1. For the machine user and others responsible for the
machine
We wish you every success with your TUME seed drill. This instruction manual provides best-practice
instructions for the use, adjustment, maintenance and storage of Tume JC -machinery. Following the
instructions in this book will ensure that your machine will provide you with long, trouble-free service.
It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the instructions before making full-time use of the
machine. Please retain this manual and keep it in an easilyaccessiblelocation. The replacement part number
of the manual is printed on the cover. Please make a record of this number, as it will enable you to order a
new copy should the need arise.
Both the manufacturer, Tume-Agri Oy, and authorized resellers will be happy to provide assistance in
questions relating to the use or maintenance of this machine.
About the presentation of this manual
As this publication is distributed across our international sales network, the equipment depicted in illustrations
(both the standard equipment and accessories) may vary based on the country in which you are located. For
certain countries, covers may for legal and otherwise important reasons be opened or removed in certain
illustrations in order to provide a clearer view of the object in question. The machine must not be used without
protective covers. In order to guarantee safe use, you must ensure that all covers are intact or installed in
place before starting work.
When a reference is made in this manual to "left" and "right" sides, this is when viewed from the rear of the
machine looking forwards in the direction of travel.
Tume-Agri Oy is continually developing its products, and therefore reserves the right to make changes and
improvements without prior notice and with no commitment to make retro-active changes to any products
sold prior to the changes.
2. General safety regulations
All persons handling, maintaining or who have any form of access to a TUME-seed drill must be
thoroughly familiar with this instruction manual before using, or performing maintenance or repairs
on the machine. Be sure to comply with the instructions in this manual!
Entrust the performance of difficult repairs to an authorized brand repair shop.
Use only original Tume parts, and do not make structural modifications to the machine without the
agreement of the manufacturer.
Working or being located under a machine without supported hydraulics is strictly prohibited.
Secure the position of the machine by closing the lift cylinder safety vents, see Figs. 38-39. If you
must leave the machine unattended, lower the machine and lock the markers mechanically.
Staying on the machine or on the step level when the machine is in motion is strictly prohibited.
The driver must ensure that no persons are close by when the machine is in motion or when
hydraulic functions such as engine or lowering or raising markers are being used.
Before reversing the machine, make sure that no one, e.g. children, is standing to its rear.

Work machine lubrication, adjustments and cleaning are prohibited while the machine is in motion.
Turn off the tractor engine and apply the hand brake during all maintenance. Ensure that no
outsider can access the control equipment of the tractor or machinery when you are maintaining or
repairing the machine!
All covers must be mounted in position when the machine is in operation.
Ensure that the traction device, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring are correctly connected to the
tractor and work machine. Lines and cables must be laid out in such a way that they are not at risk
of damage when the machine is in use.
Damaged hydraulic lines and connectors must be replaced without delay Tractor hydraulic vents
and connections must not leak and must be in good condition. These ensure the correct transport
position of the machine.
Hydraulic markers may raise or lower at high speed, especially if the throttle valve is set too wide
or if the hydraulic flow rate produced by the tractor is high. Be particularly careful when attempting
to raise or lower the markers for the first time. Ensure that nobody is under or in the path of the
hydraulically-raised markers.
The markers must be mechanically locked into their upper position before transporting the
machine by road, or when the machine is parked and the machine driver is not present.
Ensure that a minimum of 20% weight is placed on the tractor’s front axle under all conditions. Use
additional weights as required. Be particularly careful if connecting suspension arms to the tractor.
The maximum permissible driving speed under good conditions is 30 km/h. On uneven terrain,
special care must be taken, and speed must be reduced. Transfers should preferably be performed
with empty containers. Carrying loads on top of the machine is prohibited. Do not drive over rocks
or other obstacles so as to avoid tire damage.
Use caution when moving on top of the machine to carry out cleaning or maintenance, or when
filling the containers.
Make sure that the machine is carefully parked when disconnecting the machine from the tractor.
The machine must be mechanically prevented as required from rolling downhill. The machine’s
lifting hydraulics should be locked at the stopcocks (see Figs. 38–39), markers should be
mechanically locked into their transport position and the hydraulic lines to the tractor must be
depressurized. The tow bar must be supported with a machine support stand.
When heated, coated surfaces may emit vapors that are harmful to human health. Ensure that work
premises are properly ventilated, for example during welding. Remove the paint if necessary, e.g.
by abrasion.
Use only manufacturer-approved accessories and equipment. Modifications which do not comply
with the manufacturer’s instructions and the consequences thereof are the responsibility of the
party performing such modifications.
We in particular recommend the use of optional eye protection and a respiratory mask, especially
when filling the seed dressing device. The use of protective equipment is particularly important
when cleaning the machine with a high-pressure device.
The seed drill does not significantly increase noise levels inside the working area of the tractor
cabin. Ear protectors may need to be used, dependent on tractor noise levels.
We recommend that safety boots be worn when handling heavy or sharp components (such as
parts of the tow-bar and coulter).
You should also keep your machine up-to-date in terms of the required equipment for road use, in
the event that the machine must be transported on public roads. Road use regulations may often
change
