1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
We thank you for having chosen a LIPCO Sowing Machine SMD. We
hope that you will be happy with your choice.
In order that your LIPCO Sowing Machine will serve you well for many
years, we ask you to pay close attention to the operating instructions
which you will find in this manual. This will help you to prevent
breakdowns and accidents resulting from non-observance of the
operating instructions, for which our company will not accept
responsibility.
This Instruction and Maintenance Manual is to be considered an
integral part of the machine itself and therefore it must always
accompany the machine when it is sold, even in the event of its sale
to third parties.
If you keep this manual in a safe place and in good condition, you -
and whoever must use the machine - will be able to have a complete
reference on hand at all times.
Note:
The illustrations, descriptions and specifications in this manual are not
binding. LIPCO reserves the right to make modifications without
notice.

3. Designated use
The LIPCO Sowing Machine SMD, when mounted on the LIPCO
Reversing Harrow UFD and connected to (small) tractors, is designed
to be used for sowing seed over the entire area of grassland.
The LIPCO Sowing Machine SMD is not designed to apply plant
protection products or bait.
Any other use for purposes other than those described here is
considered contrary to the designated use. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage resulting from such use; the risk for such
use lies entirely with the user.
Operating the unit within the limits of its designated use also means
following the instructions for operation, transport and maintenance
described by the manufacturer.
Any work, maintenance and repair on the LIPCO Sowing Machine
SMD must be carried out by persons who are familiar with the unit and
have been informed about possible risks!
The relevant accident prevention regulations as well as the other
generally recognised maintenance, safety, industrial medicine and
road traffic rules and instructions must be observed.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
unauthorised modifications of the LIPCO Sowing Machine SMD.
•Using public roads and highways
Before using public roads and highways, make sure the
combination of tractor and LIPCO Sowing Machine SMD or the
combination of machines complies with the regulations of the
Road Traffic Act (allowed total weight, allowed axle loads, lighting,
warning signs, etc.). It may be necessary to transport the LIPCO
Sowing Machine SMD on a platform wagon.

6. Accident prevention
Most accidents that occur during work, maintenance or transport of a
machine are due to non-observance of the most elementary rules of
accident prevention.
It is, therefore, necessary that all licensed users (relatives, employees,
colleagues) read and observe the rules given below and written on the
adhesive labels of the machine itself:
•Before starting the machine and the tractor, check road and
operating safety!
•Before starting any work on the machine, it should be placed on
level ground! When working with the unit lifted, always ensure
mechanical protection by means of adequate supporting
elements! Turn off the engine and pull the ignition key.
•In order to achieve the highest possible performance of the LIPCO
Sowing Machine SMD, it must always be in perfect condition.
Maintenance or repairs must be carried out by trained persons
only. Spare parts must at least comply with the technical
requirements specified by the manufacturer! This is only
guaranteed for LIPCO original spare parts!
•Switch off the tractor and pull the ignition key before making any
adjustments, carrying out maintenance or cleaning!
•Before each use, fixtures, nuts and screws must be checked to
ensure they are firmly tightened!
•Before attaching the unit to and removing it from the three-point
suspension, place the operating device of the tractor in the
position in which unintentional lifting or lowering is excluded!
•Before starting up, please make sure that no people or animals
are in the vicinity!
•Do not leave the machine running without supervision!
•During service or repair work, make sure that no one can start up
the machine accidentally!

•Do not wear wide or loose clothes (e.g. scarves)!
•Do not, for any reason, climb onto the machine during operation!
•In the transport position of the unit, sufficient lateral arresting of
the tractor three-point suspension has to be ensured!
•Do not transport any persons or objects on the attachment unit
during work or transport on the road!
•Do not act with any objects on the machine during operation!
•Never use the machine without the chain protection roller and the
seeding box lid, since these parts provides protection against
rotating machine components!
•When adjusting the Sowing Machine, always turn off the engine-
driven machine observing all safety measures!

7. Preparation
•Make sure that all safety devices are in place and the unit is in
perfect working order!
•Check all screws for tight seat and opening slide for smooth
running!
•Caution! When fastening the Bowden cable, make sure no
squeezing is produced! (Danger of kinking)

The dimensions only apply to the sowing machine SMD … MA,
without UFD!
Attention:
As for the trailer loads and semi-trailer loads, the regulations and
instructions by the traction vehicle manufacturer must be adhered to.
Remarks about noise and vibration:
It is not expected, that the values for noise and vibration of these
attachment unit will exceed the values of the engine-driven machine.

9. Mounting the Sowing Machine on the Reversing Harrow UFD
The Sowing Machine is mounted on the LIPCO Reversing Harrow
UFD, i.e. it can be mounted or dismounted easily. The feed brush is
chain-driven.
First, the mounting attachment and the protection funnel for the
Sowing Machine must be fixed on the carrier machine. Then place the
sowing machine on the harrow and fasten it with cotter pins.
The sheet metal funnel is mounted to the roller holder by means of the
clamping device. During mounting, make sure the distance between
the roller deflector sheet and the sheet metal funnel for the outlet is
about 5 mm to 10 mm.
Distance 5-10 mm

12. Determining the seed quantity
•When working on the lifted unit, always ensure mechanical
protection by means of adequate supporting elements!
Switch off the engine and pull the ignition key.
•Before starting the adjustment, the roller should be turned 1-
2 with closed slide, so that the seeds are distributed evenly
on the inner side of the slide.
•Put a suitable container or a film under the unit.
•Open the slide.
•Rotate the roller by 1 turn.
•Weigh the seed and determine the seed quantity using the
conversion factor.
•Adjust the dosage using the dosage disc.
•If necessary, repeat the process and change the slide
position.
13. Calculation of the seeding quantity for 1 m²:
(* The conversion factor
results from the relation
between roller circumference
and hopper width)
Example:
Weighed amount of seed with one turn of the roller of the attachment
unit x conversion factor from the table = actual amount applied per
m².

14. Maintenance
Steps to be carried out in order to maintain the machine in good
working condition:
•Grease the roller bearings! (Fig. 6)
•The drive chain of the Sowing Machine has to be oiled 2-3 times
a year! (Fig. 7)
•Lubricate the dosage slide after every use!
•Check chain tension! To do so, dismount the chain case (Fig. 7).
•Check smooth running of the Bowden cable! The Bowden cable
has to be cleaned and oiled at least once a year!
