Use of the machine
When using the machine, observe the information in the following
sections:
•
"Warning symbols and other labels on the machine" from page
16 and
•
"Safety information for the operator", on page 21 ff.
Observing this information is important for your safety.
WARNING
Danger of catching or entanglement and drawing in or entrap-
ment of loose clothing by moving elements (rotating spreading
discs)!
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. Tight clothing reduces the risk of
unintentional catching or entanglement and drawing in or entrapment
by moving elements.
Some products, such as Excello granulate and magnesium sulphate,
cause increased wear to the spreading vanes (optional spreading
vanes with enhanced wear resistance are available).
When spreading mixed fertilisers, note the following:
•
Each variety may have different flight characteristics.
•
The individual varieties may separate.
The recommended settings specified for lateral distribution pertain
solely to weight distribution, not to nutrient distribution.
•
For new machines, after 3-4 full hopper loads, check that the
screws are tight and retighten if necessary.
•
Use only fertiliser with the proper grain size, of the kinds listed in
the setting chart. If the type of fertiliser is not known exactly,
check the working width using the mobile fertiliser test rig.
•
The technical condition of the spreading vanes, including their
swivel vanes, is essential for uniform lateral distribution of the
fertiliser on the field (i.e. forming strips).
•
After ever use, remove any fertiliser clinging to the spreading
vanes.
