1. TO THE MACHINE OPERATOR AND THOSE IN CHARGE
OF THE MACHINERY
We wish you the best of success with your TUME seed and fertilizer sower. Instruction in this
manual gives the guidance for correct use, adjustments, maintenance and storage of the Tume
Super Nova Combi. Following the guidance of this manual your machine will serve you
impeccably and for a long time to come. It is very important to become acquainted with the
machine operating instructions well before the operating season of the machine. Both the
manufacturer, Tume-Agri Oy, as well as the authorized dealer, are happy to assist you with
questions related to the machinery.
Remarks regarding the Operating Instructions
Because this publication is distributed in an international sales network, the machinery shown in
the illustrations (as well as the standard equipment and accessories) can vary in different
countries. In different countries the statutory and otherwise important covers have been opened
or removed in some illustrations, in order to present a clearer view of the object. The equipment
is not allowed to be used without the covers. For your own safety, make sure that all covers are
in good condition or installed in place before commencing operations.
In this manual, the terms "left" and "right" in relation to the machine refer to the machine sides
seen from behind towards the direction of travel.
Tume-Agri Oy continuously develops its products and reserves a right to make changes and
improvements without commitment to carry out the said changes in machinery which is already
sold.
2. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Anyone using, maintaining or otherwise handling the TUME-seed and fertilizer sower,
must become carefully acquainted with this manual before starting to work.
Working or staying under an unsupported raised machine is strictly prohibited. Make sure
the machine stays up by closing the lift cylinder safety valves. Put the machine down if
you have to leave it unattended.
Staying on the machine or on the step level when the machine is in motion is prohibited.
The driver must ensure that nobody is near the machine when the machine is in motion.
Machine lubrication, adjustment or cleaning is not allowed when it is moving. Turn off the
engine and turn on the hand brake during maintenance work.
All covers must be kept mounted in their respective locations.
Ensure the correct connection of drawbar, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring to the
tractor and the work machine.
Damaged hydraulic hoses and connectors must be replaced without delay. Tractor
hydraulic valves and connections must be leak-free and in good condition. Transportation
position of the machine is dependent on these.
Due to the structure of the machine hydraulics, the hydraulics should be used only when
a 12V supply voltage is connected to the machine. If the power supply is out of order, act

8
with extreme caution in the use of hydraulics, because the movements taking place are
unlimited!
Optional hydraulic row markers may move very quickly, especially if the hydraulic throttle
valve is open and the tractor hydraulic flow is high. Use extreme caution when trying out
lift and a lowering of markers for the first time. Make sure that nobody is under a marker
or trajectory.
Make sure that at least 20 per cent of the tractor's weight is left on the front axle of the
tractor under all circumstances. If necessary, use additional weights. Be especially careful
if the drill is connected to an interim processing device and you are raising it with the
tractor's lifting gear i.e. in a case of reversal.
The maximum transport speed in good conditions is 30 km/h. Extreme caution and
reduced speed must use on uneven surfaces. Transfers should be preferably made when
containers are empty. Load being transported on the machine is prohibited. To keep tires
from breaking, avoid driving over rocks and other obstacles.
Never select a driving lane, where the extreme wheels of the machine are "on empty". In
such condition the machine can get too much swing. Choosing a wrong driving lane, can
cause the machine to fall.
Always, use caution when moving on top of the machine for cleaning or maintenance work
purposes, or filling the tanks.
When heated, machine painted surfaces can excrete gases harmful to health. Take care of
efficient ventilation in your workspace for example during welding operations.
Use only manufacturer-approved accessories and equipment. The party carrying out
alterations which does not follow manufacturer's instructions is responsible for the
alterations and their consequences.
Seed Drill does not cause any substantial increase in the noise level at the driver's cabin.
Possible hearing protection required depends on the tractor noise level. When handling
heavy and sharp components (e.g. drawbar and coulter parts) the use of safety boots is
recommended.
Keep your machine up to date also on the required road equipment, in case the machine
has to be transported on public roads. Regulatory changes are often made.
Power should be taken directly from the tractor battery with its own power cable if tractor
doesn’t have ISOBUS connector. Contact to your tractor dealer or manufacturer how to
install power cable to your tractor and ask for an authorized mechanic to install the power
cable with suitable and safe way. Tume-Agri Oy shall not be liable for any damage
resulting from improperly connected or damaged cable.
Check power cable condition from time to time. A damaged cable may cause
malfunction of the machine or tractor.
A damaged cable is a fire safety hazard. A damaged cable can cause electric shock.
It is forbidden to use the machine if the power cables are damaged. For example, if the
insulation materials have rubbed.
Do not connect or operate the machine if the electrical connectors are wet.

