Page 18: Mounted Machines
Ensure hose is depressurised before coupling/uncoupling. 3.2.1 Mounted Machines Due to the physical nature and weight distribution of some Sumo machines a category three enclosed ball top link is highly recommended. Due to the exaggerated loads experienced during normal working conditions, the top link pin is considered as a consumable part and should be checked for wear on a regular basis. -
Page 19: Trailed Machines
3.2.2 Trailed Machines DD & DTS Trailed machines only come with a rigid design. Therefore, all manipulation of the machine height and parallelism is done via the axle and tractor positions. Steps: • Slowly back tractor up to machine. • Release pick up hitch in a low position, extend outwards if required. - Page 20 Tractor must be fully immobilized with the key removed from the ignition. Obey all other relevant safety practices outlined within this manual, including but not exclusive to, the machine in general, hydraulics and electrics, and environmental awareness. Locate machine on the provided stands, or parking elements (see parking section of this manual), Depressurise all hydraulics before disconnection, and ensure all electrics are detached and safely tied back.

& loading. Due to the length and design of many Sumo machines, the transportation wheels are often to the rearmost of the machine meaning it will cut corners. Care must be taken to ensure a wide swing and reasonable turning arc is maintained to avoid any fouling of other vehicles or road markings/obstacles. -
Page 22: Transport Guidelines & Route Planning
It is the sole responsibility of the operator to ensure they comply with all local road laws and Sumo accepts no liability for negligence or carelessness. - Page 23 Fixed Stands Fixed Stands generally consist of a welded bracket, a bolted joint and a pin, offering two positions: In Work and Retracted. Simply remove pin, rotate the bracket until in retracted or in work position and re-insert pin. Pins must always be secured with an additional lynch pin.

Familiarise yourself with both the machine and this manual and follow its instructions. Sumo will accept no liability for any persons trained/untrained, using the machines inappropriately. -
Page 27: Pressurised System
Accumulators Sumo hydraulic systems use high pressure accumulators, which can present a danger if tampered with or misused. This includes drilling, welding or any other process that could compromise the safety of the accumulator. It is expressly forbidden for an operator, or any third party to dismantle or adjust the accumulator in any way. -
Page 28: Adjustments
To adjust the lid, loosen the locking nuts (highlighted in the cross section) on the underside threaded pivots. uppermost nut then can be adjusted up or down to achieve the appropriate seal required for the system to work properly. It is important tighten locking nuts... -
Page 29: Hydraulic Coulter Positioning
The default working pressure is 30bar for DTS machines & 50bar for DD machines. This pressure will need to be adjusted according to local conditions. -
Page 30: Dts Coulter Overview
Pressure Correct Weight spread between wheels and coulters with a working pressure between: (DTS = 5 and 35 bar) (DD = 25 and 70 bar) DD Machines Only: In addition to the pressure adjustment, further adjustment is available to the coulters in terms of a shim levelling feature. The position of the drawbar coupling can influence the behaviour of the coulters and at worst could result in unbalance coulter rows e.g. - Page 31 Leading Disc The leading disc depth can be adjusted by removing the bolts and rotating the unit to the desired position, to make the working action more or less aggressive. Auto-Reset Leg Depth Caution! Check leg is always deeper than the coulter. Full Retracted Lowest Position 25mm leg depth pin fitted below the leg arm as a depth stop.

Page 32: Dd Coulter Overview
Seed Depth The seeding depth is altered by removing a 20mm pin and lifting or lowering the coulter. For bean drilling a 1” seed boot can be fitted by removing roll pin. Seed Hose Outlet 5’’ Seed Boot as Standard (For options see Section 7.1.) 5.2.5 DD Coulter Overview... - Page 33 Gauge Wheel Pin The coulter gauge wheel prevents furrow “side wall burst” as well as controlling the seed sowing depth. To adjust position simply remove pin raise or lower wheel with handle, and re-insert pin. Fine tuning can then be achieved by altering the hydraulic pressure.

Page 35: Fan System
5.2.6 Fan System If it is found that the fan speed cannot be adjusted finely enough due to the increment being too large on the tractor spool, there is a needle value located at the bulk head end of the hydraulic pipe that feeds the fan. -
Page 36: Calibration System
Under the toolbox at the front of all trailed machines is a flow control valve tap which controls the flow to the main lift rams and also the seeding shut-off ram. The shut-off ram has a magnet attached to one end that starts and stops seed dispensing based on its proximity to the parent sensor. - Page 37 Caution! Always Prime the ORGA Metering Unit before Calibration Press the Prime button fastened to the toolbox once. Then Press the button again at the point where seed flows evenly from the outlet. Empty contents of Calibration bag back into the hopper, Press ESC on Control Box, then proceed to step 4.

Page 38: Orga Metering System
The second redundant metering unit can be shut off using the hopper slide inserted above the metering unit. 6m DTS’s and over also have the half width shut-off (HWSO) facility. This adds a further Orga metering unit to each product hopper, depending on drill specification, and therefore there can be up to four metering units in total per drill. - Page 39 (approximately half) the seed rate for very low seed rates e.g. Oilseed Rape, Grass or Linseed. The inserts also act as a guide to align the Sumo ORGA. The Short Insert has no effect on seed rates and purely aligns the end of the Orga flighting.

Page 42: Maintenance & Storage Program Page
For torque values and tyre pressures, see the relative Machine Manual & Parts Book. Some Sumo parts are considered to be wearable due to the nature of their design and use. For best results, check routinely and replace as required. This will help prevent loss/destruction of implements during work. -
Page 43: Lubrication & Greasing
On The DTS, the tungsten carbide tiles are fitted to prolong the operational life of the cast components. However, these should be routinely monitored in terms of wear. -
Page 44: Storage
Storage It is generally advised to store Sumo machines in their folded positions to minimise the exposure of unpainted rams, and lessen the impact on tools/wearable components. Follow all parking guidance given within this manual. Wherever possible, try to find a sheltered environment. If not possible cover with tarpaulin. This will better protect the machine and slow the degradation of paint and materials, as well as prolonging the effectiveness of greased areas. -
Page 45: Optional Extras/Attachments Page
Tramlines The Sumo DTS is unique in that the drill does not have any tramline markers as such; the coulters that are blocked off are lifted during a tramlining bout. This system works by the way of a 3-way solenoid diverter, and the hydraulic feed form the bout markers. -
