7.3 Contact point adjustment
Contact point adjustment enables the accuracy of distribution to be
optimally regulated. With contact point adjustment, the two scattering
cones of the twin-disc spreader can be arranged such that the
overlap of the two cones is optimal.
A kind of pivotable hopper is mounted to each of the two discharge
openings in the spreading tank, through which the stream of scatter
material flows onto the spreader disc. A lever is used to adjust this
discharge opening, which changes the point at which the grain hits
the spreader disc.
TIP: Make sure that the contact point for both spreader
discs is always set symmetrically, i.e. the position on the
left and the right scales must be set the same. The scale
positions are engraved directly into the frame of the
spreader.
If the contact point adjustment lever is fixed in the position
+45 (all the way back), then the scatter cone is directed
outwards (= small overlap of the scatter cones). The
further forwards the lever is set, towards position -45, the
further the contact point moves back and the scatter cone
moves towards the centre (= larger overlap of the scatter cones).
The contact point adjustment setting is also dependent upon the seed in question.
7.4 Spread width
The spread width depends on the density and shape of the seed and the spreader
disc speed. The seed spreader is designed to spread seed, e.g. slug pellets, evenly
over an area of 30 m. For this to be successful, the battery and generator must be in
good condition. Please refer to the setting charts under item 8 for the precise settings
for sowing rate, working width, etc.
We recommend attaching the spreader at least 1 m above the ground to enable an
optimal spreading density.
Note: If the ZS 200 M3 is fitted to machines with a small working width, and the seed
is to be scattered directly into/in front of the roller, the scatter device can even be
angled down slightly. However, please note that the tank only empties completely if it
is level!
