Do not make field adjustments while machine is in motion.

Do not enter tank unless another person is present and hydraulic hoses are disconnected from the tractor.

Operate machine from the tractor seat only.

Keep hands and fingers away from hinge areas when positioning auger. Lock auger in storage position before operating in the field.

Clear area around machine before raising or lowering machine conveyor system.

Stop tractor on level ground when raising or lowering machine conveyor system.


Do not operate with conveyor in raised position. To improve stability, travel through the field with the conveyor in its home position. Return to home transport position and install transport pins just before leaving the field and entering a roadway.

Do not operate close to the edge of a ditch, creak, gully or steep embankment.

Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions which may cause tractor, cart or seeding tool to roll over, especially on hillsides.

Avoid sharp turn on hillsides.

Slow down when turning or traveling over rough ground, and when turning on inclines.

Shut off tractor and shift in to ‘Park’ or set brakes when leaving tractor. Remove key when leaving tractor unattended.

Stay Clear of Air Hoses

Stay clear of hoses when fan is running. Seed or fertilizer blowing out at high speed can cause eye and other personal injuries. Never attempt to clear blockage from air hoses or seeding tool boots while fan is running.

Use a Signal Person

Use a signal person to direct movement of the tractor/seed cart/seeding tool combination whenever the tractor operator’s view is obstructed.

Designate one individual as the Signal Person. Always have the signal person stand in clear view. Be sure signal person stays a safe distance away from the machine when it is moving.


Prior to starting the tractor, discuss hand signals and what each signal means to avoid misunderstandings and confusion which could result in a serious injury or fatal accident for someone.

Keep all bystanders away whenever the machine is in motion.

Do not stand between seed wagon and implement while machine is in motion.

Wear Protective Clothing

Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating machine.

Keep Shields in Place

Do not operate commodity cart without safety shields in place.

Rotating parts can crush or dismember, causing a fatal accident or personal injury.

To avoid serious injury or fatal accident from entanglement, do not allow person(s) or clothing to be near auger when it is in motion.

Keep auger hopper screen in place at all times.

Shut off tractor and disconnect hydraulic hoses before removing shields for adjustment or service.


Use a Safety Chain

A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it accidentally separate from the drawbar of the tractor. A safety chain of the proper strength rating is provided with the machine as standard equipment.

Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.

Transport Safety

Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or fatal accident may occur. Proceed cautiously under overhead power lines and around utility poles. Know the transport height of your machine.

Do not position conveyor when near electric power lines.

Electrocution can occur without direct contact with overhead electric power lines.

Do not transport with an underweight tractor.

Prevent collisions between motorist and slow moving equipment on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use the turn signals where necessary.

Always use the flashing warning lights, day and night, when transporting on public roads. Keep reflective material and SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign clean and visible.

Passengers on the machine are strictly forbidden.

DO NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM TRANSPORTATION SPEED OF 20 MPH (32 KPH) DURING TRANSPORTATION. LOSS OF VEHICLE/MACHINE CONTROL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

Front Hitch decal


Danger Zone

Only enter the Danger Zone when the lifting cylinder depth stops are inserted.

Handle Pesticides and Fertilizers Carefully

Chemicals may cause eye, skin or breathing problems. Wear face mask, or breathing apparatus, gloves and goggles.

Keep dust away from skin and hair.

Keep containers low when pouring. Let the wind blow the fumes and dust AWAY from you and other bystanders when mixing with seed or when filling the tank.

Wear a filtered respirator if you cannot avoid dust.

Wear goggles to protect your eyes.

Wash exposed skin areas frequently. Do not leave pesticide on your skin!

Do not smoke while handling pesticides.

Properly dispose of pesticide containers, unused pesticides and left over treated seed and fertilizer.

Read and observe manufacturers recommendations.

Store pesticides in original containers with clearly visible and intact labels. Store in a separate, plainly marked locked building.


Use Handrails and Steps

Falling is a major cause of personal injury.

When you get on and off machine, always maintain a three-point contact with steps and handrails and face the machine. Do not use any controls as handrails or supports.

Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or dismount a moving machine.

Do not ride on the machine. Do not stand on the tanks or catwalk.

Keep Riders off Machines

Keep riders off the machine at all times when in operation and in motion.

Riders are subject to injury, such as being struck by foreign objects and being thrown off the machine.

Riders also obstruct the operator’s view, resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

Passengers on the machine are strictly forbidden.

Use Safety Light and Devices


Prevent collisions between other road users, slow moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and self-propelled machines on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, use turn signals where necessary.

Use headlight, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting and marking. Keep lighting and marking visible and in good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking that has been damaged or lost.

Transport Safely

Always travel at a reasonable and safe speed. Never exceed 16 mph.

Never transport with any tank more than half full. If tanks are full travel speed should not exceed 10 mph.

Never transport with fan running.

Keep hands and fingers away from hinged areas when positioning auger. Always lock auger in storage position.

Shift the tractor in to a lower range or gear when transporting down steep slopes or hills. Latch the tractor left and right brakes together so when in use the tractor brakes evenly. Stop slowly.

Avoid loss of control due to decreased braking ability when transporting down sloped roadways, wet or muddy roadways or roadways covered with loose gravel or sand.

Avoid steep slopes. Some slopes may exceed tractor braking capability.

Transport only with a properly sized tractor.

Refer to ‘Calculating Minimum Tractor Weight for Safe Transport’ before transporting down a hill. Shift tractor to a lower gear and travel at a reduced speed. Reducing the speed maximizes stability and control and the tractors braking capability.

Use engine braking to reduce speed if available.

Avoid sharp turns or rapid steering corrections on slopes.


Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.

Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:

• Do not tow this implement faster than 20 Mph (32 Km/h)

• Never transport cart when loaded on roadways

• Never tow this implement over 10 mph when fully loaded

Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing unit. The tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.

Practice Safe Maintenance

Understand service procedures before doing work to the machine. Keep area clean and dry.

Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power driven parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow machine to cool.

Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work and install any blocks or stops where needed.

Keep all parts in good operating condition and properly installed. Fix damaged areas immediately. Replace worn or broken items with OEM replacement parts from your authorized dealer. Remove any buildup of grease, oil and dirt and other debris.

