WHEN MANTAINING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OF THE FRONT HOPPER, MAKE SURE
THAT IT IS DEPRESSURISED AND THE TRACTOR’S ENGINE IS OFF.
PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE TUBES AND HOSEPIPES IN THE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. THESE PARTS AGE NATURALLY AND THEIR LIFE SHOULD NOT
SURPASS 6 YEARS. PLEASE REPLACE WHEN NECESSARY.
DURING TRANSIT WITH THE RAISED FRONT HOPPER, BLOCK THE LOWERING SWITCH.
BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR, LOWER THE FRONT HOPPER ONTO THE GROUND
AND REMOVE THE TRACTOR’S STARTING KEY.

11
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE CHECK THAT THE PTO SHAFT IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL PROTEC
TED. PREVENT THE PROTECTIVE TUBE FROM TURNING BY HOLDING BOTH THE TUBE
AND CHAIN PROVIDED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
ALWAYS USE ENOUGH SUPPORTING ELEMENTS WHEN MAINTAINING THE MACHINE
IN A RAISED POSITION TO PREVENT THE MACHINE FROM LOWERING OR FALLING.
MOUNT THE PTO SHAFT ONLY WHEN THE TRACTOR’S ENGINE IS OFF.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PTO SHAFT, BE SURE THAT THE DANGER ZONE SURROUN
DING THE MACHINE IS CLEAR.
3.4 LOADING AND UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Loading and unloading the machine must be performed, if possible, using a bridge
crane.
The following pictures show the position of the tow ropes to perform this operation,
going around (surrounding?) the hopper through the inside part of the frame. A di-
erent way of doing it is by using the three-point linkage (in this case, see chapter 6.1
COUPLING THE FRONT HOPPER TO THE TRACTOR).
To know the total weight that the bridge crane will need to bear, see section 2.2 TECH-
NICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
THESE OPERATIONS SHOULD BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PER-
SONNEL.

ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS
4. ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS
WHEN STARTING THE MACHINE, FURROWS WILL NOT CONTAIN ANY SEEDS FOR A METRE.
WHEN STOPPING THE MACHINE, SEEDS WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY INSIDE THE SEED HO-
SES, SLIDE FROM THE MACHINE AND END UP PILED ON THE GROUND. TAKE THIS INTO
ACCOUNT WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING THE MACHINE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MORE
ACCURACY.
ALWAYS WORK AT A UNIFORM SPEED AS SUDDEN ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN
WILL CAUSE AN IRREGULAR SEED DISTRIBUTION.
4.1 TERRAIN
The better the soil condition, the better the sowing quality. Work is more dicult on big
clods or uneven furrows. Although SOLÀ machines resist harsh conditions, if the seedbed
does not satisfy appropriate conditions then the sowing quality will suer.
4.2 THE SEED
It is essential that seeds are well maintained and clean. Barley seeds should be trim-
med.
4.3 SEED PLANTING DEPTH
THE RECOMMENDED SEED PLANTING DEPTHS ARE FROM 3 TO 5 CENTIMETRES. PLAN-
TING TOO DEEP CAUSES PROBLEMS AS RHIZOME CANNOT REACH THE SURFACE AND THE
PLANT WILL DIE. IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT SOME GRAINS ARE VISIBLE BECAUSE THE
HARROW’S TINES WILL COVER THEM EVENTUALLY.
The seed planting depth has consequences for tillering, as well as for the plant’s strength
and its ability to resist frostbite or drought. The parent shoot grows from 1 to 2 cm under
the ground, whatever the depth of the seed.
Planting deeper does not necessarily mean getting deeper roots. Only a few roots grow
from the lower part of the seed. Most of them grow from a parent shoot close to ground
level.

