3.5 BLOWER DRIVE
3.5.1 POWER TAKE-OFF RPM
The blower pump is enabled by the tractor power take-off. It is
important that the rpm indicated are respected. If the minimum
rpm is not reached the machine could lose distribution precision
and where there are large quantities of seeds, the granulate
pipes could get clogged.
Driving a vehicle with a 540 rpm propulsion, with a power take-
off of 1000 rpm and an engine rpm correspondingly low is not
permitted. Danger of blower pump breakage. During
distribution do not let the power take-off rpm drop too low.
Modern tractors are equipped with two power take off
supplementary working devices, identified by the codes 540E
and 1000E. Tractor manufacturers sum up the advantages that
these devices provide, which are also identified by the text "ECO",
as follows:
- Lower fuel consumption
- Generated power equal to 85% of maximum power (adequate
for a planting unit)
- Max. coupling effect when working (permitting unevenness in
the soil to be got round)
- Lower tractor engine running for the same number of power
take off revs (less engine fatigue and less noise).
Gaspardo Seminatrici S.p.A. strongly recommends that those
using the planting unit should respect these indications:

The tensioning and good condition of the belt are therefore of
vital importance to ensure the good for the good operation of the
aspirator and, hence, the success of the sowing.
The belt is correctly tensioned when it does not yield under the
pressure of a hand.
Belt checking procedure:
- Remove the protective housing;
- Loosen the screws (A Fig. 22);
- Loosen the nut (B Fig. 22);
- If worn, replace the belt;
- Tension the belt by tightening the screws (C Fig. 22);
- Tighten the bolts loosened before and close the casing.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
3.5.2 OLEO-DYNAMIC BLOWER DRIVE
Safety
The equipment is suitable only for the use indicated. Any use
other than that described in these instructions can cause
damage to the machine and constitute a serious danger to the
user.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate
maintenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to observe
scrupulously what is described in order to prevent any
inconveniences that could prejudicate proper operation and
duration. It is just as important to keep to what is described in
this booklet since the Manufacturer declines all responsibility
due to negligence and non-observance of these rules.
At any rate the Manufacturer is available to assure immediate
and accurate technical assistance and all that may be necessary
for the improved operation and better performance of the
equipment.
The oleo-dynamic blower drive may be used, maintained and
repaired only by personnel with complete knowledge of the
apparatus in question and of the relative dangers. Check the
correct connection of the quick-couplings; failure to do so could
result in damage to the system. Disconnect the oleo-dynamic
unions only after having first depressurized them.
High-pressure oil leaks can cause serious skin injuries with the
risk of infection. In such cases seek immediate medical attention.
It follows that oleo-dynamic components should not under any
circumstances be installed in the tractor cabin. All the component
parts of the pressurised system should be carefully installed in
order to avoid damage during the use of the machinery.
There are two types of oleo-dynamic system for the blower drive:
a) dependent system: connected to the tractor's system.
b) independent system: a system with a self-contained oleo-
dynamic system.