Disconnect wiring harnesses and cables from the tractor plugs before making adjustments on electrical system components or welding on a machine.

When welding near an electronic control module or component, such as a monitor controller, unplug all connections and remove controller from the machine to prevent damage to the microprocessors.


High voltage electricity from a welder can be conducted through the drawbar and damage electronic devices on attached machines. To protect controllers, disconnect equipment from drawbars and hitches before welding.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before reapplying pressure.

Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.

If an accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or serious illness may result. Medical examiners unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.

Service Seeding Tool Safely

To help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement, be sure to service the machine on level surface.

If machine is connected to the tractor, engage parking brake and/or place transmission in ‘Park’ position, shut off engine and remove key.

If machine is detached from the tractor, block wheels and use safety stands to prevent movement.


Use for the Intended Purpose The Seed Wagon is built using the latest technology and in accordance with the relevant recognized safety regulations. However, risks of injury for the operator or third parties and impairment of the machine or other tangible assets can arise during use.

The machine is only to be used when in a technically perfect condition and for the intended purpose, taking into consideration safety and risks following the Operating Instructions. In particular, faults that can impair safety are to be remedied immediately.

The machine is only to be operated, maintained and repaired by trained technicians or persons having familiarity with the machine and have been informed of the risks involved.

Original parts and accessories from HORSCH have been specially designed for this machine. Spare parts and accessories not supplied by the company have not been tested and released for use. Installation or use of non-HORSCH products may have a detrimental effect on specific design features of the cultivator and affect the safety of machine operators and the machine itself.

HORSCH will accept no liability for damage resulting from improper use. The risk will be borne solely by the operator.

All relevant accident prevention regulations and the other generally accepted rules relating to health and safety, as well as road traffic regulations, are to be complied with.

Use for the intended purpose also includes following the Operating Instructions and observing the operating, maintenance and repair instructions specified by the manufacturer.

Operational Safety The machine must only be put into operation after receiving instructions by employees of the authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The Machine Registration Form is to be completed and returned to HORSCH.

All protective and safety equipment, such as removable protective equipment, must be in place and functioning reliably before the machine is put in to use.

Check nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and torque if necessary.

SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) signs must be clean and in place.

Check tire pressure regularly.

In the event of malfunction, stop and secure the machine immediately.

Ensure that any faults are remedied immediately.


Liability for Consequential Damage The machine has been manufactured by HORSCH with great care. Nevertheless, even when used for the intended purpose, deviations in the application rate, including total failure, may occur as a result of, e.g.…:

• Different composition of the seed (e.g., grain size distribution, density, geometrical shape, dressing, sealing).

• Blockages or bridge formation (e.g., as a result of foreign bodies, non-smooth seeds, sticky dressing, moist fertilizer).

• Worn earing parts (e.g., metering unit). • Damage as a result of outside influence(s). • Incorrect drive motor speeds and driving speeds. • Improper machine settings or incorrect attachment, non-adherence to the Setting Tables.

Therefore, it is crucial to always check the machine before and during operation for correct operation and function and adequate application accuracy.

HORSCH will not accept liability for any non-machine related damage resulting from incorrect seeding or operation.


Road Traffic Safety The valid road traffic regulations are to be observed when traveling on public roads, paths and areas. Do not exceed the maximum permissible transportation widths and heights and install road lighting equipment, warnings and safety covers where necessary. Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tire carrying capacities and total weights, in order to ensure sufficient steering and braking capabilities. Handling is affected by the implement connected. It is important to take into account the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of the implement, particularly when cornering. DO NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MPH DURING TRANSPORTATION. LOSS OF VEHICLE/MACHINE CONTROL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

The whole machine is to be cleaned of soil that has been collected before travel on public roads Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the machine. Accident Prevention In addition to those in the Operating Instructions, observe the accident prevention. Hitching and Unhitching the Air Seeder

Observe the following:

• Secure the machine against rolling. There is a danger of crushing between machines or tractor.

• Park machines alone or together with seeder on level ground. • Always lower the front jack when you park the cart and raise it when the seeder is in

transportation position.


Hydraulic System Do not connect hydraulic lines to the tractor before both hydraulic systems (machine and tractor)

are depressurized.

The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Check all lines, hoses and screwed connections regularly for leaks and any visible external damage! Only use appropriate aids when checking for leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil sprays can cause injuries and fire! In the case of injury, contact a doctor immediately!

The control units on the tractor must be secured or locked when not in use or when the machine is in transport position, in order to prevent accidents caused by unintended hydraulic movements or movements caused by persons other than the operator (children, passengers).

The male and female quick couplers for the hydraulic connections between the tractor and the machine should be color-coded in order to avoid incorrect use.


Pressure Accumulator Depending on the equipment of the machine, the hydraulic system may have a pressure accumulator installed. Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on the pressure accumulator. Even after being emptied, the accumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure. Always depressurize the pressure accumulator before starting work on the hydraulic system. The pressure gauge should not indicate any pressure. The pressure gauge reading should drop to 0 psi. Only then may service be carried out on the hydraulic system. Changing Implements

Secure the machine against unintended rolling! Secure lifted frame parts, under which you will be working, with suitable supports! Caution! Danger of injury caused by protruding parts (tines, discs)! Do not use the packer or other rotating parts when climbing onto the machine. These could start to rotate and you could fall and be seriously injured. Only use the special ladders when climbing onto the machine! During Operation

Check the area around the machine (for children!) before setting off and starting operation of the machine. Ensure sufficient visibility! Stay clear of the operating range of hydraulically operated parts. Passengers are not allowed to ride on the machine during operation! Only use the footboards when filling the machine and carrying out maintenance work. Do not stand on the machine when it is in operation! The prescribed protective equipment that was supplied with the machine is not to be removed. Electrical System Protect monitor and control system from high voltage.

WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE


Service and Maintenance Ensure that regular tests and inspections are always carried out to schedule, as specified in the Operating Instructions. Prior to performing maintenance and servicing work, ensure that the machine is positioned on firm, level ground and that it is properly secured against rolling away. De-pressurize the hydraulic system and lower or support the implement. Prior to cleaning the machine with a high pressure water source, cover all openings which, for safety or operational reasons, have to be protected again water, steam or cleaning agents. Do not point the water nozzle directly towards electrical or electronic components, bearings or the fan.

