Service & Warranty Seed Drilling Only seed drill conversions supplied or recommended by T.J. Frazier Ltd. should be fitted to the PHANTOM. Incorrectly fitted drill units will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty, may be hazardous to the operator and may seriously reduce the life of the machine or some of its major components. The only drills currently suitable for fitting to the PHANTOM are those of the pneumatic type with lightweight, Suffolk coulter toolbars up to a maximum width of 4 metres. Make sure you follow the safety, operating and maintenance instructions given by the respective drill manufacturer. Operation When drilling with the PHANTOM, a PTO speed of 520 rpm is normally more than adequate to operate this type of airseeder. Whilst drilling the engine speed should not exceed 3200 rpm and ideally should be kept below 3000 rpm. Wheel track eradicators should be set as shallow as possible to keep the draft load on the PHANTOM to a minimum and following harrows should only be fitted to 3m units.
Service & Warranty. The PHANTOM carries a 12 month / 500 hour warranty on defective parts and workmanship. It does not cover faults caused by incorrect use and servicing or faults caused by fertiliser or chemical corrosion. All servicing should be carried out as per this instruction manual during the warranty period. The first service is normally carried out by the customer after the first fifty hours running. If any faults are apparent on delivery, at this first service or during the warranty period we would be grateful if you would notify us as soon as possible even if the fault is rectified by yourselves. We have found many people repair straight-forward faults themselves without telling us, however our policy is one of continual improvement and with your co-operation together with any suggestions and ideas we shall continue to improve the machine to our mutual advantage. If any problems occur with the machine please contact your supplier, without delay, with whom you can discuss the best way to deal with the problem to avoid unnecessary delays. If a repair is carried out by yourselves or by an outside engineer to save time, and you wish to claim costs under warranty, we must be notified first or the claim will not be accepted under any circumstances. Unauthorised repairs may affect or even invalidate any remaining warranty. Any parts replaced must be returned to us for assessment. If our service engineers are called out at any time , to work on the machine or if the machine has to be returned to our works for repair, it must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all chemical and fertiliser residues to enable the work to be carried out safely and effectively. If the machine is not clean , we reserve the right to either refuse to carry out the work or to charge for cleaning.
