OPERATION SAFETY

Your Safety Is Always First! Familiarize yourself with the safety symbols and de-cals on pages 3 and 4.

All operators should read and understand the following sections of this manualprior to adjusting, maintaining, hitching to, or operating the SEEDA-vator: OPERATION SAFETY, OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS, PRE-OPERATION CHECKS, MAINTENANCE SAFETY, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

In addition, remove and read the drive line safety and maintenance manual taped to the drive line shield. After reading the drive line manual, place it inside this manual for reference.

For the safety and instruction of all operators, keep this manual stored in the tube pro-vided on the SEEDA-vator at all times.

Never attempt to adjust, maintain, or remove debris from this machine while the trac-tor engine is running.

After operating, always disengage the power take off and switch the engine off prior to dismounting from the tractor or other power source and approaching the unit.

Prior to starting, always inspect operating area for any hazards such as large rocks, steep slopes, low tree branches or wires. Flag objects difficult to see such as irriga-tion heads and water meters.

Instruct all people in the work area to stay clear of the unit.

Perform all pre-operation checks (page 10) prior to start up.

Never engage the power take off while the rotors are off the ground. Always disen-gage the power take off before lifting the unit. High-speed rotors create a flying ob-ject hazard when they are lowered to the ground.

Consult your tractor Operator's Manual regarding operation on slopes. Do not lift the unit while the tractor is moving (or parked) sideways on slopes above 5 . The swing hitch may allow the unit to swing to the downhill side and cause the tractor to roll over. On slopes from 5 to 15 always aim the tractor uphill before lifting the unit. We do not recommend the unit being used on slopes above 15 .

Use extreme care and maintain moderate ground speed when transporting or operat-ing on slopes, over rough surfaces, or close to trees ditches and fences.

Only operate during daylight hours or with good artificial light.

The unit is not equipped for highway use. Be careful of traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS - General

The SE-60 SEEDA-vator is designed to attach to a tractor with a category one three point hitch, 540 PTO, and a minimum of 30 horsepower. However, the tractor must have a lift capacity of 1950 lbs. at a distance of 24” to the rear of the lower lift points to handle the unit loaded with 6.7 cu. ft. of 40#/cu. ft. seed.

Before hitching to the unit familiarize yourself with all of the tractors control func-tions. Be prepared to stop the tractor movement, PTO operation, and the engine quickly in an emergency.

How The Swing Hitch Operates (Prior To Hitching To Tractor)

With the swing stand lowered and the swing mast rearward to disengage the swing lock, grasp the hitch pins and rotate the “A” frame to simulate operation in a sharp turn. Re-lease the hitch pins and slowly pull the swing mast forward as it would be pulled by the top link during lifting. Notice how one mast chain tightens causing the “A” frame and unit to realign as the compressed lock link spring engages the swing lock. Now push the swing mast rearward against the lock link tab to disengage the swing lock and loosen the chains to allow sharp turns again. This demonstrates how the top link of the tractor lift system switches the unit between the trail and lift modes.

Figure 1. Swing Hitch Operation

7

Adjusting The Hitch To A Tractor (See Fig. 1 - Tractor and Unit on flat, hard surface with swing stand down and roller in float position). A category 1 hitch tractor is required with the lower links stabilized. With the unit swing stand lowered connect the lower lift links to the “A” Frame Hitch Pins and top link to the swing mast with the tractor end in the top hole. Push the lift control lever on the tractor to the completely lowered position. Lengthen the adjustable top link until the swing mast closes tight against the “A” Frame and the swing stand is lifted just clear of the ground. This causes the combined weight of the unit and the tractor hitch components to be trans-ferred to the tines. This extended top link also causes the unit to tilt backwards when lift-ing allowing gravity to assist the mast chains in aligning the unit with the tractor.

Tine Depth With Roller FloatingWith the roller in the float position, the tine depth is dependent on the relationship of forward speed to PTO speed. [Tine depth is increased by lowering the forward speed and/or increasing PTO (engine) speed.] The tines would usually penetrate 2” to 3 ½” deep which causes more surface tillage than shallower tine depths. This arrangement would most likely be used when seeding in existing turf or hard crusty bare soils. Since the seed drops ahead of the tines, very few are buried too deep.