3. MACHINE APPLICATION
Tume Super Nova Combi – Combi seed drill is intended for simultaneous seeding and
fertilization. It is well suited for all sowing methods: direct sowing, sowing on minimally cultivated
or on normal cultivated soil.
The machine can also be used only for seeding or fertilization, according to the boundary
conditions stated below. Due to its structure, Super Nova Combi also intensifies the soil with its
support wheels. Under most circumstances, the support wheels also close the furrows made by
the coulters.
With the additional accessories, the number of features of Nova Combi may be increased, as the
combination machine and accessory may do the drilling and fertilization and, during the same
pass, among other things to modify or even out the arable land and sow grass seeds.
The use of Nova Combi to other purposes than the statedis prohibited. The machine is not meant
for example to transport materials with great speed or storing material in the containers of the
machine. The filling station of the machine should be located close to the field which will be sown
and the transport speed, when machine has a load should be in a reasonable relationship to the
container contents and road unevenness. Passenger transport with the machine is completely
prohibited!
3.1 Using the machine exceptionally for sowing only
If fertilizers are not being used, it is reasonable to move the partitioning in machine container to
its forward position and maximize the space for seed container.
If desired, for example due to the risk of soil drying out, to ensure that the seed is placed on the
bottom of the deepest opened groove, the seeds can be sown through the fertilizer container.
Calibration must also be done in this case by using the fertilizer side feeding device and
calibration trough. It must also be taken into account that the fertilizer side sieves may not pass
through the seeds which will be sown. In this case, the sieves must be removed.
In order to achieve the maximum drilling capacity, seeds may also be sown through both
containers simultaneously (note: when sown through separate containers there is a 2 cm
difference in resulting depth). Please note that the calibrations must be then carried out for both
feeders and the sum of results forms a result describing the sowing rate.
3.2 Using the machine only for fertilizing.
Tume Nova Combi can also be used for fertilizer placement only. Fertilizer in this case will be
filled into the fertilizer or seed container or to both. Special instructions related to the mere
fertilizer placement are quite consistent with the instructions of the previous section.
On filling the entire machine with fertilizer, it should be noted that the fertilizer is usually heavier
material than the seeds. Thus, the machine will not be filled completely.

10
4. GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR SOWING
4.1 Coulter features in sowing
Nova Combi is equipped with 2-disc coulters, where the right and left discs have different
diameters. The first disc essentially determines the seed sowing depth and the largerdisc creates
a bit deeper groove for the fertilizers. Machine is also available with same size discs. With that
option seeds and fertilizers goes to the same depth.
4.2 Driving instructions
Always when lowering the machine, it must be simultaneously moved forward. Otherwise the
coulters may become blocked.
The machine is in the top position dependent on the tractor hydraulic valve. For this reason, in
the transfer drive one must ensure that the tractor's hydraulic valve cannot accidentally open or
leak.
NOTE! The end lift cylinder safety valves must always be kept open during the road
transport!
The front end of the machine can be lifted with the tractor hydraulic system during sowing, for
example in order to avoid clogging. This is done by the drive cylinder, which is managed by its
own double-phased valve. The aforementioned cylinders should also be used on the road, as a
higher ground clearance is then gained. Instead in sowing the front cylinder is used only when
necessary.
The machine must function on level ground in a horizontal position. If the machine is tilted
forward, the drawbar push rod needs to be adjusted longer. If the machine is tilted back, the push
rod needs to be shortened. Check and if necessary adjust the sowing depths after driving for a
while. Check the adjustment of markers by examining the sowing seam.
NOTE! Lift and lower the machine only when it moves forward. Never retreat the machine
with coulters on the ground and the transmission connected. Machine sounds an alarm if
reversing while its down or rear harrow is down.
Check from time to time, that there are no blockages in coulters. Also check all the seed and
fertilizer pipe conditions and clean any blockages.
Do not store fertilizer or seeds for several days in the containers, especially in the damp weather.
Damp fertilizer can cause feeding problems.
Driving speed:
Good driving speed is normally 8-14 km/h.
Driving speed while sowing bean and pea 6-7 km/h.
Max. transport speed with empty hoppers 30 km/h.
4.3 Notable tips to operate the machine
Some large and light seed types (i.e. some oats) may experience difficulty in flowing through the
sieves. In such case remove the sieves from the seed tank. Use extreme caution when filling the
tank, so that no large particles get mixed with the seeds and damage feeders.
The calibrations of the machine are done in seed and fertilizer sides to the trays below feeder