Do not wash new machines with a steam-jet or high-pressure cleaner. The paint takes approximately 3 months to cure and could thus be damaged if this time has not yet expired.

After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for leaks and loose connections. Check hoses for chafing and signs of other damage. Remedy any faults immediately! Prior to working on the electrical system, disconnect it from the electric power supply. Be sure to retighten screwed connections which had been loosened during servicing and maintenance work. Further information is noted in this manual here Service & Maintenance and here Maintenance.

Authorized Operators

Only those persons who have been authorized and instructed by the operator should operate the machine. The persons responsible for the different activities on the machine must be clearly stipulated and adhered to. Unclear responsibilities pose a safety risk. The person in charge must provide the operator with a copy of the Operating Instructions, and ensure that the operator has read and understood the instructions. Protective Equipment

For operation and maintenance, you will need the following: • Strong protective gloves. • Goggles and/or Face Shield. • Proper protective clothing/attire (apron). • Face mask/respirator/breathing apparatus.


Transport & Installation There is higher danger of accident during initial installation. Please pay attention to the notes in the corresponding chapters.

Delivery The machine with implements is normally delivered completely assembled on a low loader. If parts or modules had to be disassembled for transportation purposes, these will be assembled and installed on site by an authorized dealer or distributor. Depending on the design of the low loader the machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or needs to lift off with suitable lifting gear (forklift truck or crane). Sufficient load bearing capacity of lifting gear and lifting tackle must therefore be assured. Lifting and latching points are identified by labels. When using other lifting points pay careful attention to the center of gravity and the weight distribution. These points must, in any case, only be on the frame of the machine. Installation Instruction of the operator and initial installation of the machine will be carried out by our service technicians or authorized dealers.

Any use of the machine without dealer/distributor training is prohibited! The machine can only be released for operation after the instructional session has been conducted by our service technician or authorized dealer and after the operating instructions have been reviewed and understood.

There is higher danger of accident during installation and maintenance. Before performing any installation and maintenance work or service, make yourself familiar with the machine and read the operating instructions.

Depending on scope of equipment:

• Remove all parts from the hopper. • Take loosely delivered parts off the machine. • Check all important screw connections! • Lubricate all grease fittings! • Check air pressure in tires! • Check all hydraulic connections and hoses for correct fastening and function. • Immediately rectify any occurring damage or have it corrected by an authorized dealer!


Attaching the Machine

The Commodity Cart can be hitched up to the tractor directly or to the rear of a seeder. When hitching up the machine, ensure that nobody is between the tractor and the machine. When close to the machine, avoid sharp edges which can cause injury. Hitch the seeder and the cart to the tractor. Connect the ISO Bus System. Connect the Hydraulic System. Connect the lighting equipment. Raise the front jack in to the transport position. If the machine is equipped with a rear jack, repeat. Fold the side sections of the frame and secure with lock pins, cylinder stops or blocks. Drive only with an empty cart if possible. Transport is not recommended with the tank over half full. The maximum suggested transport speed is 16 mph, 10 mph if the tank is full.

Connecting the ISO Bus System The ISO Bus system is a communication device that allows a variety of electronic devices to talk to each other. This systems primary function is to control application rate of seed from the cart or seed tank. If the system includes NH3 application, a second control module and adapter harness and hardware is required. Set up and calibration of each control module is accessed from the terminal monitor in the tractor. For information regarding initial set up and calibration of the ISO Bus system please see the ISOBUS Operator’s Manual included with the machine.

Connecting the Hydraulic System Connect the hydraulic system only when the hydraulic quick couplings are depressurized. In order to prevent confusion, the quick connectors should be properly identified. Operation and function of the hydraulics on the attached seeder vary. Refer to the operating instructions for each seeder. Hydraulic Functions

When handling the machine, ensure that nobody is in the danger zone. The hydraulic functions are controlled by the operator while in the tractor.


Connecting the Road Lighting Equipment Depending on configuration of the seeder, for tow behind, the system would connect to the air seeder. For tow between, the system would connect to the tractor.

Description – SW1000 The HORSCH SW (Seed Wagon) 1000 has been specially design for use with other HORSCH equipment and seeders. The wagon can be hitched up either in the front of the seeder directly to the tractor or behind the seeder. The Drill Management ISO Bus system controls and monitors the metering devices, liquid fertilizer pump, hydraulic control block and all corresponding sensors. The seed or fertilizer is metered out of the pressure tank and in to the venture tubes via the metering units according to the cellular roller size, speed and computer settings. A hydraulic fan provides the required air flow to feed the seed from the venture through the air duct hoses to the openers. Depending upon the soil type and individual requirements for accurate seed placement, it is possible to sow seed sizes of 0.04 – 0.4” at a speed of 3.10 – 9.32 mph.

• Grain: Wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, sorghum, rice. • Large Seeds: Corn, peas, beans, soybeans, sunflowers. • Small Seeds: Grass, clover, alfalfa, rapeseed.

Seed Tank The Seed tank is divided in to four separate compartments with a total volume of approximately 1000 bushels. The compartments are pressurized and must always be kept closed and airtight in order to avoid malfunctions. Each compartment has a metering unit and a large lid opening on the top. To open the tank lid, press the release on the inside of the lever.

Axle The seed wagon is fitted with an adjustable track system. The track adjusts only for tension and alignment for proper toe, trailing and travel, and cushioning. The seed wagon is equipped with a hydraulic over accumulator system that applies pressure to the track tensioning cylinders. For further information on the track system see the Service & Maintenance section in this Owner’s Manual.


Seed Wagon Tank Fill Lid Adjustment Seed rate depends on the cart holding pressure. The fill lids of each tank must be tight enough so not to leak air under high pressure from the fan. Open the lid. Pull the handle back and the lid adjustment lock bolts and tube will rotate out of the way. The lid will then be able to be pushed open as it rolls to the side on a track.

Tighten each lid as necessary. This will assure a good seal and maintain proper pressure within the tank for optimum performance.