Tine Depth With Roller PinnedWith the roller pinned in various fixed positions, the tine depth is more precisely con-trolled as shown in Figure 2. Extending the top link longer, which tilts the unit back-wards, can reduce the actual tine depth in each pinned position. An advantage of tilting backwards is that gravity assists the mast chains in aligning the unit with the tractor dur-ing lifting. A pinned roller arrangement is usually used on soft bare soils where deep tines running would cover the surrounding seed too deep.

Figure 2. Roller & Tine Depth Relationship

8

Transporting The Unit As previously stated, an extended top link to tilt the unit backwards helps to align it with the tractor during lifting. However, the backward tilt increases the potential for damage to the unit on trailer ramps. To avoid damage without having to change the length of the top link, move the tractor end of the top link from the top hole to the bottom hole. This will tilt the unit forward for more clearance when lifted. Not changing the top link length will save time at the next job site. On steep ramps it may also require the roller to be pinned in the highest position for more clearance.

From Lift Position To OperatingWhen lowering for operation, lower slowly until the tines touch the ground. Then swiftly push the lift control lever on the tractor to the completely lowered position to instantly unlock the hitch. This is especially true when lowering the unit in a sharp turn. Failure to do this may cause the swing hitch not to unlock, resulting in damage to the machine and/or turf damage. In the event the unit should fail to unlock for trail mode, stop the tractor and repeat the lowering procedure.

From Operating To Lift Position

WARNING: When operating diagonally downhill or transversely (sideways) on a hillside slope above 5 the mast chains will not swing the unit uphill to center and lock on the tractor when the unit is lifted. Occasionally the unit will swing farther to the downhill side of the tractor creating the hazard of tractor roll over. If the tractor ever seems unstable, immediately lower the hitch and steer the tractor uphill or on a more level surface where it will center and lock when lifted.

Do Not Operate In ReverseDo not back the tractor up with the unit touching the ground. Always disengage the PTO, raise the unit, back to desired location and then lower the machine and engage the PTO.

Roller Scraper Usage Generally the roller scrapers are only used when the ground does not have rocks, roots, construction debris, etc that would clog and stop the rollers from turning.

Tine Wear LimitReplace tines before the hex shoulder wears down to the extent the 15/16 deep tine socket will not grip for removal.

Trial RunThe geometry of tractor lift linkages varies, and a trial run over uneven ground is recom-mended. Ideally the swing lock will not engage when operating over the crown of a hill and the tractor hitch is always free to float upward at all times. The tines should clear curbs etc., when lifted. Refer to the pre-operation checklist prior to trial run.

The Gandy Seeder is equipped with a ground or electric driven fluted rotor that feeds seed to a precision mated stainless hopper bottom and slide with adjustable holes at each of the 22 outlet spouts.

Seed Flow Control The flow rate is controlled by a cam gauge that varies the size of the adjustable holes.

The seed flow is instantly turned off or on by closing and opening the hopper bottom holes with the control handle on the right front of the hopper. NOTE: Fragile seeds may be damaged if the electric or ground drive continues to turn the fluted rotor for very long with the flow turned off.

The flow is gradually stopped or started by stopping or starting the rotation of the fluted rotor while leaving the control handle in the open position. When the rotor is stopped, the seed con-tained in the fluted rotor section above the adjustable holes will flow until the section is emptied. When the rotor starts again, the seed won’t flow until the next fluted rotor section with seed ro-tates over the adjustable holes.

Seeder Drive Control On electric drive units the flow control rotor is stopped and started with a remote control switch at the tractor seat. On ground drive units (in conjunction with the roller) the fluted rotor stops when the SEEDA-vator is lifted and starts when it is lowered. Also, the roller drive is provided with a clutch for stopping the fluted rotor to allow tillage without seeding. Read decal on shield at right end of roller (see page 29, item 24).

Figure 3. Seeder

10

Emptying The HopperWith the control lever and cam wide open, rotate the fluted rotor and catch the seed in the calibration trough or on a plastic sheet. On ground driven hoppers, disengage roller clutch(see page 29, item 24) then turn fluted rotor with a 5/8” socket, extension, and wrench on left end of hopper.

Unclogging Seed TubesRemove the hairpin cotters holding the clogged tube and the tubes on either side then feed the clogged tube up through the framework. Only remove the seed deflector for ac-cess to the four tubes beneath the gearbox mount. (Refer to routine maintenance section regarding more extensive cleaning).