11
chambers. Exercise caution when pushing the troughs into place. Hold them in an absolutely
straight line in terms of the machine. If a trough is pushed strongly so that its head is directed
upwards, the trough can hit one of the feeder chambers and damage them.
Be careful while taking the sieves out from the hopper. Sieve hitting a level sensor may damage
the sensor.
Most common error in the use of Super Nova Combi is that too much weight is placed on coulters.
Weighing is sufficient when the working depth is achieved, that is that the coulter sledge moves
on steadily relying on the front wheel, nothing more! Too much weight on the coulter increases
the risk of machine becoming blocked and strains the machine structures unnecessarily.
5. COMMISSIONING THE MACHINE
5.1 Rear wheels
Rear wheels function in the way that the longer cylinders at the ends of the machine turn a tube
frame with the width of the machine, in which are connected also the extreme wheel pairs. The
intermediate wheel pairs in turn are mounted by means of joints to the tubular body and they
operate with their own drive cylinders. All these cylinders have been connected to the same
hydraulic circuit and thus they all share the same pressure. For this reason the wheel pairs can
adjust to the ground irregularities but the rolling force is still standard throughout the working
width (picture 1).
Geometry of rear wheels has been planned in the way, that in working position the pressure on
all wheel pairs is nearly the same. On the other hand, with the machine lifted to its up position,
the loose middle wheel pairs carry some more of the load. In this way the probability of peripheral
wheel pairs becoming damaged is reduced, as those are the ones which most often are damaged
in transit drive.
Also note when reversing the scrappers and the step of the back wheels, they are very close to
the ground. Watch out for obstacles! When reversing over a high threshold etc. the above-
mentioned scrapers rise higher if the machine is slightly lowered. Check that under the coulters
will be enough room so that they will not hit obstacles.
Picture 1. Rear wheels.
5.2 Front wheels
The front support wheels determine the depth the coulters can sow (picture 2). While seeding the
front wheels are on the ground and hold the coulter unit with two coulters. The adjustment is
coulter sledge-specific, and therefore one-wheel controls two coulters. Adjustment is done with

12
quick latches which are in the front edge of the sledge. By adjusting the latch to the lowest
notches, the maximum sowing depth can be achieved. Respectively, by adjusting the latch i.e. to
the upper notches sowing can be done to soil surface. Adjusting seeding depth is described
completely in chapter 9.
Picture 2. Front wheels.
Front wheels are pulled up by springs. Watch that front wheels do not hit to any
obstacles while making steep turns. Wheels can move downwards if machine
bounces and hit to an obstacle or ground causing damages to the wheel!
5.3 Drawbar installation
Drawbar is assembled according to picture 3 Note, that drawbar is always mounted to the upper
holes of the machine’s lower brackets. The hydraulic push rod is mounted also to its upper hole.
Hydraulic hoses and electricity wires are connected to the drawbar carefully so that they cannot
be damaged in any driving situation. Pull hoses and wires through the drawbar.
Picture 3. Drawbar installation.
Adjust the length of the push rod so that the machine is lowered and, in the tractor trailer hitch,
the wheel packer or CultiPack are connected horizontally. Ensure, that the push rod cylinder is
in its shortest position when adjustment is carried out. Fine adjustment of drawbar is done in the
field in sowing conditions.
Connect to
upper holes.

tractor trailer hitch or wheel packer.
Picture 5. Drawbar cylinder is connected to the front hole if machine is used together with
CultiPack cultivator. This needs its own tip for to the drawbar.
5.4 Connecting the machine to tractor
Super Nova Combi is normally connected to the tractor trailer hitch, wheel packer or CultiPack
cultivator. Connecting machine to a drawbar connected to three point linkage is not
recommended. It reduces weight from the front and impairs handling.

5.5 Hydraulic connections
Standard Super Nova Combi lift/lower hydraulics are connected to single action valve. Drawbar
cylinder needs its own double action valve. Free return must not have counter pressure and it is
best to connect directly to tank.
NOTE! Too big counter pressure in free return slows down rear harrow’s downwards
movement or can prevent it completely from going down.
Close the valve in the lift hydraulic hose before disconnecting it from the tractor by turning the
lever crosswise to hose. Open valve after connecting the hose to tractor.
If machine has markers, the work with the same valve as machine lifting and lowering. Then the
hoses (lift and markers) must be connected to double action valve.
Hydraulic front board needs its own double action valve.

