INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
COP and COP SUPREMA planters are especially designed
to make the No-Till or Conventional planting of Corn, Soybean,
Bean, Rice, Peanut, Delinted Cotton, Sorghum, etc...
The permanent row units floating control guarantees the
accompaniment of the soil topography variations.
COP makes the precision planting with horizontal perforated
plates for several crops.
COP SUPREMA uses the vacuum seed metering, with
exclusive sealing system that assures larger useful life and a
continuous and uniform job.
The fertilizer distribution is done with auger type metering,
guaranteeing an uniform distribution in all the row units.
The calibration for different rates of fertilizer and seed is easily
obtained by the sprocket combination mechanism, without using
any tools.
The seed depth control is done through the oscillating rubber
wheels, that accompany the ground and favor the plants
emergence for equal.
This Manual contains the necessary information for the best
planter performance. The operator must read with attention the
whole manual before operating and be aware of the safety
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 planters full operation.

Raising or lowering
the planter do not
allow any person
come closer to it,
especially in the
row markers action
area.
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 ACESSORY LIGHTS AND OTHER DEVICES IN ORDER TO
GIVE ADEQUATE WARNING TO OPERATORS OF OTHER VEHICLES
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 how to recycle or re-use
them.
The COP Planters are easy to operate,
therefore some basic and indispensable
cares are required on their handling.
Have always on mind that safety
requires constant attention, observation and
prudence during the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of the machine.
When working
near the PTO or
driving mechanisms
have a special care.
Never come
closer to rotating
parts.
Read and
understand the
informations
before realize
adjustments and
maintenance.

5
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.
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.
Never attempt to
change the
adjustments, clean
or lubricate the
implement when in
movement.
Keep the
entrances and
places acessible
to working, clean
and free of the oil
and grease to
prevent
accidents.
Never transport
the implement on
rough roads during
the night. when
operating avoid to
make sharp turns
that may cause tire
to make contact
with implement
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.

- During the operation or transport do not allow riders on the tractor or
implement. Serious personal injuries could result from falling in the path of
the machine while in operation or transport.
- Never allow children playing near the place that you are operating in.
- 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 individual equipments 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 planter check for people or animals
near or under the planter.
- 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 planter stands to prop it correctly.
- The planter 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.
- Underpin the planter wheels appropriately.
- 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 other to give adequate warning to the drivers of other
vehicles.

- The tractor drawbar must be allways
fixed in the center position.
- Clean and connect the hose
couplers to the tractor hydraulic system.
Leveling the Planter
Through the stabilizer, make the planter leveling after coupling to the tractor.
To facilitate the stabilizer handling it is enough to work the hydraulic cylinder,
alleviating the planter drawbar on the tractor drawbar.

Spacing Between Rows
COP models are delivered with minimum row spacing according to the
requested number of rows, with flexibility for other row spacings; that is to say, for
plantation of crops that need a larger distance between the rows.
Positioning the Row Units in the Chassis
Even number of rows:
Mark The center of the chassis. From this mark you have to measure half spacing
to the right and half to the left, installing in these points the first two rows. From these
rows you mark the others with a spacing to each side.
Odd number of rows:
Install one row unit in the center of the chassis. From this row you mark the others,
with a spacing to each side.