13
ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS
NORMAL PLANTING DEPTH: FROM 2 TO 4 CM
- Thick stem, short rhizome, resistant to frostbite
- Multiple tillering providing from 3 to 6 shoots and a lot of blades, from 6 to 10.
- Deep and thick roots, approximately 5 cm in width and 10-12 cm in depth.
- With less grains per sowing square metre, more ears are obtained.
DEEPER PLANTING: FROM 5 TO 6 CM
- Fine stem, rhizome exposed to frostbite.
- Late and weak tillering, 1 or zero shoots and only a few blades, 3-4 aprox.
- Medium quality roots of approximately 3 cm in width and 5 cm in depth
- More grains per sowing square metre are required to obtain the same number of ears as
in the previous case.
VERY DEEP PLANTING: FROM 8 TO 10 CM
- Very ne stem. No tillering and only one blade.
- Seed runs out of supplies by growing a long rhizome which frostbite can easily cut.
- The plant takes weak roots, approximately 1 cm in width and 3 cm in depth.
- Twice the number of grains per sowing metre are required to obtain the same number
of ears as in the rst case.
IN VERY COLD PLACES, REPEATED FROSTBITE CAN HAVE A HONEYCOMB EFFECT ON THE
GROUND’S MOST SUPERFICIAL LAYER. IN THIS CASE THE PLANT’S VERY FIRST ROOTS CAN
LOOSEN AND THE PLANT WILL DIE. SLIGHTLY DEEPER PLANTING IS RECOMMENDED AND
IF POSSIBLE, THE USE OF ROLLERS TO COMPACT THE EARTH TO BETTER PROTECT THE
SEEDS.

ESSENTIAL FERTILISING CONCEPTS
THE FRONT HOPPER SHOULD BE WELL WASHED AFTER THE WORK (SEE SECTION 10.4
FRONT HOPPER CLEANING). OTHERWISE THE FERTILISER REMAINING IN THE MACHINE
COULD CORRODE AND DAMAGE IT
5.1 FACTORS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR A GOOD FERTILISATION
1- Forward speed:
To obtain a uniform fertilisation, keep the forward speed without sudden stops, since
variations in forward speed modify the amount of fertiliser applied on the ground.
When starting and stopping, take into account the way in which the air circuit works. This
circuit carries the fertiliser from the metering box to the metering units or to the coulters,
and works as follows:
- When STARTING, the circuit is empty and the machine will not fertilise until it has
run some metres.
- When STOPPING, the circuit is FULL of fertiliser. It is recommended to cut the fer-
tilisation by raising the machine or by lifting the transmission starwheel a couple
metres before stopping.
2- Check fertiliser’s ow:
Perform a previous calibration test in the warehouse in order to know exactly the amount
of fertiliser going to be spread. Dosage is going to be very dierent when using dierent
kinds of fertiliser, as it depends on factors such as density, moisture content, etc..
3- Distance between tramlines:
Keeping the distance between tramlines is essential to get optimal fertilisation.

STARTING
6.1 COUPLING THE FRONT HOPPER TO THE TRACTOR
The front hopper KIBLI is equipped with a three-point linkage of cathegory 3.
To couple the hopper to the tractor, follow these steps:
1- Fix the three-point linkage to the tractor using 3 bolts (1).
2- Loosen the screw (2) in order to free the hopper’s safety lock (3).
3- Introduce the three-point linkage to the front hopper.
4- Make sure the trigger of the three-point linkage (4) has been correctly inserted.
5- Adjust the safety lock (3) using the screw (2).
To remove the three-point linkage from the hopper:
1- Uncouple the three-point linkage from the tractor by unscrewing the 3 bolts (1).
2- Loosen the screw (2) in order to free the hopper’s safety lock (3).
3- Raise the hopper slightly (it must be in contact with the ground) and pull the lever
(5) in order to free the three-point linkage from the hopper. Make sure that the
trigger (4) is not locked.

ESSENTIAL FERTILISING CONCEPTS
TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION, THE FRONT HOPPER’S WHEELS MUST BE BRAKED
WHILE PERFORMING THE COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE
THERE IS NO PERSON OR OBJECT BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND THE FRONT HOPPER.
6.2 CONNECTIONS
Connect the ELECTRIC plug for the machine’s FRONT LIGHTS.
The front hopper is equipped with the following HYDRAULIC connections:
To raise and lower the transmission starwheel:
- a single-acting connection.
If the machine is equipped with HYDRAULIC FAN:
- one single-acting connection and a free return line.
If the machine is equipped with a COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE MECHANICAL FAN:
- a double-acting connection.
If the machine model is equipped with a MECHANICAL FAN, the PTO shaft should be
adapted:
1- Dismount the PTO shaft and insert one end into the tractor’s universal
joint shaft and the other end into the front hopper. Look for the minimal
movement length “L” by raising and lowering the hydraulic lift.
2- Cut the spare plastic and metal into parts of the same length and re-
mount the PTO shaft.
3- Operate the hydraulic lift and check that the PTO shaft’s movement is
correct.
4- Fix the PTO-shaft to the tractor using the securing chain.

