1. Electrical installation on tractors
2. Installation of hydraulics
• Mount ControlStation or the iPad in the tractor cab. Position it within your field of vision
when looking forwards, and preferably so that you can reach it comfortably.
Tractor main
switch
Connect the GateWay cable if the tractor has an ISOBUS terminal.
Lock the terminal using the locking bolt (A).
If the tractor is not equipped with an ISOBUS terminal, connect the positive side of the power supply
cable – AFTER the main power switch.

Settings
NOTE! It is possible to make approximate basic settings on a flat, solid floor, but you can only perform final
checks of your settings when sowing in the field!
Horizontal alignment
Horizontal adjustment of the seed drill is carried out by means of the push rod (B). The front and rear
seed rows must have the same depth. If you shorten the drawbar, the front row will be sown deeper. One
tip could be to look at the frame plate or the bottom edge of the plastic cap in relation to the ground.
If the machine is equipped with towing eyelets, the settings are changed with different hitch
heights!
These must be set in the field using the actual seed depth! See below.
First pack the soil lightly and then scrape off very thin layers of soil until the seeds are exposed. The
seeds in all rows should be exposed at the same time. If there are wide variations in seed depth, horizon-
tal adjustment may be necessary. After adjustment, lock the push rod with the locking tab (C).

Radar
B
It is often beneficial to calibrate the radar for an exact report. See chapter 7.4 in the instruction manual.
The radar angle must be adjusted. The angle must be 35° ± 1° in relation to the soil surface. The angle of
the radar is optimal when the surface (A) is parallel to the soil surface. Loosen the screws and adjust the
bracket along the oblong hole (B).
LowLift
When sowing, you should use low-lift in order to not lift the machine more than necessary, and so that
the following harrow also works on headlands.
See the respective overviews for iPad and ControlStation on how to connect and disconnect the function.
The LowLift switch triggers the start and stop of seed drilling!
The LowLift height should neither be too low nor too high.
The front tool must always be above ground height for low-lift!
If set too high, this will lead to a delay in the feed output shut-off.
Settings
The LowLift height is adjusted by moving the magnetic switch up or down in its holder by turning the
wing screw (A), which should then be locked using the wing nut (B).

Following harrow
There are two different following harrows on Rapid RD – hydraulically controlled and mechanical.
Mechanical following harrow
Hydraulic and mechanical following farrow.
The work pressure is set using the socket supplied.
- Lower the machine, then lift it to low-lift.
- Remove the R cotter pin (B) holding the adjusting screw (A) in position.
- In this position, the following harrow must be pressed lightly against the ground, with greater pressure
on heavy soils and more gently on light soils or where there is a lot of hay.
The aggressiveness is selected by moving the cotter pin the
bracket’s pin hole (B).
It is important to consider the presence of any hay here too.

It is important that you also check that the following harrow tines run between the seed rows, one tine
should run straight in front of the wheel, and one centrally between the wheels.
If you need to adjust the entire tine row, do so by loosening the bolts holding the shaft in the drawbar.
Front tools
All front tools, other than the CrossBoard system, are depth-adjusted using clips located on the piston rod.
Operation of the front tool is controlled by the lift circuit (Yellow circuit).
If the machine is equipped with CrossBoard, this is controlled by the white hydraulic circuit.
Fertiliser coulters
Fertiliser coulters are operated using a crank on the right
and left side respectively.
Normally, the fertiliser depth is deeper than the seed depth.

Spill prevention plates
Spill prevention plates must be adjusted so that they remove
any soil ridges that may be created between the furrows. They
must therefore press lightly against the ground when sowing.
The spill prevention plates are adjusted vertically depending
on seed depth and the prevailing conditions.
Remove the cotter pin (A) and place it at the desired height
position.
When you have found the right height, you should also tighten
the screw union (B) to prevent play.
The spill prevention plates are also adjustable horizontally, by
moving the bolts on the top (C).
C
It is also possible to adjust the angle of the spill prevention
plates against the ground. Loosen the screws (D),
Adjust the angle and tighten to 385 Nm.
It is important that, once adjustment is done, the bottom
edge lies flat against the ground or is angled slightly back-
wards.
In order to reduce transport width, the spill prevention plates
can be folded up.
Loosen the cotter pin (A), fold up the spill prevention plates
and lock them again using the cotter pin.

1a. Calibration
If you access any of the calibration menus, a pop up will appear:
NOTE! Feed output stops if you access any of these menus!
Select Yes
Before calibration is performed, the bottom flaps and sliding hatches must be
correctly adjusted. If small-sized seed needs sowing, normal rollers must also be
disengaged. See attachment 1.
1. Enter the required seed application rate (
kg/ha)
2. Enter the required reduction/decrease of
variable application rate in %.
3. Mount the calibration trays and reverse the
calibration flaps on the lever on the side of the
seed hopper (see image on next page).