To tighten the lid and make for a tighter seal, loosen the jam nut. Then adjust the bolt out to put more pressure again the lid. Tighten the jam nut. Repeat for other side as needed. Then close the lid and check for leaks. Check Lid for Leaks To make sure that the lid is sealed properly, open the lid and coat the seal surface with planter talc or fine soil, or use a soapy water solution. Using these items will be easy to identify if there is a leak when the take is pressurized. Close the latch lid. Be sure ALL lids are closed and latched properly. Start the fan and lift on the lid, NOT THE HANDLE, DO NOT OPEN! CAUTION – EXTREME PRESSURE! The planter talc should blow out and indicate a leak or you should be able to hear the air pressure escape as you lift the lid edge.


Pneumatic System

The pneumatic system on the seed wagon is located just beneath the storage tanks and the frame. The system is made up of a hydraulic fan unit, a pressurized tank with four separate 250 bushel capacity tanks, and four metering devices fitted with air seed hoses.

The fan and air system can be mounted to the front or the rear of the seed wagon based on customers preference for staging the seed wagon and the air seeder. (Fan mounted to rear if seed wagon is trailing the air seeder. Fan mounted to front of seed wagon if in front of the air seeder trailing the tractor.)

The flow of air from the fan is conveyed, via tube, to the venturi and from there to the main distribution head and the openers.

In the venturi tube, seed and fertilizer are deposited by the metering units in the air flow and are conveyed to the distributors by the air flow and deposited in the soil through the openers of the seeder.

To ensure trouble-free seed conveyance and uniform metering quantity, all pneumatic components, such as the venturi tube, distributor, air and seed tubes, and the seed tank(s), must be absolutely air tight! Loss of pressure in the pneumatic system reduces the quantity which can be metered out. Leaks in the metering unit cause the air to swirl and may force seeds in to the compression section of the metering unit. This can damage seed and may cause blockage in the metering unit.

NOTE: On a Dual Shoot air system, both fans must be running at all times.


Hydraulic Fan

The fan generates the air flow which conveys the seed from the metering unit to the openers of the air seeder.

The fan is mounted and driven by a hydraulic powered motor. The hydraulic system of the tractor delivers the power for the motor.

The tractor must be equipped with a flow-control valve for the direct drive and the hydraulic pump must convey sufficient oil to ensure that the fan speed does not drop even if there is a drop in the speed of the tractor or if other hydraulic functions are operated.


Technical Data: Motor Displacement: …………………………. 1.16 Cubic inch/rev Operating Pressure: ………………………….… 2000 PSI Oil Flow Rate: ……………………………………… approx. 15.4 GPM @ 3000 RMP, 25.6 GPM @ 5000 RPM Fan Speed: ………………………………………….. 3000-5000 RPM

Mode of Operation The oil is fed to the hydraulic motor via the selector valve. It is then returned back through the return line. The fan motor internal case drain leakage returns in to the hydraulic tank via case drain hose.

The case drain hose line must be connected to the tractor free of pressure! The maximum case drain hose pressure is 75 psi, (measured at the motor).

The Check valve allows the hydraulic motor to free-wheel to stop after the hydraulic system has been switched off.

If a filling auger conveyor system is attached, the oil is fed through a two-way valve to the conveyor hydraulic motor on the filling system.

Adjusting Fan RPM The fan speed is regulated by the oil flow rate at the tractor flow-control valve as the speed increases in proportion to the hydraulic pressure.

To check the hydraulic pressure, add a pressure gauge (3000 psi) at the pressure port of the fan hydraulic motor.

The pressure should be between 900-2000 psi (maximum) and the speed between 3000-5000 rpm.

Retightening the Fan Impeller The tapered bushing on the hydraulic motor fan drive can become loose due to temperature fluctuations and material deposits on the impeller. The impeller can then creep on the drive shaft and destroy the fan. Therefore, the tapered bushing should be retightened after approximately 50 hours and checked again during regular routine maintenance or at least once per year.

To do so, the fan guard must be removed. (See picture below) The tapered bushing (1) fixes the impeller (2) in position and simultaneously tightens itself on the drive shaft (3).


When retightening the tapered bushing screws, keep the following in mind:

• When the screws are tightened, particularly in the case of reassembly, the impeller moves towards the housing in the direction of the guard.

• A loose tapered bushing MUST be aligned to the hydraulic motor! • The tapered bushing screws must be tightened absolutely uniformly in several steps. • The tapered bushing flange should be lightly tapped using a light plastic hammer or a

hammer handle, to facilitate proper seating on the clamping cone. • The UNC 10-24 screws must be tightened to a maximum 1.5 foot/lbs. dry torque. After

tightening, the impeller must be checked for free and uniformly smooth running. • Replace fan guard before operation.

Adjustment of Fan Sensor After the rotor has been tightened securely on to the motor shaft, and spins freely without contacting the housing, you must make sure that the sensor is within 1/8” of the fan targets designated on the rotor itself when replacing the fan sensor. These targets will either be the two 3/8” bolts on the rotor or the three smaller bolts of the hub that secures the rotor to the shaft.

Make sure that the sensor does not come in contact with the bolts or damage will occur that will cause the sensor to send false readings and eventually fail.


Air System

The air system is mounted below the metering unit. It connects the metering units to the air system. The seed is fed through the system to the airflow which then conveys it to the main distribution head and the openers of the air seeder.

There is a hinged flap attached to the underside of the venturi. To carry out a calibration test, open the flap and remove the seeds. After completing the calibration test, ensure the flap is closed tightly.

All the connectors of the air system MUST be air tight! Any leaks will affect the metering, resulting in incorrectly filled metering unit cells, blocked tubes and inaccurate seed distribution.

Whenever the metering unit is in operation, care must be taken that the components are absolutely tight. Leakages can lead to metering errors.

When assembling the metering unit, the supporting surfaces must be sealed and the housing must not be distorted when being attached.

The metering unit is closed at the bottom by the entering chamber. In this, the seed is entered into the air flow.

When calibrating, the seed is removed from the metering unit via the opening in the metering chamber.

Subsequently, the cover must again be tight and firmly closed.

Meter Roller Alignment

Meter Roller NOT centered Meter Roller IS centered

To align the Meter Roller in the meter housing correctly, you must use the washers that are at each end of the meter shaft to position the meter roller in the center of the housing. You must make sure to install the C-clip (Part # 00170053 – shown in picture below) in the bearing holder to assure that the meter stays centered. If the meter roller is not centered correctly, transfer correct thickness washer from one side to the other as needed.


