Proceed as follows to perform the calibration test:
1.
Remove the hoses and/or the spreading plate by opening the quick fasteners.
2.
For the calibration test, use the supplied sack
or a different hopper that can be attached to
the metering unit to collect the seed.
3.
Using the formula shown under Point 6.10,
calculate the desired spread rate per minute.
4.
A precise description of the calibration test can
be found in the operating manual of the
respective control box.
5.
After beginning operation, you should verify the
spreading on the field. In particular, check the
forward speed, the spread rate, the placement
depth and distribution of the seed.
CAUTION:
for safety-related reasons, the plug in the motor supply line on the MDS
must be disconnected as soon as the spreading plate unit is folded down.