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST(With the SEEDA-vator lowered and the tractor engine switched off...)

Replace any safety decals that are not legible. Be sure that the implement is hitched to the tractor properly with all pins in place. Pin the swing stand in the up position (see Fig. 1).

WARNING: Be sure the driveline is correctly assembled. (The end stenciled as the tractor end is connected to the tractor and not to the SEEDA-vator). Check to see that the end yokes are locked to the tractor PTO and gearbox shafts. Drive shields must turn freely on the driveline. See that all shields are correctly installed. Remove any items from seed hopper that would damage rotors or clog seed tubes. Remove any debris caught in the rotors. Check gearbox oil level before first operation and every 200 hours of operation thereafter. (Refer to routine maintenance section.)

MAINTENANCE SAFETYNever attempt to clean, adjust, lubricate or perform any maintenance on the SEEDA-vator while the tractor engine is running.SAFETY BLOCKS should be used to support the SEEDA-vator when in the raised position during service. Lower the swing stand when unhitching from the tractor. When installing tines, performing any rotor shaft service, or removing debris from the rotors, ensure that the rotor shaft does not rotate because a serious pinch injury could occur.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCECheck gearbox oil level before first operation and every 200 hours of operation thereafter. With frame level, remove oil level plug on front left side of gearbox using 5/16” allen wrench. If required, add 90w-gear oil through level plug until it appears at level plug. Re-place plug securely.

11

Grease drive line parts after the number hours use as shown in the above illustration.

The hitch flex joints at the top of the “A” frame and above the gearbox (see page 19) should be lubricated before first operation and weekly thereafter.

After the first two hours of operation tighten all tines to 210-ft. lbs. Check for loose tines daily.

When replacing lost or worn tines use the 15/16” extra deep socket furnished in the extra tine bag (additional sockets are available. Order # AE60T003).

CHECK BELT TENSION after 4 hrs. of operation and every 40 hrs. thereafter. Also, tighten belts if shaft hesitation is noticed during operation. Refer to decal on end of seed hopper. Be sure to re-install belt shield after servicing. Use the applicable parts break down illustration pp.19-34 for maintenance, removal, and as-sembly instructions. The SEEDA-vator shaft and rotor bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated requiring no routine maintenance. Inside the hopper place a few drops of light oil weekly between the ends of the fluted roller and the plastic bearings. Do not over oil. NEVER apply oil or spray lubricant to hopper bottom or slide. Extensive cleaning of the seeder hopper bottom, slide and spout plate (Fig. 3) A. Remove the seed deflector and all of the seed tubes. B. Remove the Trash Shield. C. Remove spout plate retaining clips, cam gauge, and spout plate assembly. D. Carefully note how the slide supports assemble to the hopper bottom and how they are

shifted endwise to control the clearance between the slide and hopper bottom. The clear-ance is set at the factory and fixed with self-tapping screws into the hopper bottom. After removing the screws, nuts, and plastic washers, the slide supports shift to the left to re-move the slide.

E. Clean all components and wipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply oil or spray lubricants. F. Re-assemble components in reverse order.

CAUTIONBE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS ARE INSTALLED PRIOR TO RETURNING THIS MACHINE TO SERVICE.

Rotor Shaft Disassembly 1. Remove the 1-1/8" hex jam nut from the shaft end nearest to the damaged component.

2. Only remove the rotors and spacers required to reach the damaged component. Wipe the shaft clean before each rotor is removed. Each rotor bearing has two separate cones with a hex bore adapter pressed in each. Each cone is held in position by an internal grease seal, which allows the cones to be moved apart slightly. When they are moved apart any dirt allowed inside the hex adapters can fall between the cones and contaminate the bearing. If the cones are forced apart the internal seals become ruined and irreplaceable.