Roller Seed Rate Chart


Roller Replacement After the roller has been selected from the table above, it must be installed in the metering unit.

NOTE: When replacing the roller, the seed tank should be empty.

1. Unscrew the end cover. 2. Pull out the roller together with the drive shaft. 3. Remove the snap ring and plain washer. 4. Pull out the drive shaft and install it in the new roller.

Axial play of the drive shaft in the roller is necessary so that the roller is self-cleaning when installed in the metering unit housing.

The rubber sealing strip must be checked for correct adjustment and the roller, for true running, each time the roller is replaced. Check Rubber Sealing Strip A defective or incorrectly adjusted sealing strip leads to metering errors when seeding.

1. The sealing strip must not be torn or damaged. Replace if necessary. 2. Mount the side cover and sealing strip on the metering unit housing. 3. The rubber sealing strip must sit closely against the roller. Readjust the seal if necessary.

Roller

Seal


Roller Replacement with Full Tank 1. Loosen and remove the wing screws on the side cover and drive motor and remove the

side cover and motor. 2. Remove snap ring and plain washer from the drive shaft. 3. Slip the new cellular roller on to the drive shaft, thus pushing the old roller out on the motor

side. 4. Remove the drive shaft from the old roller and install it in the new one; install the side

cover and motor and fasten it in place. (See picture below of new roller to left pushing old roller out.)

Roller for Small Seeds

The rollers for seeding small seeds comprise of the fluted discs, the spacers and the drive shaft.

In order to prevent malfunctions when seeding small seeds, the metering rollers are completely preassembled in the factory.

The rollers can be mounted with one or two fluted discs. If a roller is fitted with two fluted discs this doubles the discharge rate.

See Tables on next page.


Table 1: Standard Measuring Units Table 2: Metric Measuring Units

The fluted discs are available in 0.21in” and 0.61in” sizes for different discharge rates.

When seeding is in progress, only the fluted discs rotate in the roller. The spacers are inhibited by limit stops on the housing.

When installing or removing the rollers, the limit stops must be turned so that they are in line with the slots in the housing.

Assembly Instructions So that seeds cannot force their way between the fluted discs and the spacers, the fluted discs and spacers are installed free of play using shim washers.

Bearings are incorporated in the spacers.

Depending on the manufacturing tolerance, shim washers are inserted to prevent friction between the fluted discs and the spacers. See picture below for reference.


After all components have been assembled, the space remaining up to the lock washer is taken up by inserting shim washers. Then slip on the snap washers.

When the roller is correctly assembled, the fluted discs between the spacers can only just be freely rotated. The components must not rub against each other but, at the same time, there should be as little play as possible.

When checked against the light, the gap should only just be visible.

Functional Test After installation, the roller must be tested for proper operation and true running. For this, switch on the roller as described under ‘Torsion Test’.

The drive motor must run uniformly ‘true’. No sluggish points must be audible.

1. Remove bearing housing and determine if housing is distorted compared to the meter roller. If housing has a small gap in the front and the back of the meter, adjust the nuts on the stiffening rods on the bottom of the metering unit 1/4 - 1/2 turn until the meter roller can be removed and installed freely with very little resistance.

NOTE: The nuts on the very bottom of the stiffening rods are Nylock nuts. Do not adjust the nuts more than ½ turn when adjusting the housing.

2. If gap is on top and bottom of meter housing, turn the nuts so they move up on the stiffening rods until the meter roller is removed and installed with very little effort.


Canola Brushes The canola brushes clean the fluted discs in the roller for seeding small seeds. Prior to seeding small seeds, the rape brushes must be installed in the side cover and tested for correct operation. (See picture below.)

1. Check for true running and correct attachment. 2. Check condition and cleaning efficiency of the brushes. 3. Install the side cover on the metering unit in such a way that the brushes are on the inside. 4. The brushes must sit closely on the fluted discs and rotate with the roller.

IMPORTANT! Carry out regular checks on the operation and cleaning effect of the rape brushes before and during seeding. Clogged fluted discs lead to metering errors when seeding. Fewer seeds are distributed.

The rear cover with the canola brushes can also be removed when the seed tank is full. Clogged fluted discs can also be cleaned in the installed state.

The Canola brushes should be removed when seeding normal sized seeds. The screws must be reinserted in the drilled holes of the housing.

Calibrating the Seed Quantity Calibration is to be carried out with the machine lowered and firmly positioned.

IMPORTANT! Do not use any sticky seed dressings. These influence the metering accuracy. Check the seeds and tank for foreign materials/particles.

1. Close the emptying outlet and side cover. 2. Place the seeds in the tank. 3. Remove the hinged flap on the venturi and place a container underneath it. 4. Calibrate the seed (see Drill Manager). 5. Replace the hinged flap on the venturi. Check for tightness. 6. The canola brushes should be removed when sowing normal-sized seeds. The screws

must be reinserted in the drilled holes in the housing.

Brushes


Servicing the Meter Unit The metering unit does not require any specific maintenance. Clean and check the metering function and the hydraulic drive motor at the end of the season.

Door for Larger Seeds 1. There is a special seed door for seeding Garbanzo beans that has been modified to accept

3/16” stainless steel spacer to move the door away from the metering unit to reduce the drag and prevent motor overloads and jamming up of the meter roller in the metering unit. When adjusting the rubber flat down to allow for the larger seed sizes to pass by the rubber strip it may be necessary to slot the holes in the strip, or using a razor blade or utility knife cut a thin strip of rubber off the rubber strip to reduce the friction of the seeds trying to pass by the rubber strip. If you do cut some of the rubber off it may let smaller seeds slip by when seeding smaller grains such as wheat, barley, millet or similar type seeds. It is recommended that the customer have this special door available to be installed when seeding garbanzo beans or soybeans.

Stainless Steel spacer (left), special door (center), standard door (right)

2. Using a razor blade or utility knife you can slot the holes of the rubber strip so it can be

lowered away from the metering roller, allowing for larger seeds to easily pass by with little effort and reduce drag on the drive motor.


3. In this illustration of the metering unit you will see where the stainless steel spacers can be installed and the position to the door after installation. Several spacers can be installed if problems with motor overloads and jamming of the meter persist.

