protector
and protective chains must be attached. Attaching direction of shaft must be observed.
Steps must be used when climbing on and off the tractor. Articulated shaft must be
preserved by mounting guard to cover the joints and then secured by attaching chain to
prevent the rotation of the guard. The protective casing of tractor power take-off must
be attached and power take-off protective sheet must close the joint of the articulated
shaft at least until the center.
When fitting the shaft, the side with tractor picture must be fitted to the power take-off.
Shaft spacing covering margin must be at least 10 –15 cm for a shaft length of 1 m.
Periodic lubrication of the articulated shaft must be observed.
A shaft rotating at 540 rpm makes “9 rotations per second” and can wind a captured
object by 1.5 m. Therefore, pay specific attention that the shafts are guarded. Guarded
shaft is not adequate and the guard has to be fastened on an appropriate location with a
chain.
12. Never stand “between tractor and equipment” when fitting equipment on the back
of tractor.
13. It must be ensured that the device –equipment fitted on the back of the tractor is
lowered completely before leaving when returning from the work.
14. Tractormustbedrivenbyasmoothclutch.Suddenandharshstarsmayleadtotossing
and rearing especially when going up the hill or pulling a load.
15. Never get on/off a moving tractor.
16. At the end of the work, it must be ensured that brake pedals are connected to each
other. Otherwise, tractor is tossed in one direction dangerously in case of braking.
17. If using equipment is needed with tractor, necessary front and/or back weights must
be fitted. Also, tires can be filled with water (if permitted by the manufacturer).

18. Be careful and slow down when towing heavyload and only use a tow hook in towing.
Towing must be carried out byusing centralsuspensionand side drawbar if an appropriate
coupling arrangement does not exist. Failure to do so may impair the center of gravity of
tractor and lead to rearing/front lifting.
19. Additional weight has to be attached on the rear wheels and drawbars when a front-
end-loader is fitted to the tractor.
20. Before leaving the operator seat, the gear must be shifted to neutral, the power take-
off and pulley control lever must be disengaged and the engine must be stopped by
pulling the parking brake. In addition, the ignition switch must be removed even the
tractor will be left in a place temporarily.
21. The fuel tank must not be fully filled when working under the sun in very hot
weathers. The fuel expanded with heat may overload. In such an overload, the leaked
fuel must be cleaned as soon as possible.
22. Tractor fuel may be dangerous. Fuel must not be delivered (filling –draining) when
the tractor is moving, when there is an open flame or ignition and when smoking. A fire
extinguisher must be kept at an easily accessible place.
23. It must be ensured that the circuit is not under pressure before removing the
hydraulic pipes. The oil under pressure may have high temperature and kinetic energy.
In order to avoid severe injuries, shield, protective goggles and gloves must be used
when searching for leakages.
24. Never attempt to operate the tractor and/or to maneuver without sitting in the
operator’s seat.
25. Operator must check whether protective devices are in place and secured before
starting to work on the agricultural equipment and machine together with tractor.
26. Adjustment of the tractor brakes must be checked frequently.
27. Agricultural equipment and machines suitable for the power and weight of the tractor must
be used.
28. Operator must push the clutch and disengage the clutch if rearing and front lifting
occurs when working with tractor. The problem must be eliminated by finding its source.
29. Tractor must be used with greater attention in an inclined field and the front and
rear wheel weights must be attached as intended when working under such conditions.
30. When working laterally on an inclined field, the tractor’s track width must be
increased, operating speed must be decreased and attention must be paid to pits,
ditches and rough terrains to avoid roll-over.
31. Before starting the engine, it must be observed that gear and power take-off levers
are in neutral even safe starter switch is mounted on the tractor.

