8.1
Setting the mounting height
Mounting height of the laden spreader 75 cm
Measured on the spreading disc front side
(a = 75) and on the back (b = 75) always from
the ground surface.
Fig. 21
Warning!
Observe the maximum PTO shaft
angling!
At tractors with a very low posi-
tioned universal joint shaft the
spreader only allows lifting up to a
mounting height of 58 cm.
8.2
Setting the spread rate
The shutter position depends on:
•
The kind of spreading material (sand, salt or mixture) as well as its
characteristics (granular, coarse/fine, moist, dry).
•
The desired spreading width [m].
•
The desired operational speed [km/h].
•
The desired spread rate [g/m²].
Moving the shutter slide to the next higher figure on the scale
means:
•
Bigger opening diameter of the outlet opening.
•
Increased spread rate.
The spread rate setting is carried according to experience values or
the indications given in the setting chart.
Hint!
As the spreading properties of the spreading materials are sub-
ject to variation (e.g. moist or dry) we recommend that you de-
termine the desired shutter position for the desired spread rate
by carrying out a spread rate check.
Procedure of spread rate setting:
1. Release the setting lever (Fig. 23/1).
2. Set the shutter stop (Fig. 23/2) in such a
way that the reading edge (Fig. 23/3) is in
alignment with the desired value on the
scale.
3. Firmly retighten the setting lever.