Lowering the rubber strip so the larger seeds can pass by without causing seed damage and motor overloads will improve operation. Lowering the strip too far may allow seeds to pass by when turning around on the end of the field. Check for this with the tank pressurized for seed bypass.

4. The metering unit is very accurate when adjustments are made correctly and the amps shown on the monitor head are not exceeding 7-9 amps. Erratic and uneven seed distribution may occur if motors do not run smoothly and at a steady RPM. Checking the motor revolutions when seeding is the best way to determine constant RPM’s.

ISO Bus System The HORSCH drill manager is an electronic control unit for seeders and their components. It regulates, monitors, and controls all connected modules.

The applicable accident prevention regulations and the other generally accepted rules in respect of safety and occupational medicine are to be complied with.

The ISO Bus is of modular design. There are several individual modules that connect to one main control module (ECU).

The ECU communicates with each module and sensor via a can bus system. It evaluates the information received.

Each bit of information will present a value. Each value will be displayed on the monitors Virtual Terminal (VT). The panel is interactive so each value presented for each module and sensor can be viewed and changed as necessary.

Further instructions and more in depth information of operation, calibration, monitoring and settings are available separately for the HORSCH ISO Bus System in the included operator’s manual.


Optional Equipment

Conveyor System Each tank can be filled separately by a hydraulic powered swiveling and pivoting filling conveyor system. The conveyor and hopper are mounted on the left hand side of the machine. The Filling system consists of a hopper, conveyor and an outlet chute.

The hydraulically driven conveyor system shares a power source with the fan of the air system. A two-way valve, located near the front left hand side by the controls and ladder, is used to switch over from fan to filling auger.


Operation 1. Open the seed tank lid on top of the machine.

2. Remove the safety pins (2) from the swivel/pivot mount and frame that lock the conveyor system in place for transport and storage use.

3. Switch the two-way valve over to auger mode. With the lever pushed down it is in field mode for operation of the fans of the air system. Pull the lever up for seed tank fill operation.

4. Using the yellow wireless handheld remote included with the unit, locate the upper right control switch and turn it from ‘OFF’ to ‘SPEED’, then ‘ON’. (See pictures below.)

To verify you are connected to the control module look at the face of the module and locate the 4 colored indicator lights. The two on the left will be green in color. The two on the right may be red until the wireless remote has connected to the module, and then all four lights will be green.

The remote will be used to power On/Off the drive motor and control the conveyor and hydraulic cylinders for conveyor positioning.


5. Swing the conveyor system out and away from the seed tank frame. Use caution, look for overhead power lines, equipment, and be sure to stand clear in case of failure.

To swing the conveyor out and away from the body of the tank, use a combination of buttons 3, 4, 5, & 6. Button 3 operates the inner most swing arm cylinder and pulls the arm in. Button 4 operates the inner most swing arm cylinder and moves the arm outward. Button 5 operates the outer swing arm cylinder and moves it outward. Button 6 operates the outer swing arm cylinder and pulls it back in.

6. Position the conveyor chute at the end of the unit over the top of the intended seed tank compartment.

To position the chute, lift the conveyor up using the remote. Button 7 lifts the conveyor up. While button 8 lowers the conveyor down.

7. Set the hopper in place on the ground. For added convenience, the hopper can be extended and retracted as needed to be positioned under a semi-trailer hopper.

CAUTION! Do NOT move the conveyor system once the hopper is on the ground and positioned as it may damage the hopper, caster wheels and guide rails.

To position the hopper, use the wireless remote. Button 9 will extend the hopper away from the conveyor. Button 10 retracts, or pulls the hopper in, back to the conveyor.

8. When the hopper and chute are positioned correctly, begin filling the seed tank(s).

To begin filling, use the wireless remote with the system. Buttons 1 & 2 will operate the start/stop and speed of the conveyor. Also, there is a separate emergency stop switch on the upper left of the remote. The switch can be turned to lock the system out of use and leave conveyor off for safety and ease of maintenance or service. You must be in run position so the left switch should be unlocked and the right switch ‘ON’. Using button 2, press and hold to start and increase speed of the conveyor. Holding the button will increase the rpm of the


drive motor and conveyor up to full speed. Press and hold button 1 to decrease speed and stop the conveyor.

9. When the tank is full disengage filling operation. Continue to next tank.

NOTE: Remember to retract the hopper first before repositioning the conveyor so as not to harm the hopper, caster wheels and guide rails!

10. When done with filling, retract the hopper back to its home position. Then swing the conveyor system back to its home position and install the safety (2) locking pins.

11. Turn ‘OFF’ the wireless remote and return it to the toolbox for storage until the next use. 12. Push the two-way control valve lever down to field operation mode.

NOTE: For more detailed information on installation and operation of the Conveyor System and Wireless Remote see the specific Conveyor Transmitter & Wireless Receiver Operator’s Manual provided with this option.


Fill Conveyor Wireless Control


Scale System The Seed Wagon 1000 can be fitted with an onboard scale system. This can be retrofitted later as well. The scale system consists of load cells (x4 per tank) and monitoring system. The load cells are weight indicating sensors. The load cells (#1) are mounted in place of the round steel tubing spacers between the frame and each seed tank. See picture below. (Steel tubing spacers not shown.)

Each seed tank is supported by stops and brackets. These allow the tank to be held in a floating type position.

Operation The load cells are connected via cable to a distributor box and in turn are linked to a display box/monitor in the tractor. The load cells sense weight for each of the four corners of the tank. The signal is sent out to the distribution box of the seed wagon and back to the monitor.

NOTE: For more detailed information on installation and operation of the Scale System see the specific Digi-Star Scale Link Operator’s Manual provided with the option.

#1 – Load


Rear Torpedo Tow Hitch (Single and Dual Hydraulic Winch options available)

A single or dual hydraulic winch Torpedo Hitch can be fitted to the rear of the SW 1000. This makes it possible to pull additional equipment behind the stationary positioned seed wagon such as anhydrous tanks, pickups/trucks, etc.

The Torpedo Hitch is available as hydraulic, 9,000 LB pull force. The hydraulic applications have a separate hydraulic control spool valve and lever for operation of the heavy duty aircraft grade steel cable for retracting and winding up the cable.