32. When driving down a steep slope, the engine brake at an appropriate gear must be
used and the slope must never be climbed down by using the clutch and/or by shifting
the gear to neutral.
33. The traffic signs and rules must be observed when driving in the highway traffic.
34. The negative (-) pole of the battery must be removed when the tractor is to be
operated on an electrical system.
35. When climbing on or off a hill (with suspended equipment), the hydraulic arms must
be lowered to an appropriate level and hence the load exerted on the rear and front
wheels must be compensated.
36. When hydraulic equipment fitted on the tractor is lifted, “never” work under it.
37. Feet must not be put over the brake and clutch when working with tractor.
38. Tractor must not be used when feeling sad, nervous, very stressful and tired.
39. When working on inclined fields, shifting must not be done unless the climbing is
over and the necessary power and gear suitable for the speed must be selected “before
starting climbing”. Avoid braking suddenly as possible as you can during climbing.
40. Tractor must be parked by bringing to a position perpendicular to the slope and the
parking brake must be pulled. The tractor stopped after parking must be left in the lowest
reverse gear in downward slopes and in the highest forward gear in upward slopes
depending on the moving direction.
41. In order to avoid tossing, moving speed must be decreased before applying turning
and single brake.
42. Tractor must be operated at an intended speed (one fold increase in tractor
speed increases the accident probability by four folds).
43. Pull-type agricultural equipment and machines must be coupled to the drawbar
assembly of the tractor with a tow bar and tow pin. Connectors such as rope chain and
pins at an inappropriate thickness and length must not be used for coupling.
44. Agricultural tools, machines and equipment must be easily coupled to tractor, and
the movement of the power take-off must be stopped with the relevant control device
and necessary time must be given for the rotation to stop before disengaging the
agricultural tool and machine from tractor.
45. In cases that semi-mounted type agricultural tools and machines are towed via tow
bar, connection rods and limiters (stabilizer chains) belonging to the three-point
suspension arrangement must be tightened appropriately.
46. The tractor coupled with agricultural tool and machine from the behind must not be
stopped suddenly.

47. When tractor is moving, do not climb over the drawbar assembly or towed
agricultural tool and machine, do not stand among the tractor and machine and do not
attempt to make any adjustment on the tractor and/or coupled equipment.
48. Before starting to work, the amount of field required for the work must be filled in
tractor. It must be ensured that the fuel level in the fuel tank is not below 1/4 level.
49. The radiator cores of tractor are fouled due to the factors under field conditions such
as dust, stem and straw. The cores must be inspected at the end of each work day in
order to avoid performance loss in the cooling system and must be cleaned in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, if necessary.
50. The first start-up of tractor must not be realized near the combustible materials such
as weed, stem, straw, etc.
51. Tractor must not be operated in closed and poorly ventilated areas where exhaust
gasses cannot be discharged.
52. Daily maintenance rules for the tractor must be followed every day. Following
system can be used in order to remember the steps to be taken:
(A.F.L.R.E.P) A (Air), F (Fuel), L (Lubricant), R (Radiator), E (Electrical equipment), P
(Precaution)
53. Necessary electrical system (parking light, braking light, etc.) must be available and
operable to drive in the traffic in the agricultural equipment and machines coupled to
tractor. Otherwise it must not be driven. (In our country, majority (65%) of the traffic
accidents caused by tractors occur due to this violation.)
A.2.3. Safety Rules for Agricultural Equipment Use
1. Check whethertheagriculturalequipment youpurchasedis compatiblewith your tractor.
Using equipment non-compatible with tractor constitutes serious accident and failure risk.
2. Check the surroundings before starting to work with agricultural equipment. Send the
factors such as children and animals away. Warn the people near you. Be careful that
there is no one inside the working area.
3. Besides the points set out in this manual, get information on the applicable general
health and safety rules.
4. Check the warning and lighting devices for the conformity to traffic rules. Ensure that
the lighting, warning devices and guards are compliant and functioning.
5. Drawbar assembly, hydraulic arms or machine must not be climbed during the
operation and transportation of agricultural machine and equipment.

6. Never stand among the tractor and machine when adjusting the levers of the 3-point
suspension system. The system controlling the hydraulic suspension levers must be
necessarily locked when travelling on the road open to traffic and the machine is
suspended.
7. Agricultural equipment and machines must not be coupled to tractor in operating
state by driver; an assistant must be kept available for this purpose to the extent
permitted by possibilities. If there is no assistant, tractor must be stopped, parking brake
must be pulled during the mounting of the connecting pins.
8. Agricultural machines may throw stones. Due to this hazard, tractor and equipment
must not be approached unless completely stopped.
9. Before starting to work, learn the machine components, moving parts and their
functions from our authorized service to provide the first start-up service.
10. Overall inspection of agricultural machines and equipment must be done especially
in terms of safety instructions when returning from work or before starting to work. If
there is folding and/or travel position option, necessary procedures must be followed.
11. Overall traffic rules must be observed on the roads open to traffic. Maximum
permitted width for the agricultural machine that you will carry behind your tractor is 3.00
m for highways. If the equipment you are using is wider and there is no option of folding
to bring in travel position, do not use the machine on the roads open to traffic. Transport
the machine in accordance with the overall traffic rules.
12. Use connectors suitable for tractor and equipment during the engagement of
equipment. For the equipment used with 3-point suspension, tractor and equipment
engagement categories must be necessarily same, and they must be engaged by
placing an adapter component between them if the categories are different.
13. Note that there is jamming hazard during the engagement of machine to tractor via
three-point suspension setup. Before engaging or disengaging equipment to/from tractor
via 3-point suspension system, bring hydraulic control arm to appropriate position.
Hydraulic arms may rise and fall accidently.
14. Do not stand and do not allow anyone to stand among tractor and machine when
tractor is not stopped, parking brake is not pulled and wheel chock is not placed.
15. If you have to leave tractor during transport and operation, never leave it in
operating state.
16. Do not allow persons without license, children, persons not trained and persons
whose health condition is not appropriate to use tractor and equipment.
17. Before engaging machine to tractor, attach the amount of weight needed by
equipment in appropriate positions.

