• Mounting category: 2, 3N and 3
• Tractor pump capacity: 20 l/min + optional hydraulic fan 30 l/min
• Connections: depending on the implement equipment, the following connections are required:
                                                                                                            3   4
    • SA: track marker (for Precea 6000: DA), filling auger, fan drive(pressure line with priority)
    • DA: frame ballasting (1), telescoping the frame, pressureless return flow (max. 5 bar): fan drive
• Coupling the implement: establish all connections: ISOBUS, lighting, hydraulic system, PTO
  shaft. Take up and secure the machine with the lower links. Raise the jacks. Align the implement on
  the field parallel to the ground, the track marker bracket (2) provides a reference for this. The catch   5
  roller should be hard to turn by hand (depending on the soil), but it should not bend.
• Telescoping or folding the implement: after driving on the road, the implement is in road mode.
  To switch to field mode, actuate the button (3).
    • Telescoping: release the transport lock and telescope the implement out until the implement
                                                                                                            6
       sections have reached the end position.
    • Folding: release the transport lock and unfold the implement. After the implement sections
       have reached the end position, actuate the control unit for another 5 seconds to fill the
       hydraulic accumulators.
    With the Comfort hydraulic system, telescoping or folding via the ISOBUS terminal (5) or the
    ComfortClick (6) must be pre-selected.

6. Calibration of the fertiliser metering
•    General: turn the calibration trough (1). Set the         1   2   3
     calibration flap lever to the down position (2).
•    Electrical drive: Field menu > Calibration > Fertiliser
     (3): check the values and change if necessary (4,5),
     pre-meter (6). Calibrate with the calibration button or
     TwinTerminal (2). Weigh the quantity and enter the
     value on the terminal.
•    Mechanical drive: set the gearbox to position 50 (7).
     Depending on the working width and the desired            4   5   6
     calibration area, read the number of crank turns from
     the table (8). Turn the crank, multiply the weighed
     value with 40 or 100, determine the new gearbox
     position with the calculator disc (9).

                                                               7   8   9

7. Implement settings
•    (1) Frame ballasting: up to 600 kg can be transferred from the tractor to the           1               2
     implement. This allows the coulters to run more smoothly and the placement
     accuracy is improved. The higher the top link is attached to the tractor, the
     better the pressure transmission. Actuate the tractor control unit and set the
     desired pressure (between 130 and 160 bar), taking the soil properties into
     consideration. The pressure is shown on a pressure gauge.
•    (2) Tractor wheel mark eradicator: release the linch pin and adjust the
     working depth. A wing coulter, narrow coulter or heart-shaped coulter can be
     used, depending on the area of application.
•    Fan speed: depending on the equipment, set the oil quantity on the tractor                          5
     control unit (take account of the hydraulic oil temperature) or the PTO shaft
     speed (max. fan speed 5000 rpm)                                                                 3
     As a start value for beets, rapeseed or sunflowers: 35+5 mbar, for maize or
     soya: 45+5 mbar, make settings when the singling disc is filled and adjust if
     necessary. The positive pressure is shown on a pressure gauge or on the
     ISOBUS terminal.
                                                                                                 4
•    Placement spacing (mechanical drive): to set the placement spacing, two                                     6
     gear wheels (3,4) are changed. Different gear wheels (5) are available for this. If
     the spread rate cannot be reached, the gear wheel (6) can be changed on the             7               8
     leading drive wheel. The table (7) shows which gear wheel pair results in which
     placement spacing. The table varies depending on whether a leading or trailing
     drive wheel is installed, and is only valid for the specified pulses/100m.
•    (8) Row spacing (only with variably telescopic frame): telescope the frame
     completely in and briefly telescope it out again (pull on the pull rope), so that the
     linch pins are without pressure. Insert the linch pin for the desired row spacing.
     Telescope the frame back out again.

7. Implement settings
•    (1) Track marker: release the transport lock, adjust the track marker        1   2
     depending on the working width. Adjust the pitch of the disc depending
     on the soil type.
•    Fertiliser placement depth: the lateral distance of the fertiliser coulter
     from the seeding coulter is 60 mm and cannot be adjusted.
     •    (2) Leaf spring overload safety: the depth can be adjusted from
          3-12 cm. Loosen the locking bolts and adjust the placement depth.
     •    (3) Coupled overload safety: the depth can be adjusted in 5 stages.
          Insert the pin in the desired position.                                 3   4

•    (4) Seeding coulter pressure: set the desired coulter pressure using
     the setting lever. Use less coulter pressure on light soils, and more on
     heavy soils. More pressure can be set in the tractor track if necessary.
     This setting also affects the placement depth.
•    (5,6) Clod and stone clearer: pull out the linch pin and adjust the
     working depth. The clearers should remove clods and plant residues,
     but may not form a furrow. The tip of the clod clearer (5) can be            5   6
     adjusted separately, it may not work deeper than the seeding coulter.

•    (2) Shutter: set according to the seed type, see table on page 12.
     Only open far enough so that there is enough seed in front of the
     singling disc.
•    (3) Singling disc: for the different seed types, there are suitable
     singling discs with the corresponding number of holes and hole
     diameter, see "Installing the singling disc" in the operating
     manual. To replace the disc, remove the cover and release the           3   4
     fastener. For every disc, there is a suitable ejector wheel that also
     needs to be changed.
•    (4) Seed placement depth: adjust using the setting lever. Half-
     steps are possible by setting the lever at an incline. The seed
     placement depth depends on the soil type, coulter pressure and
     working speed, amongst other things, and can only be determined
     during field operation.
•    (5) Disc closer: adjust the disc closers using the setting lever. In    5   6
     Position A, the disc closer is deactivated.
•    (6) V press rollers: the roller closes the seed furrow. The pitch,
     spacing and pressure can be adjusted. In addition, the rollers can
     be arranged offset to one another.

9. Preparation for the Task Controller in the implement software
•    Terminal: the functions of the Task Controllers are controlled through   1   2
     the terminal. The terminal must be prepared accordingly. You can
     find more information in the operating manual for the respective
     terminal.
•    (1) Geometry: Setting menu > Implement > Geometry Here, the
     implement geometry can be checked and adjusted. The implement
     logs onto the Task Controller with this geometry.
•    (2) Switch-on and -off time: Settings menu > Products >
     Seed/Fertiliser The switch-on and -off time defines the delay between    3   4
     the command from the terminal to switch the part-width sections on
     or off until the drives actually react. Incorrect settings can cause
     overlaps or gaps.
•    (3,4) Application maps / jobs: the "TC" icon in the Work menu and
     Product menu indicates that the implement is receiving the target
     spread rates from the Task Controller and is therefore receiving an
     application map or job.
•    (5) GPS recording: Setting menu > Implement > Additional functions
     With the GPS recording, the spreading can be simulated for the           5
     connected control terminal without actually spreading seed. The
     control terminal marks the driven area as the worked area. The
     worked area can be used to create a field boundary.
