First steps:
Please check:
1. Has the seeder been damaged during transport?
2. Is everything delivered according to the delivery note?
3. Before starting read this instruction carefully and be sure you understand it.
3. Do the start up, control and service as written in the instruction.
4. Rotating parts must be screwed tight.
5. Mount the seeder as written in the instruction and safety rules.
6. Test the seeder before starting.
7. After about all 40 operation hours or before every season check all rotating parts.
8. Take care on this symbol “!”. Everywhere you see it, pay attention to your safety.
9. On the seeder are the basic safety rules written. These stickers always have to be replaced. You can
find all safety rules in the instruction.
! The relevant accident prevention rules and the other general accepted safety, employment medical
and road traffic rules have to be obeyed.
Generally safety rules:
! Before start up read the instruction carefully!
! Take care to the safety and mounting hints from the implement and tractor you use!
! Keep enough safety distance during operation! The rotating parts are powerful and can catch fingers or
clothes! Especially take care during adjustment and calibration of the seeder!
! Before turning on the seeder, be sure that no person, animal or parts, which can be damaged easy, are
staying in the danger area!
! Before buying and using Agrochemicals read first the information written on the bag. Use safety clothes,
breathing protection and your addition personal protective equipment when working with aggressive
chemicals!
! The hopper must be empty after the done job to avoid any risk for persons or animals!
! Keep children away from the seeder!
! During operation: Don´t open the cover, don´t take a look into the hopper, don´t look direct into the
spreader plates.
! Before each operation on the seeder or any components of it interrupt the power and hydraulic supply!
! Use breathing and eye protection when filling in the hopper!
! For every operation on the seeder wear the correct gloves!
! Don´t transport the seeder with filled hopper!
Control unit and power supply:
 Protect the control unit from wet conditions, from hints and fall downs to keep the functionality of the
unit. Take care to the right polarity when connecting the unit to the battery (don´t mix + and - !)
! Mount the control unit outside of the danger area! (f.e. in the tractor cab). When you have to longer the cable,
take care to the correct cross section of the cable. The connections have to be clean, no free wires (have to be
isolated), no distant wires, be sure that the wires are connected correct, so that enough power gets to the control
unit and seeder!
Page 4 of 26

! Be sure that the cables can’t be rubbed and overheated. Is the isolation damaged, change the cable
immediately!
Mounting and frame:
Take care on following points when mounting the seeder:
! If the frame is made by your own it must have enough carrying capacity.
! During driving strong vibrations are coming to the seeder and frame  Frame and connections must
withstand this vibrations; Check the connections, if they are tight, before and after every operation;
Check the cross beams and frame if there are cracks or damages before and after every operation!
! Be sure that there is enough space around the seeder to do adjusting and workings without danger!
! The safety steps for filling the hopper must be done according to DIN EN 14018. (available on request)
Operation:
· The seeder is not for aggressive seeding material developed (f.e. mineral fertilizer)
· To bring out rape, clover, mustard, slug pellets, phacelia, lucerne, rye, oat, peas, micro granulate, wheat,
grass seed, ...
· To mount on striegle, disc harrow, grubber, roller, seed combinations, grass harrow, harvest machines,
combine, ...
· The seeder is developed for agricultural use to bring out seed and not aggressive mineral granulate. For
every other use expires the guarantee and product liability!
Hydraulic system (just for seeders with hydraulic system!)
The hydraulic system on the fan wheel is made for max. 50lit/min and the motor max. 25lit/min. Don´t
exceed this amount otherwise the seeder can be damaged. No warranty!!
Warranty:
See warranty request in attachment!
Product liability:
The product liability is just valid when the machine is used appropriate. Is the machine not correct
maintained and controlled (f.e.: regularly checking of spread pattern and functionality of all parts, ...) we
don´t take liability to the damages or accidents occurred because of that.

Short description and shipment : see delivery note
Techn. details: see technical data sheet
Transport information:
The seeder can be carried on the 4 mounting points. Take care that the belts for all 4 points have the
same length and are strong enough. Are the differences in length too much the seed can overturn.
You can also use the hopper frame for carrying. Use here as well belts with the same length and which
are strong enough. If just two belts are used to carry the seed on the hopper frame, the carrying points
must be in the middle.
Mounting hints:
The seeder can be used for many seeds and granulates and with many implements according to the
mounting. The advantage of an individual mounting on your implement is the best modulation of the
seeder with the implement for your operation. The positioning of hopper, spreader plates and hoses are
depending on the implement. Here some hints for the optimal mounting:

8. Check the axial tolerance! (When the bottom flap is opened)
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
Plastic extends at high temperature and lowers less when cooling.
Please check when using the machine:
 The seed roll must have axial play.
 The plastic gears must have 0,4 to 0,5mm play between plastic gear and hexagon (left and right side) seed
axle.
Are this distances (plays) to low an unstable seed output is possible or the seed roll can stick.
0,4 to 0,5mm play

11
Bottom flap:
Bottom flap is closed = small seed
z.B: grass seed, rape, oil radish, lucerne, …
Open the bottom flap up to the marking for big seed
z.B: vetch, pea, wheat, rye, oat, beans, sun flower, barley, buckwheat, …
For emptying open the bottom flap complete.
Mesh to keep foreign objects away from the
seed roll.
Clumpy fertilizer or seed is taken back to
guaranty an equal material flow near the seed
roll.

