Care and maintenance
Please read all safety instructions contained in this operating manual with the utmost care and also
observe all warning signs attached to the seed drill. These warning signs must be kept in a legible
condition and must be replaced if missing or damaged. This is especially the case when whole
sections are replaced when making repairs. Warning signs are available from your dealer or
importer.
Follow these instructions to prevent accidents. These instructions must also be made available to
all other users. You are advised to refrain from any working methods which may be hazardous.

MOORE UNIDRILL 300G August 2016 S/N 8314-
Proper use
MOORE seed drills are based on state-of-the-art technology and are manufactured in accordance
with recognized safety requirements. Nevertheless, the use of these seed drills does not preclude
the risk of injury to the user or third parties and/or the risk of damage to the seed drill itself or to
other materials or items of equipment.
Always make sure that the seed drill is in a technically perfect condition and that it is used properly
and for its intended purpose and entirely in accordance with the instructions given in this manual!
Any malfunctions or defects which might affect the safe operation of the seed drill must be
immediately eliminated.
The seed drill may be used, maintained and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its
working and have been made fully conversant with the risks involved.
OEM replacement parts and accessories from Moore Unidrill have been specially designed for use
with Moore Unidrill drills. Any replacement parts and accessories not supplied by Moore Unidrill
have not been tested or approved by us. The installation and/or the use of non-Moore products
may under certain circumstances have a negative influence on the given design features of your
seed drill and may therefore adversely affect its safe and reliable operation and your safety.
Moore Unidrill cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by the use of non-OEM
replacement parts or accessories.
Moore Unidrill seed drills are intended for seeding (sowing). Any uses other than those for which
the seed drills are intended, such as transportation, will automatically exempt or the supplier from
its/his Moore Unidrill liability in respect of ensuing damage. Such cases of improper use will
therefore be entirely at the user's own risk.
All relevant accident prevention regulations, as well as other generally acknowledged safety and
health regulations and road traffic regulations,must be strictly observed.
Improper use also comprises failure to observe the instructions given in this operating manual and
the manufacturer's maintenance and servicing requirements.
Operational safety
The seed drill must not be put into operation until the user has been given proper initial instruction
either by the dealer or by one of Moore Unidrill Ltd representatives or employees. Completed
registration cards are to be sent to Moore Unidrill Ltd
The seed drill may be used only if all safety devices, e.g. detachable guards, are fitted and in
proper working order.
Nuts and bolts should be checked at regular intervals and tightened if
necessary.
Tyre pressures must also be checked regularly.
In the event of a malfunction, immediately cease operation and secure the seed drill in its
stationary position. Malfunctions must be eliminated immediately.

MOORE UNIDRILL 300G August 2016 S/N 8314-
No liability for consequential damage
Even though your Moore Unidrill seed drill has been manufactured with the utmost care and you
are using it properly, fluctuations and interruptions in seed delivery may still occur, the possible
causes being:
•differences in composition of the seed or fertilizer (grain size, density, shape, dressing,
treatment)
•clogging or bridging (e.g. through foreign bodies, glumaceous seed, sticky dressing agents,
moist fertilizers)
•worn parts (e.g. metering device, V-belt)
•damage through external influences
•incorrect drive speeds and forward speeds
•incorrect setting of seed drill (wrongly mounted, failure to observe calibration charts)
•incorrect connection or operation of the electronic seed drill drive or an error in the tractor's
electric installation.
It is therefore advisable, both before and during use, to check that the seed drill is functioning
properly and delivering the seed with the required accuracy. Such deviations in the delivery
rate are only partially detectable by the electronic seed drill control and the monitor of the
electronic seed drill drive!
Any claims for damages not directly incurred by the seed drill cannot be accepted. By the
same token, Moore Unidrill cannot be held liable for any consequential damage resulting from
incorrect metering or distribution.
Road safety
Road traffic regulations must be observed when towing the seed drill on roads, paths and other
public places. The seed drill must be in a roadworthy condition!
Observe the maximum permissible width for road transport and fit all necessary rear lights,
warning signs and guards. Disconnect the electrical supply when fitting.
Fold up the side sections, track markers, etc. and secure them in the transport position. When
transporting the seed drill on the road, lock the control valve in the tractor cabin in order to prevent
the coulter bar from being opened out accidentally. In addition close the ball valve in the hydraulic
hose.
Trip ropes for quick-release couplings must hang loose and must not, when in their lowered
position, release the couplings of their own accord.
Observe maximum permissible axle loads, the load-bearing capacity of the tyres and the maximum
total weights in order to ensure adequate steering and braking. The behaviour of the tractor is also
influenced by attached implements. Take the width and balancing weight of the seed drill into
consideration, especially on sharp bends.
No persons may be allowed to ride on the seed drill.