ESSENTIAL FERTILISING CONCEPTS
WHEN OPERATING THE PTO SHAFT CHECK THAT THE ENGINE IS OFF. ALWAYS WORK WITH
THE PTO SHAFT PROTECTED AND IN GOOD CONDITION. PREVENT THE PTO SHAFT’S TUBE
FROM TURNING BY SECURING IT WITH THE CHAIN PROVIDED.
WHEN LOWERING THE FRONT HOPPER TO THE GROUND, UNPLUG THE TRACTOR’S UNI-
VERSAL JOINT SHAFT SO THAT THE PTO SHAFT DOES NOT HAVE AN EXCESSIVE INCLINA-
TION (MAX. 35º).
WHEN HOLDING THE TRACTOR UNIVERSAL JOINT SHAFT’S CLUTCH IN, PERFORM IT GENT-
LY. STARTING SUDDENLY COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
6.3 LOADING THE HOPPER MANUALLY
For access to the hopper, follow these steps:
1- Pull the safety trigger (1) to free the hopper’s platform. Next,
pull the platform untill it is horizontal. To fold it, pull the safety
trigger (1) and pull the platform upwards until it is locked with
the trigger.
2- Pull to remove the elastic strap (2) that secures the hopper’s fol-
ding cover.
3- At the sides of the hopper, there are handles. Use them to push
forward and fold the cover over

18
ESSENTIAL FERTILISING CONCEPTS
4- Fill the machine with seeds or fertiliser without removing the
sieves. Gaining access to the hopper to ll it manually is an easy
operation. However, in order to ll the hopper in a quick and
safe way, it is recommended to use a BIG BAG along with an
approved small crane.
5- After lling the hopper, fold the cover back, place the elastic
straps (2) and use the trigger to secure the platform (1).
6.4 SUPPORTING LEGS
The front hopper KIBLI is equipped with 4 supporting legs. This legs are wheels to load
and unload the machine, so that transporting the machine becomes easier.
TWO OF THESE WHEELS HAVE A FOOT BRAKE TO BE USED WHEN STORING THE MACHINE
OR WHEN TRANSPORTING IT ON A TRAILER.

DOSAGE
To gain access to the dosing system, the platform has to be unfolded (see point 1 from
seccion 6.3 LOADING THE HOPPER MANUALLY).
There are two ways of dosing:
for regular seeds
for ne seeds with minimum ow rate
WHILE THE MACHINE IS WORKING, THE HANDLE OF THE VENTURI INJECTOR SLUICE
MUST BE ALWAYS IN POSITION “OK”. IT MUST BE IN POSITION “NO” ONLY FOR THE
CALIBRATION TEST.

7.1 SEED / FERTILISER GRAIN OF REGULAR SIZE (POSITION N)
Proceed as follows to adjust the dosing for SEEDS or FERTILI-
SER or REGULAR size:
1- Pull and turn the spindle (4) to adjust the graduated scale
(to adjust the dose see section 11 – DOSAGE TABLES).
2- Place the pinions in position N (in red).
3- Place the clip pin of the air outlet to fan at position N.
7.2 SEED / FERTILISER OF SMALL SIZE (POSITION F)
IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE PIN’S POSITION (3),
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SPINDLE (4) OF THE
METERING BOX CAN TURN FREELY AND THE HO-
PPER IS EMPTY.
Proceed as follows to adjust the dosing for SEEDS or FERTILI-
SER or SMALL size:
1- Turn the spindle (4) until it reaches position 0 on the gra-
duated scale (1).
2- Remove the clip pin (3) and place it in position MICRO (F).
3- Turn the spindle (4) to adjust the graduated scale be-
tween 0 and 30 (to adjust the dose, see section 11- DO-
SAGE TABLES) .
4- Place the pinions in position N (in red).
5- Congure the ELECTRONICAL CONTROLLER (see section
9. ELECTRONICAL CONTROLLER, working in micro mode).
THE AIM OF MICRODOSING IS TO BETTER DISTRIBUTE FINE SEEDS, OR REGULAR SEEDS IN SMALL NUMBERS.
CHECK THE CLEANING BRUSH IS IN GOOD CONDITION BEFORE STARTING WORK.
WHEN MICRODOSING FINE SEEDS, DO NOT EXCEED NUMBER 30 ON THE GRADUATED
SCALE (2) (SEE SECTION 11. DOSAGE TABLES).