18. Extra weights attached to machine and tractor adversely affect the maneuver and
braking capability of tractor. Use tractor more carefully and slowly since this situation
will reduce the driving safety.
19. Be careful when turning. The weight, width and centrifugal force of the equipment
engaged to tractor may take tractor out of control. There must be no one within the
turning and drifting area of machine.
20. No one must stand in the vicinity of hydraulically opening and closing frames during
operation.
21. Do not contact with moving parts even for instant interventions when machine is
moving. Do not insert your hand in seed and fertilizer box.
22. Check hydraulic hoses frequently; replace in case of wear or tear. Only use hoses
with specifications recommended by the manufacturer. Use protective equipment
(mask, safety goggles, protective clothes, etc.) when inspecting hydraulic system
leakages since there is injury hazard. High-pressure liquids (hydraulic oil) cause
severe injury by penetrating into the skin! Seek medical care in such a case.
23. Note that in case of reverse connection of hydraulic connections, functions will
be reversed, too. (Accident hazard!) Lower the machine on the ground if you are
going to do work on hydraulic unit. Reduce the pressure by draining the oil inside the
unit and stop tractor.
24. The hydraulic system on tractor has high pressure. When connecting hydraulic hoses
to the hydraulic system of tractor, make sure that the system in both directions is not
under pressure.
25. Lower machine and coulter before leaving tractor after transport and operation. Stop
the engine. Remove the ignition key.
26. Special knowledge and equipment is necessary for the mounting of wheels.
Therefore, it is appropriate that wheels are repaired by specialists. Tire pressures must
be checked periodically and air pumped, if necessary.
27. Double disk grain drills are designed to operate by moving on a straight line and “in
forward direction” only. Hence, it cannot move backwards or turn to the right or left
when coulter is contacting with the ground. When turning during cushioning, coulter is
lifted and then turning is done. If it is impossible, turning is done by using the widest curve
possible.
28. Any modification and repair made on machine by authorized persons will make the
warranty of machine void. Also, all material damages and liabilities to arise from such
procedure shall belong to the product owner.

A.3. Qualifications and Technical Specifications
A.3.1. Qualifications of Your Grain Drill
Before using your grain drill, getting to know the qualifications, intended
purposes, capabilities and superior aspects of the product you purchased
is essential to obtain maximum benefit from your machine.
Thus, your grain drill is designed to make seeding;
With a row spacing of 12.5 –25 –37.5 and 50 cm,
In sizes 0.5 –7 mm such as barley, wheat, canola, clover, sesame, onion
(seed), spinach, chickpea, triticale, rye, pea, vetch, grass and pasture mixtures
and poppy,
In the seeding of the seeds with a spread norm of 2 kg –400 Ha seeds per hectare,
Under dry and slightly mellow soil conditions,
With a seeding depth of 0.5 –8 cm,
With minimum seed/fertilizer filling due to its high box capacity,
In a well prepared and clod-free (rolled, if possible) seed bed,
With high speed and precision
Your drill can seed up to 18 km/h under suitable field conditions without performance
loss.
Caution:
Avoid seeding with your grain drill in heavily mellow, poorly prepared soils with rough
and coarse clod. If you have to seed under such conditions, ensure the suitable seed
bed conditions by rolling or harrowing (plowing) as a pretreatment.
Working capacities of disc grain drills decreases in heavily mellow/humid soil.
Therefore, prefer periods when the soil is dry and slightly humid for seeding.
