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.

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/their 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.

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 or in the seed drill.
