Tatu Marchesan SDA CP User manual

1
The No-Till Seed Drill, SDA CP model, is designed to the seeding over stubble
mulch, minimum or conventional tillage for Soybean, Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rice on
flood-irrigated or dryland and other small grains. As advantages, it stands out due
to high strength, accuracy on seed and fertilizer distribution, higher free articulation
of the drive wheels, besides optional for different applications.
The seeds are metered by helical fluted feed cup with simultaneous delivery
adjustment. The rates are reached by the scales displayed on the hoppers. In this
system, the seeds are gently placed to the soil in a continuous line pattern.
The fertilizer is metered by endless augers (coil springs), guaranteeing an
individual and accurate distribution in all the row units.
The setting of the different rates of fertilizer and seed population are easily
reached by the Fast Change Sprocket system - TRA.
In order to face higher usability, this model can be optionally supplied with:
- Box of small seeds for pastures;
- USG - Unit of Large Seeds for Corn, Soybean, Bean, Sorghum, Cotton, etc.,
using perforated horizontal plates;
- Wheels for Longitudinal Transport.
- Hydraulic row markers.
This manual contains the necessary information for the best seeder performance.
The Operator must read, with plenty attention, the whole manual before putting the
seeder in operation and be aware of the safety's recommendations.
To obtain any information, or in the eventuality of technical problems, consult
the Dealer, as well as Marchesan's customer service, that will guarantee the Seeder
full operation.

Operation Safety
- ONLY WITH A COMPLETE CO-OPERATION OF IMPLEMENT OPERATOR THE
ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED.
- THIS SYMBOL IS A WARNING DEVICE WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT IN PLACE,
CLEAN AND VISIBLE, WHEN TRANSPORTING THE IMPLEMENT DURING THE
DAY OR NIGHT. USE ACCESSORY LIGHTS AND OTHER DEVICES IN ORDER
TO GIVE ADEQUATE WARNING TO OPERATORS OF OTHER VEHICLES .
The SDA CP Seeder is easy to operate,
therefore some basic and indispensable
cares are required on its handling.
Have always on mind that safety
requires constant attention, observation
and prudence during the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of the
machine.
Dear User !
Respect the Ecology.
Do not throw the trash away.
This gesture of goodwill helps to
protect our Environment.
Do not spill combustible oil, battery and
filter residues in the soil. The trash in
contact with the soil reach the sub layer
which directly damage to the
Environment. Look for information to
delivery these contaminated elements to
whom knows to recycle or re-use them.
Be careful with the environment
Read and
understand the
informations
before realize
adjustments and
maintenance.
Raising or lowering
the seeder do not
allow any person
come closer to it,
especially in the row
markers action
area.
When working near
the PTO or driving
mechanisms have
a special care.
Never come closer
to rotating parts.

Be careful when
moving around
steep graders to
avoid overturn.
Be careful with use
of fertilizer or
chemicals.
These products in
contact with skin
could cause
personal injury to
the body.
Keep the
entrances and
places acessible
to working, clean
and free of the oil

prevent
accidents.
Never allow riders
on the tractor or
implement unless
an additional seat
is available.
Use extreme
caution when
circulating with the
implement under
electrical power
lines, any contact
could result in
severe shock, injury
or death.
In order to protect
yourself always
wear adequate
clothes and shoes
during the
operations.
Always use the
cylinder transport
locks when
transporting the
implements.
Never attempt to
change the
adjustments, clean
or lubricate the
implement when in
movement.
Never use your
hands to check for
hydraulic leaks.
Escaping hydraulic
oil under pressure
can have sufficient
force to penetrate
the skin causing
personal injury.
Never transport
the implement on
rough roads during
the night. When
operating avoid to
make sharp turns
that may cause tire

- During the operation or transport do not allow riders on the tractor or
implement.
- Never allow children playing near the place that you are operating in, as
well as when transporting or stored.
- Learn about the area before starting the operation. Delimit the dangerous
places or the obstacles.
- Use the most appropriate speed according to the land conditions or roads
to travel.
- Use personal protective equipment for your own protection.
- Wear clothes and adequate shoes. Avoid large or loosen clothes that could
twine on the movable parts.
- Never operate without the machine protection devices.
- Be careful when hitching the implement to the tractor. Hands or fingers
can be injured when caught between the hitch and tractor drawbar.
- Before starting to raise or move the seeder check for people or animals
near or under the seeder.
- Verify with attention the transport width in narrow places.
- When disconnecting the implement move it to level area, preferably a hard
surface, on the field or at the warehouse. Certify that the machine is properly
stationed.
- See the general safety instructions in the back-cover of this Manual.
When Transporting the Implement on Truck or Trailer
To transport the equipment at long distances use a truck or trailer. However,
the safety instructions should be followed carefully:
- Use adequate loading dock to load and unload the equipment. Never use
a ditch bank, this practice could result in serious personal injury.
- In the event of lifting up with hoist use the appropriate points to hold.
- Use the seeder stands to prop it correctly.
- The seeder drawbar should be rised and locked in the vertical position or it
should be moved away and tied to the cargo.
- Tie the hopper covers and other mobile parts that can come unfastened
causing accidents.
- Use chock blocks and safety chains to secure the implement to the truck or
trailer during the transport.
- After 8 to 10 km transporting, please inspect the condition of the cargo.
Repeat this procedure every 80 to 100 km. Give more attention when
transporting the implement on rough roads, steep graders and other adverse
conditions.
- Be careful with transport height, specially when passing under electrical
power lines. Any contact could result in severe shock, injury or death.
- Observe all laws and regulations as to the height limits and cargo width while
transporting the implement on truck or trailer. If necessary use banners, lights
and other devices in order to give adequate warning to the drivers of other
vehicles.

Preparing the Tractor
In order to avoid the excessive compaction of the soil in the rows that runs behind
the tractor tires, it is recommended installing wide rear tires without adding
counterweight.
Hitching to the Tractor
Attaches the drawbar to the
tractor by placing the hitch pin (A).
Lock with the cotter pin. Observe that
the tractor drawbar must remain on a
non-swinging way during operation
and transport.
Attention: AFTER HITCHING THE MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR, BEFORE ACTIVATING THE

Positioning the Row Units in the Chassis
Check whether the number of rows to be assembled in the machine is odd or
even and follow the instructions below:
Even Number of Rows:
Mark the center of the chassis and
measures half of the spacing to the right
and half to the left, fastening in these
points both first rows. From these rows you
mark the others with a spacing from each
other.
Odd Number of Rows:
Install a row unit in the center of the
chassis. From this row you mark the others
with a spacing from each other.
Note: - OBSERVE THAT THE ROWS ARE RIGHT
AND LEFT . SEE ILLUSTRATIONS AT SIDE.
- THE CENTRAL ROW ALWAYS MUST BE
LONG.
- THE SPRING HOLDER HAS THE FUNCTION
OF KEEPING UNIFORM SPACINGS OF 158
OR 175 MM BETWEEN ROWS. FOR THE
OTHER SPACINGS IT DOES NOT HAVE
ANY UTILITY.
- FOR LARGER SPACINGS JUST USE LONG