12
Combination – Bottom flap with seed roll:
Between the plastic bottom flap and the seed roll should be a distance of
0,2 mm. The seed roll shouldn´t rub on the bottom flap.
The stainless steel bottom flap with stopper must be pressed to the seed roll to stop the full elements.
Just the geared seed roll elements turn.
Cover sheet:
For correct output amount take care on following point:
Above the seed roll is the adjustable cover sheet. It can be moved upward or downward.
For small seed put it in the lower third.
The quicker the seed roll turns the more move the cover sheet upward. So the seed roll is surely
completely filled every turn.
ATTENTION!!
Do this Adjusting before calibrating the machine. Otherwise the seed output amount is not correct.

PROFI CONTROL UNIT
Speed knob:
For adjusting the speed on the seed roll motor=adjusting of output amount. The amount cann be
changed during operation
The seed roll motor speed = output amount can be adjusted stepless with this Poty. This can be done during
operation too to get the correct output amount. (Because of technical reason 0-3 without function.)
Calibration of the seeder:
Before start working the seeder must be calibrated. Note this adjustings for future operations (driven speed,
output amount, working width, poty adjustment, ...). Keep the fan turned off. Open the bottom flap on the
seeder (two spanner nuts). Let the flap hang downwards and put a vessel for collection below. (Be sure that
you have weighed this vessel). Fill in a small amount of seed into the seeder and close the hopper cover. Now
switch the seed roll on (Main switch to on and choosing a poty position, press the red button). Collect the
seed for 1 minute and weigh it accurate. The seed roll flap must be in correct position! Now calculate with
following formula how many kg per min have to be in the vessel.
Working width x Driven speed x Output amount/Ha
600
z.B.:
6m x 7km/h x 20kg/ha
600
6 x 7 = 4,2 ha/h x 20 kg/ha = 84 kg Output amount/h : 60 min
Is an amount of 1,4 kg/min which should be in your vessel.
z.B.: You know the working width, the driven speed and the output amount per hectare. As above mentioned
you can put in the different values into the formula and you get the needed amount. During calibration the
seed roll motor must run with the same speed during operation. Keep the cover closed! Is the calibration
done, close the bottom flap with the two spanner nuts.

Green LED on right side flashes = Seed roll turns
4. Calibration function: Only the seed roll turns on/off. Just for using during calibration. Don´t use in
general operation because the fan isn´t working, the hoses will block.
5. This button activates the ON/OFF sensor.
Yellow LED shines = sensor is active
Mounting of the ON/OFF sensor
The sensor stops the seed roll when no metal is opposite and switches the seed roll on when metal is
opposite. Sensor-DM: 12mm; max. reacting distance: 2mm. Check if the sensor has contact. When the
sensor has contact the led must shine. Be sure that the sensor switch off (Led dosn´t shine)
Activation and Dectivation of ON/OFF sensor:
Switch off the unit with the main switch. Wait about 2 seconds. Switch on again and press immediately the
yellow button for 2-3 seconds. When the yellow LED shines the sensor is active. Isn´t it shining the sensor
is not active.

The speed sensor
reacts to metall
.
For measuring the speed the sensor needs impulses (f.e. screw heads)
That screw heads can be mounted on a roller or the inner side of the tractor rim of wheel. The calculation
value is shown in mm/impulse. The driven way from impulse to impulse must be between 1 and 500.
Tractor wheel
Driven way:
Driven way from impulse to impulse
Calculate the needed screw heads as follows:
F.e.: Your wheel/roller with a diameter of 2m. -> Range (Diameter x 3,14 = range) is 6,28m = 6280mm. The
maximum driven distance from impulse to impulse must be below 500. Because of that (6280/500=12,56)
minimum 13 signals are needed. We recommend to use 20 signals. The signals can be mounted in any
radius. The only thing: The sensor must switch off between the signals.

Mounting possibilities speed sensor:
Check the impulses/signals before first use.
Attention! The sensor must count every signal (light shines) (Pict 1) and switch off between the signals
(light off) (Pict 2)
Errors
:
1. If the light doesn´t shine the distance between sensor and metal can be to big (max. 4mm).
2. If the light doesn´t turn off, the distance between the impulses is too small. Mount the impulses in a bigger
radius.
The on/off sensor stops the seed roll if there is no metal on opposite. If there is metal opposite the
sensor the seed roll turns. Sensor diameter: 30mm; max. reacting distance: 8mm. Check the sensor as
follows: Is metal opposite the sensor the light on the sensor must shine. Otherwise the light doesn´t
shine.