Simply remove the hitch pin with attached lanyard and cotter pin. Pull out the cable and attached drawbar and connect it to the hitch of the implement using a hitch pin and safety clevis pin.

Using the lever of the hydraulic control lever, retract the cable and watch it pull the implement hitch up to the drawbar of the Torpedo Hitch. Insert the hitch pin and cotter pin to the Torpedo Hitch.

Attach the safety chains to secure the implement to the hitch and the rear of your seed wagon.

Repeat procedure for Dual Torpedo Hitch configuration. (Dual Torpedo Hitch has a double hydraulic spool valve for individual operation of each winch.)

For further information including complete instructions and operation refer to the Torpedo Hitch Operator’s Manual.

All tracks have been adjusted at the factory; however, as the tracks wear or should adjustments be required, they may need to be realigned.

Checking Alignment

While operating the seed wagon, it is normal for the tracks to move from side to side due to turning, crowns on a road, etc. To check alignment of a track, pull the seed wagon for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) on a relatively smooth flat surface and then check the inner guide lug temperature on both sides for each track. If one side is significantly hotter than the other, the track may be riding to the warmer side excessively. (HINT: An electronic non-contact handheld laser sighting temperature gun works great!)

Normal Wear: It is normal for a track to show wear on the guide lugs during break in and normal operation, especially during the first 15 hours of operation. It is normal at this time to see chunking of the guide lugs. The track will always wear on both sides but may favor one side more than the other. This is completely normal.

General Adjustment Steps: 1. Ensure the track undercarriages are properly aligned – this will account for the majority of

the alignment. 2. Align front track idler wheels – this step will only provide minor adjustments.

For Track Alignment:

1. Loosen the jam nut – front and back left side. (See FIGURE 4-1, following page.)

Begin Alignment with the left side.

2. Measure the distance from the seed wagon frame to the track frame, front and back as shown. (See D1 & D2 of FIGURE 4-2, following page.)

3. Adjust the turnbuckles so the front distance (D1) is the same as the back distance (D2), frame to frame.

4. Tighten the jam nuts. 5. Repeat the procedure for the right side.


NOTE: Turnbuckles should be adjusted such that they are always in tension. If one turnbuckle is made to push, while the opposite pulls, the track will misalign significantly after the seed wagon has moved. Once the desired position of the track has been achieved, ensure both turnbuckles are in equal tension.

Track Wheel Alignment NOTE: Wheel alignment is the final step in aligning the tracks and provides only minor adjustments. The majority of the alignment is done with the undercarriage as described in the previous step.

1. Park the seed wagon on a hard level and uniform surface before performing checks or adjustments to the track unit.

2. If adjustment is needed, detention the tracks. (See Track Tensioning & Detentioning.) 3. Loosen setscrew on both inner and outer alignment bolts. (See picture below on following

page.)


4. Back the alignment bolt out of the side that is wearing excessively first. Make adjustments in 1 turn increments. (See diagram below.)

5. Tighten opposite adjustment bolt, forcing alignment arm to move until it contacts the opposite alignment bolt. The bolt should be secure and tight.

6. Make sure both alignment bolts are tight and retighten the setscrews. 7. Check alignment. Pull the seed wagon for approximately 1 mile and check for heat on the

inside of the lugs. If one side is warmer than the other, the tracks are still rubbing. Repeat alignment procedure until the guide lugs are relatively similar in temperature.

Maximizing Track Life Roading of tracks can increase tread wear up to 15 times the field wear rates. Excessive roading can greatly reduce tread bar life. In addition, track carcasses are designed to exceed thread wear out, so long as the integrity of the carcass is maintained. It is critical to keep moisture out of the steel carcass and to avoid situations where localized cable overloading could occur. It is recommended that track machine owners follow the listed points below in order to achieve maximum track life and avoid operational problems, all of which will result in lower cost per hour of operation.


• Maintain correct track tension: o Too low of tension will cause more rapid wear on the wheels and the inside surface

of the belt due to slippage and potentially cause material buildup. o Too high of tension will add additional load and stress to the undercarriage

bearings, internal track cables and track frame. • Keep irregular material out of the track:

o Sharp, hard material such as rocks inside the track is the primary reason for localized track tears and subsequent entry points for moisture.

• Use care when crossing ditches or transitions while making turns: o Diagonal crossing of ditches causes the track to become unsupported in the center

and in combination with the idler hitting the opposite embankment, can cause momentary loss of tension, making derailing a much higher risk if in a turn.

• Using correct operational techniques (minimize skidding on hard surfaces, etc.): o Tread bar scrubbing on hard surfaces can also increase tread wear – avoid or

minimize spot turns.


Track Tensioning & Detensioning Track tension is accomplished by a hydraulic over accumulator system that applies pressure to the track tensioning cylinder. The accumulator contains a nitrogen precharge that expands and contracts during operation maintain pressure and cushioning effect.

NOTE: See Safety section for proper procedure in checking for hydraulic leaks.

Tensioning 1. Close the track tensioning valve (handle facing upwards) located on the left side of the

machine to the inside of the seed wagons main frame. (See picture below.)

Track Tension Pressure Gauge

Track Tension Valve


2. Start the tractor and place the Track Tensioning circuit in to continuous flow in the down position.

3. Slowly open the track tensioning valve to raise the pressure, (1500 psi). 4. Once the correct pressure has been obtained, close the valve completely and shut off the

tractor hydraulic circuit. 5. Drive the seed wagon forward approximately 200 ft. (60 m) and recheck the pressure to

ensure it is still correct. Repeat steps 1-4 if additional adjustment is required.

NOTE: Track tension may drop somewhat after assembly due to air escaping from the system. Re-tension as necessary.

Detensioning 1. Start the tractor and place Pressure Line hydraulic circuit in to float position. 2. Open track tensioning valve to relieve pressure. It may take up to 5 minutes for tracks to

fully detention and pressure to reach zero. 3. Close valve and shut off the tractor.

Tightening Hardware NOTE: Check the torque and tightness of ALL bolts, U-bolts, screws and nuts after the first 10-15 hours of operation, and again at the end of the first week (50 hours) of operation. Torque ALL hardware to the specified torque specifications listed in the service section unless otherwise noted.

