The manufacturer is not responsible for the selection of an incorrect quantity of seeds, plant
protecting agents or fertiliser or incorrect seeding depth. The operator must constantly make
sure that the desired seeding depth is maintained. In the case of lack of information and
experience, please consult an expert for advice. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
failures in seeding. The operator must monitor the consumption of seeds and fertiliser in every
conjunction to make sure that sowing quantities remain appropriate in all seeding coulters.

3. Safety instructions
3.1. Residual risks
Read this operating and maintenance manual thoroughly before operating
the machine and follow the instructions given. 
Crushing hazard when connecting and disconnecting the seed and
fertiliser drill. Safety distance 10 m. Be extremely careful if another person
is near the seed and fertiliser drill and tractor to assist in connecting and
disconnecting. 
Crushing hazard when lifting and lowering the coulters. When lifting and
lowering the coulters, make sure nobody is in the vicinity. Ensure that discs
are placed under the coulters for support when performing servicing. 
Crushing, cutting and impact hazard when lifting and lowering the wing
sections. The seed and fertiliser drill and its vicinity are off limits to persons
when the wing sections are lifted and lowered. When lifting and lowering
the wing sections, make sure nobody is in the vicinity. Safety distance 10
m. 
Crushing hazard when lifting and lowering the centre markers. When
lifting and lowering the markers, make sure nobody is in the vicinity. Safety
distance is 10 m when the markers are up and the machine is running. 
Crushing hazard when the seeding depth is adjusted. Before adjusting the
seeding depth or accessories, make sure that the power is switched off in
the tractor, the key is removed from the ignition and the parking brake is
engaged. 
Crushing hazard when the accessories are being adjusted. Before adjusting
the accessories, make sure that the power is switched off in the tractor, the
key is removed from the ignition and the parking brake is engaged.
Be careful not to crush or cut your hand or ngers in the feeder of the
hopper.
When the machine is in the seeding position, the radar detects if someone
is walking past the machine and the feeder starts to rotate automatically.
Ensure that the power of the controller and tractor is switched off, the key
is removed from the ignition and the parking brake is engaged when
someone is in the hopper or near the machine. 

Pressurised hydraulic hoses may release a lethal jet of liquid. High-pressure
liquid may also cause a crushing, cutting or impact hazard.
The hydraulic system must be depressurised before pressure hoses are
handled, connected or disconnected. Depressurise the hydraulic system
and disconnect the hoses before performing maintenance work.
Never touch the hydraulic cylinders, hoses and hydraulic connectors when
the cylinders are in operation. 
Falling hazard when performing work on the platform. Be careful when
performing work on the platform. 
Falling hazard. The top of the machine is strictly off-limits during transport
and operation. Staying on top of the wheels and sensors is always
prohibited.
Before moving, ensure that the wing sections have settled in the transport
position and locked in place. 
Before performing the calibration test, ensure that the tractor’s parking brake is
engaged and blowers are turned off. 
Before moving, ensure that the tractor’s hitch is properly engaged.
Operate and service the machine only on a level and solid ground. 
Depressurise the hydraulic system, disconnect the hoses and tractor's electrical
connections and let the machine cool off before servicing. 
Avoid breathing the dust released by the seed dressing agent and fertiliser when
lling the hopper. The seed dressing agent causes a serious health risk. Read the
material safety data sheet of the dressing agent and fertiliser and pay attention to
the warnings included. 
Never go under a lifted load when lling the hopper. 
Make sure that nobody is on top of the seed and fertiliser drill or inside the hopper
when lling the hopper. 

Switch off the blower before dislodging a blockage from the pipe. 
Wear hearing protection in the vicinity of the machine when the blowers are on. 
Wear protective goggles when dislodging a blockage from the pipe. 
Wear protective gloves when handling oil or grease and when connecting and
disconnecting hydraulic components. Avoid skin contact with oil and grease to
prevent skin irritation and injury.
3.2. Symbols used in the operating manual
DANGER warns of a dangerous situation which may lead to death or serious
physical injury. 
NOTE  warns of a dangerous situation which may lead to damage to the
equipment. 
ADVICE contains useful tips, advice and information in the instructions e.g. on
tightening torques, adjusting values, liquid quantities and special tools. 
DANGER
When connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses and electric wires, ensure that the
tractor is turned off and the key is removed from the ignition. 
DANGER
Never adjust or clean a moving seed and fertiliser drill.
DANGER
Never stay on top of the seed and fertiliser drill or within its operating area during
operation. Safety distance 10 m.
Operation and maintenance manual
FX6000 2.00

DANGER
Follow the safety distance when the seed and fertiliser drill is immobile and the
hydraulics are used.  When the seed and fertiliser drill is attached to the tractor, the
vicinity of the seed and fertiliser drill and, in particular, the area under the raised side
sections are off limits. 
DANGER
Inspect the condition of the seed and fertiliser drill at least visually before moving or
operating it. Items to be inspected include tyre pressure, machine cleanliness and the
tightness of the bolts of the towing device. 
DANGER
Before seeding, make sure that the machine is in working order. Make sure that the
hoses are intact and have no leaks. Make sure that the coulters and mechanics are
intact. Specically ensure that all the pins are in place. 
DANGER
When transporting the seed and fertiliser drill on public roads, exercise caution and
observe all road traffic regulations, as well as specic regulations concerning slow-
moving vehicles. 
DANGER
Before moving the tractor, check that the slow-vehicle triangle is visible and tractor
lights are lit and visible. Keep the triangle and lights clean, because they have a
considerable impact on the vehicle's traffic safety. 
DANGER
The transport height of the seed and fertiliser drill should be less than 4 m. 
DANGER
The maximum allowed transportation speed of the seed and fertiliser drill is 40  km/h. 
DANGER
Before starting the sowing, ensure that both side sections are completely lowered so
that the cylinder is fully extended. 
DANGER
When performing servicing and maintenance work, ensure that the side sections are
fully lowered. 
DANGER
When replacing hydraulic system components and conductors, only use spare parts
with sufficient pressure resistance.
DANGER
Never use oil or lubrication grease to clean skin. These substances may contain small
metal particles, which cause irritation of the skin or cuts. Follow the handling
instructions and safety regulations of the lubricant manufacturers. Synthetic oils are
often corrosive and cause strong irritation of the skin. Contact a doctor, if oil or grease
causes injuries. 
DANGER
Never spray water directly on electric equipment. 

CAUTION
Use original spare parts of the machine whenever servicing and repairing the seed and
fertiliser drill. Using generic parts invalidates the warranty. 
CAUTION
Collect oil waste and dispose of it appropriately in accordance with national
regulations.
CAUTION
If oil is spilled on the ground, absorb it with absorption material, such as turf, to prevent
the oil spill from spreading. Handle the absorption material in accordance with
regulations. 
CAUTION
Clean the machine whenever you change fertiliser or seed types. 
CAUTION
If the machine will be unused overnight or over a long rain season, empty its fertiliser
hopper in advance and clean the roller grooves of the feeder by adjusting feed quantity
from one extreme position to the other. Otherwise, the fertiliser may dissolve and clog
the feeders. 
CAUTION
Before using a detergent, make sure it is appropriate for washing a seed and fertiliser
drill. Follow the safety and operating instructions of the detergent manufacturer.