MOORE UNIDRILL 300G August 2016 S/N 8314-
Accident prevention
Careful heed must be paid not only to the safety instructions contained in this operating manual but
also to 'the accident prevention regulations governing the operation of agricultural machinery.
You could injure yourself on those edges of the seed drill which need to be sharp.
When coupling seed drill to tractor
The work of coupling and uncoupling the seed drill (using the three point linkage) involves a high
risk of injury. The following instructions must therefore be carefully observed:
•Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or backwards.
•Slowly and carefully actuate the three-point power lift system.
•Be extremely careful when working with a three-point linkage. Always be aware of the shearing
hazard between the tractor and the seed drill.
•Position the seed drill with its support legs on firm, level ground.
The tractor and the seed drill must be equipped with the same category of three-point linkage.
When using P.T.O. shaft
See operating instructions for universal joint shaft!
Use only the universal joint shaft which is intended for use with your seed drill and make sure that
it is fitted with the prescribed protective equipment (protective tube and funnel-shaped P.T.O. shaft
guard must be fitted). Make sure that the tractor engine and the P.T.O. shaft are switched off before
proceeding to fit the universal joint shaft.
Make sure that the tubes overlap by the prescribed distance in both transport and operating
position and are secured in such a way that they cannot rotate with the shaft.
Be absolutely sure that there is nobody standing in dangerous proximity to the seed drill when you
switch on the P.T.O. shaft.
The P.T.O. shaft speed of the tractor must correspond with the maximum permissible rotational
speed of the seed drill. The angle of attachment will depend on the type of P.T.O. shaft (see
operating instructions for P.T.O. shaft).
Always switch off the P.T.O. shaft if the angle of divergence is excessive or whenever the P.T.O.
shaft is not required.
When using the hydraulic system
Do not connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulic system until you have made sure that
the system is at zero pressure on both the tractor and the equipment side.
The hydraulic system generates extremely high pressures. All piping, hoses and connections must
therefore be checked regularly for leakage and visible external damage! Use a proper and
thorough means of searching for leakage and repair all damage immediately! Spurting hydraulic oil
can cause injuries and fires. Call a doctor immediately in the event of injury!

MOORE UNIDRILL 300G August 2016 S/N 8314-
In order to exclude the possibility of incorrect connection, all mating plugs and sockets belonging to
the hydraulic connections between the tractor and the seed drill should be marked with matching
colours.
When operating the seed drill
Prior to start-up and operation, make sure that nobody is standing in dangerous proximity to the
seed drill (especially children).
No persons may ride on the seed drill during operation.
None of the prescribed guards supplied with the seed drill may be removed during operation.
No persons may be allowed to stand within the working area of the pre-emergence markers or the
(hydraulically) folding track markers.
Care and maintenance
Observe all generally or specifically prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspections
which have to be carried out regularly.
Before carrying out any care or maintenance work, always de-pressurize the hydraulic system and
switch off the P.T.O shaft and the tractor engine. Uncouple the seed drill from the tractor.
Make sure, prior to carrying out any care or maintenance work, that the seed drill is standing on
firm, level ground and cannot roll away or tip over (support legs). Do not make use of any parts of
the seed drill as steps or footholds. Use a proper and safe means of gaining access to the parts of
the seed drill which require care or maintenance.
Prior to washing the seed drill with water or a steam jet (high-pressure cleaner) or with any other
suitable cleansing agents, use protective coverings to seal off all openings which, for safety or
functional reasons, must be protected against ingress of water, steam or cleansing agent. These
are, for example, the bearings, the fan, the signal distributor and the electric plug type
connectors. These protective coverings must be completely removed after the washing operation.
All hydraulic lines must now be checked for leakage, looseness, abrasion and damage. All defects
and damage must be immediately rectified!
Prior to carrying out maintenance and repair work on the electrical system, disconnect it from the
power supply.
When carrying out electric welding on the tractor-mounted seed drill, disconnect the cables from
the tractor's generator and battery.
All screw connections which had been slackened or unscrewed for maintenance and repair
purposes must now be refitted and properly tightened All screw connections which had been
slackened or unscrewed for maintenance and repair purposes must now be refitted and properly
tightened.

Setting and using the seed drill
Road transport
Fit warning signs and the necessary lighting and guards for road transport.
Make sure the seed hopper is empty before you proceed to transport your seed drill along the
road.
The maximum speed at which the seed drill may be transported n the road is 25km/h
Retract the Seeding drive wheel and lock it in position.
Fold up the hopper access steps.
An adequate front tractor ballast should be used, to ensure safe transportation at all times.
Prior to sowing
Coupling the drill to tractor
When coupling the seed drill to tractor, make sure there are no persons standing between the
tractor and the seed drill.
Set the tractors draft links in such a way that the seed
drill can swing sideways only very slightly, and so that
each arm can float independently, and allow the rear
packer to control the seeding depth independently of
the tractor. After hitching on to the lower links, raise the
drill and fold up the parking stands, slide them inside
the chassis and secure with the linch pins provided.
Lower the lower link arms and then attach the top link.
The top link should be positioned as high as possible
on the tractor and as low as possible on the headstock
so that the seed drill is as parallel as possible with the
ground when raised.
On level ground, Set the top link length so that the swingometer on the side of the drill points to
the middle position, to indicate that the chassis is level , so that both front and rear discs will
operate at the same depth.
Make sure the tractor engine and PTO are switched off before you proceed to fit the universal joint
shaft.
Observe the special operating instructions for the universal joint shaft.
In the case of some tractor models, the universal joint shaft must be cut to the correct length. This
must be done in such a way that the power transmission is not adversely affected. After shortening

the shaft, cut the PTO drive shaft guard to size at both ends and then de-burr, clean and grease
the protective tubes and the special section tubes.
After it has been adapted fit the universal joint shaft.
The PTO shaft speed of the tractor must correspond with the maximum permissible rotational
speed of the seed drill.
In the field pull out the seed drive wheel and secure with pins provided in working position. An
adjustable stop can be used to set the downward limit of the drive wheel
When unhitching the drill, put the depth control pins on the packer roller into their lowest position,
or shallowest working position so that the packer is carrying the weight of the drill. Set the drill
down, and uncouple the top link first, then raise the drill, with the full weight on the rear packer,
and at this point, and at this point only, pull out the parking stands, so that the hinge is just proud
of the chassis, unfold them, and gently lower the drill onto the stands, making sure the hinge
mechanism has engaged properly on both sides, and until they have taken the remaining weight,
at which point, uncouple the lower links. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HINGE MECHANISM ON THE PARKING STANDS.
Setting the sowing depth
The sowing depth can be adapted to the soil conditions by adjusting the coulter pressure.