Torque wheel nuts to 365 ft.-lbs. for 3/4" wheel nuts and 175 ft.-lbs. for 5/8" wheel nuts. Torque wheel nuts prior to initial usage. Check torque again after first load or after first hour of usage Improper wheel torque is NOT covered under warranty.

Torque Track Axle End Plate Bolts (3/4" x 2 1/2" UNF) 365 ft. lbs. (14 per side) after first three loads.

Check tightness of all hardware periodically, giving special attention to the axle mounting bolts of the track system to the frame. This hardware must be kept torqued properly to the listed specification to prevent machine damage.

Rear Axle Mounting Size Dry Torque 1” 550 lb.-ft.

Check track system bogie wheels, idler wheels, all wheel hardware and hub bearings during the first week of operation, and annually afterwards or as needed. The bearings can be inspected and adjusted as needed by removing the hub cap and cotter pin. Tighten the nut by turning it so the nut and hole in the shaft lines up on the next slot. Insert cotter pin. Replace the hub cap.

Torque the wheel hardware using the following procedure:


IMPORTANT! Wheel bolts MUST be clean and oil-free when torqueing. Torque values specified in the following steps are for clean, dry wheel bolts. Lubricating oil reduces friction and thread bit to overload bolts.

Use the tightening sequence shown. Use a crisscross pattern to evenly pull the wheel tight to the hub. See picture below.

NOTE: Items with (*) indicate torque in Inch/Pounds. All others in Foot/Pounds.

Do not use these values if a different torque value or tightening procedure is given for a specific application. Torque values listed are for general use only. Check tightness of fasteners periodically.


Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with identical property class.

Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher property class. If higher property class fasteners are used, these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.

Make sure fastener threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. This will prevent them from failing when tightening.

Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 50 percent of the dry torque shown in the chart, applied to the nut, not to the bolt head. Tighten toothed and serrated-type lock nuts to the full torque value.

Metric Conversions Table Convert from Standard to Metric – multiply by the following factors:


Machine Storage Preparation In order to ensure that the machine is always in operational condition and to achieve optimum performance, perform the cleaning and servicing work at regular intervals.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean the electrical components and the packaging on the hydraulic cylinders and bearings with a high pressure hose or a direct water spray. The housing, screwed connection and all bearings are not watertight.

• Clean the machine on the outside with water. • Remove the hinged flap under the venturi so that water flowing in the seed tanks can escape. • Clean the inlet filter in the seed tank. • Empty tanks and clean out caked deposits. • Clean the roller in the metering unit with a narrow brush. • Purge the openers, seed tubes, seed tanks, metering unit and fan with compressed air. • Drying takes time since moisture trapped in areas is slow to drain or evaporate. • It is recommended that all motors are removed and stored inside away from the elements when

not in use.

Removal

• Check inside of the tanks and remove any obstructions.

• Check the track system for alignment and pressure.

• Clean machine thoroughly. • Perform required lubrication.

o Lubricate roller chain on the conveyor extendable hopper. Use a heavy duty industrial chain lube spray, coat entire chain. It is best recommended to lubricate before season operation and before long term storage.

• Check all hardware and torque each as needed. • Loosen the tank lid sealing bolts to reduce pressure and not damage the seals when not in

operation and before long term storage. • Review the Owner’s operator manual for the machine and each optional equipment in its entirety,

giving special attention to all safety guidelines.


Maintenance Apart from the maintenance to be carried out each day, the maintenance schedules are based on the number of operating hours and time data.

Keep a record of your operating hours to ensure that the specified maintenance intervals are adhered to as closely as possible.

Never use a machine that is due for maintenance. Ensure that all deficiencies found during regular checks are remedied immediately.

Prevent Hydraulic System Contamination Cleanliness is very important when working on the hydraulic system. Prevent contamination by assembling the cylinders, hoses, couplers and valves in a clean environment.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) EMI can disrupt or overload the communication circuits of the monitor system causing the erratic display activity, and in severe cases a complete system shutdown and/or failure.

Phantom displays, such as meter RPM or ground speed when the machine is stationary, can be the result of system ‘noise’, or EMI.

Common causes of EMI:

• Operating close to high tension wires/power lines and broadcast towers. • Noisy power supply. • Monitor too close to radio antenna. • Old radio cables used. • Poor system ground. • Monitor power not directly connected to battery. • Radio power not directly connected to battery. • Monitor wiring too close to controller with standard system cables.

Check causes of EMI and take corrective measures to overcome the problem(s).

Faults & Remedies General Information Servicing Do not wash the components of the drill control system (modules, sensors) with high pressure hoses.

Repairs and Welding Work Prior to performing any repairs on the machine, particularly machines outfitted with electronic control equipment and modules, the main switch should be turned off and the power supply disconnected. Induction voltages can destroy electronic components. These components can also become damaged when performing welding work on the machine. Disconnect the components from the machine prior to service. When arc welding, connect the ground cable and clamp as close as possible to the weld point and ensure a good ground connection.

Electromagnetic Waves Electronic control modules contain components which can react sensitively to electromagnetic waves. The use of radio equipment/mobile phones near the computer can cause disturbances.

Electrostatic Charging Under certain conditions; intense dust development, a specific soil composition, and a humidity of less than approximately 45%, components can become electrostatically charged and cause faults in an electronic control system when discharging.

To prevent these faults, connect all components in the air flow, fan, venturi pipe, motor seed tower and metering unit, to the frame. This connection must be electrically conductive and can be established by means of earth cables or by scratching off the paint under the bolts or screws and attaching wires there. In addition, shielded cables can be installed.

If problems arise and persist with the electronic control system that you cannot identify, proceed as follows:

• Check the list of components in the computer for completeness and compare this with the list of components in the operating instructions.

• Check all values entered in the menu of the control monitor. • Check all plugs and plug-in connectors. • Check and ensure individual sensors are working properly. Speed sensors – LED on the

sensor is flashing. Low-Level Indicator – interrupt the beam of light with your hand. The bin indicator must change. Seed Flow Sensor – bypass the corresponding sensors.

• Check the earth ground connections of the components and the cables or wires up to the tractor. Connect the components with the machines and the machines themselves with the tractor by means of additional cables.

For issues with any electronic control system relating to the seed wagon scale or seed flow or other monitoring devices, see the product specific manual included for that option.