5.6 Electric connections
5.6.1 ISOBUS -tractors
Super Nova Combi uses power from ISOBUS connector. Connect machine ISOBUS connector
to tractor.
Picture 6. Machine’s ISOBUS connector.
Machine has own plug for its rear lights. Connect it to tractors light socket.
5.6.2 Tume -harness connection
In case there is no ISOBUS connector, the power is taken directly from tractor battery with power
cable delivered with the Super Nova Combi. Power cable should be installed in a way that it is
not necessary to remove the cable from the tractor even the seed drill is uncoupled.
Contact to your tractor dealer or manufacturer how to install power cable to your
tractor and ask for an authorized mechanic to install the power cable with suitable
and safe way.
Ensure that the power cable cannot be harmed by any moving components, i.e. tractor’s cabin
suspension parts. Note also tractors own possible main power switch. Power cable has 50 A fuse
and main power switch for the seed drill. This cable is not needed to detach when seed drill is
detached from the tractor. If you change tractor used for pulling the seed drill, move the cable to
that other tractor or order and install another similar cable.
Check power cable condition from time to time. Damaged or broken cable should
be replaced or fixed immediately. Damaged power cable can cause a safety hazard.

power blackout it is recommended to check feeding rate adjustments and tramline settings.
When machine is stopped for a longer period, e.g. overnight, power should be switched off with
main power switch (S1).
To disconnect seed drill from tractor, open connectors A1.1 and A1.2. Close connectors with
caps to keep them clean.
For the rear lights there is own 7 pin light plug. Connect that to the tractor’s light socket.
5.6.4 Electrically controlled up and down limits for lifting
NOTE! Machine’s maximum lifting and lowering height is controlled by electrical valves
(picture 9).
WARNING! Power should be connected always when machine is moved. If power
is disconnected a serious coulter or tire/rim damage may occur!
If power is not connected, be careful when lifting and moving the machine!

6. FILLLING THE HOPPERS
When starting the sowing, it is recommended that the machine is transferred to the field empty.
Fertilizers and seed are brought to the field, for example, with a trailer, and the filling of the seed
drill is done on the edge of a field. If the machine must be filled far away from the field to be sown,
the transfer drive with full container loads should be done with caution. The greatest transfer
speed of 30 km/h can be used on steady roads with empty hoppers. The maximum speed is with
full hoppers at 15 km / h.
Emptying of the hoppers can be monitored by area meters after figuring out how many hectares
you can seed with full hoppers. Terminal gives an alarm when there is a certain amount of seed
or fertilizer in the hopper and the hopper level monitoring is turned on.
6.1 Adjustable hopper volume
Fertilizer and seed hoppers have an adjustable dividing
wall, so the relationship between tanks, can be
adjusted. Adjustment can be done by opening the
locking screws of wall support rods and by turning the
dividing partition to a desired position (picture 10).
Remember to lock the support rods following the
adjustment.

6.2 Filling method
The filling height of the machine is quite large and container volume is large. For this reason, we
recommend that for the filling method is used big bags (NOTE: sufficient lift equipment), or for
example, the filling screw technology.
Big bags can be treated with a variety of loaders. Do not go under a hanging load. Big bag may
not be put on the till seed drill structures. Do not overload the drill. Find out about the methods to
partially drain a big bag.
7. DRAINING OF HOPPERS
7.1 Draining of fertilizer hopper
Large amounts of fertilizer is recommended to remove from hopper through the draining holes
(picture 11) using the draining pipe. After connecting the draining pipe to the draining hole, open
the slide from the side. Draining can be done through the coulters as well. Spread the load cover
under the machine and turn the fertilizer side bottom flaps lever over value 4. In this case, the
tank empties almost completely. Guide the remaining fertilizer with a brush, or something similar,
to the plenum. Rotate the feeder motors with a calibration button (picture 11) for a few turns, so
that the chambers empty out. Finally, swing the bottom flaps with the lever quickly a few times,
so that no fertilizer is left on top of the flaps.

NOTE! Calibration buttons work only when seeding menu or calibration menu is visble in
the terminal.

Attach draining pipe to the draining hole and open the draining valve to empty the hopper.
7.2 Draining the seed hopper
Seed tank is drained the same way as fertilizer tank.
8. FEEDING MECHANISM AND ADJUSTMENTS
8.1 Speed measurement and feeding rate determination
Feeding motors take power from tractor battery. Computer calculates motor rotatingspeed, which
is the feeding amount, using drivingspeed and calibration result. This is done individually for both
halves of the machine. Four meter machine is divided to two two meter parts and three meter
machine to tow 1,5 meter parts.
Speed sensors are located to rear wheels on both sides (picture 12). Speed is calculated for both
halves so that in the inner curves the feeding amount decreases and in the outer curves it
increases. This way the feeding amount is more accurate even when not driving straight. The
same sensors measure also the area.