3. Clean and inspect parts as they are removed and set aside in their order of removal to simplify re-assembly.

Rotor Hub Disassembly

1. With a pry bar remove the external seals (Figure 7) on both sides. Generally, seals are damaged and are not reused.

Rotor Hub Re-Assembly (keep all components clean to prevent bearing contamination)

1. Install internal snap ring in one side of rotor hub. Be sure snap rings expand full depth into grooves.

2. Press new bearing and adapter assembly down tight against snap ring as shown in Fig. 8. If bearing is loose in hub the rotor should be replaced. 3. Install snap ring in other end. 4. Apply a ribbon of general-purpose grease between the snap ring ID and bearing adapter OD

on both ends of the rotor hub.5. With the press tool inverted to fit the external seals, press the seals in both ends of the rotor

with the lips out. Wipe off excess grease. Be sure seals are not bent or cut and are seated firmly. If the seals are not tight, use a hammer and punch to stake the hub faces at about 90 intervals.

Rotor Shaft Re-Assembly (Read this section thoroughly before beginning)

CAUTION: IF THE BEARING ADAPTERS ARE NOT PRECISELY TIMED 180 DEGREES APART IN EACH ROTOR AND ALIGNED BETWEEN ROTORS, SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT.

1. Rotate the adapters in each rotor sothe timing marks (See Figures 9, 10 & 11) are phased 180 degrees apart with hex bores aligned.

2. Use marker pen to assist with aligning timing marks between rotors. Mark two rotor shaft flats 180 degrees apart next to the threaded end (See Figure 10). The marked flats would have to align with the timing marks on any rotors not removed during servicing.

Figure 8.

15

Figure 11. Rotor Shaft Assembly

3. Install the required components in the sequence shown in Figure 11, double checking the timing mark locations and spacer lengths (see following table) as each rotor is installed.

SPACER LENGTH PART NO. A 3 51/64” AE24-027 B 7 1/4” AE24-011 C 3 9/16” AE24-028 D 3 19/64” AE24-029

CAUTION: CLEAN THE ROTOR SHAFT THOROUGHLY REMOVING ANY BURRS THAT WOULD KEEP THE ROTOR ASSEMBLIES FROM SLIDING ON FREELY. IF A BEARING ADAPTER JAMS, THE INTERNAL BEARING SEAL COULD BE FORCED OUT AND IT IS NOT REPLACEABLE.

Figure 10.

16

NOTE: THE SPACERS MUST BE FULLY SEATED IN EACH ADAPTER COUNTERBORE BEFORE TIGHTENING. DO NOT FORGET TO PLACE THE BEARING STAMPINGS ON EACH OF THE SHAFT BEARINGS DURING REASSEMBLY. ALSO, THE 3/8" CARRIAGE BOLTS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE BEARING STAMPINGS ON THE DRIVE END OF THE SHAFT BEFORE THE PULLEY IS REPLACED.

4. Replace the 1-1/8" hex jam nut and rotate each rotor occasionally as the nut is torqued to 350 ft-lbs. If any rotor locks up, the bearing adapters in the rotor are probably not phased 180 degrees apart or the spacers are not fully seated.

Rotor Shaft Installation (with 2000 lb. rated hoist connected to mast chains)

1. Roll Rotor Shaft Assembly into position under frame bearing holes with pulley on drive end.

2. Carefully lower unit in small increments while keeping both bearing flanges on the side of the frame end plates and center bearing support as illustrated. Note that the center bearing sup-port is loose against the frame and can be tilted for alignment. Never assemble with the bearing flanges separated around a Frame End or the Center Bearing Support.

3. Note that as the frame ends and center bearing support are carefully lowered down beside each pair of bearing flanges it is necessary to push the unit away from the pulley end. This allows the frame end to pass the carriage bolts sticking through both bearing flanges next to the pulley.

4. When the frame ends align with the carriage bolt holes and the bearing flanges, pull the unit toward the pulley end to assemble nuts on carriage bolts.

5. Install bolts and nuts in center bearing support and other end plate being careful to align car-riage bolt shoulders with the square holes in bearing flanges (hand tighten).

6. Lift unit until Rotor Shaft is approximately 20” off the floor (See Fig. 5).

7. Place Jack Stands under the Rotor Shaft Assembly for added safety. As during Shaft re-moval, locate stands between the 1st and 2nd rotors from each end and lower unit until Rotor Shaft contacts both stands. Keep hoist connected to mast chains with slight tension.

8. Tighten all bearing flange bolts 30-35 Ft-Lbs.

9. Tighten 3 bolts connecting center bearing support to frame 50-55 Ft. Lbs.

Figure 12. Rotor Shaft Re-assembly
