4. Adjustment / Operation
4.14 Work Instructions
4.14.1 Driving speed
In work the Centurion can be driven at
speeds of up to 12 km/h. This depends on
the field conditions (type of soil, surface
trash, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are
difficult or a firmer finish is required.
4.14.2 Turning
Before turning in work, at
headlands for instance, all the
ground
engaging elements
(cultivation section / row units)
should be lifted out of work while
driving, allowing the machine to
turn on the packer wheels. These
elements should only be lowered
back into work once the turn has
been completed. Depending which
work mode is set on the control
panel, the elements will either
lift and lower in sequence or lift
together and lower in sequence.
4.14.3 Wing Pressure
Wing down pressure is controlled
automatically. The pressure is shown on
the upper gauge at the front of the drill.
4.15 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary
servicing and to lubricate the machine as
required.
Checks prior to, and during
work:
„ Is the machine correctly hitched up
and the coupling device locked?
„ Is the machine in a level operating
position and the working depth set
correctly?
Working Elements
„ Are the discs and other cultivation
tools in a serviceable condition?
„ Are the scrapers still operable, so that
the coulters do not jam?
