Flow rate adjustment
The spreading rate takes the flow rate into account;
If the flow rate is reduced, the spreading rate is proportionally reduced;
When the maximum spreading speed is reached and the spreading rate is too
high for the needs and as per the local regulations, flow rate must be reduced;
To adjust the flow rate, proceed with the steps below. If the first adjustment step
is insufficient to obtain the desired spreading rate, proceed with the second
adjustment step and so on.
11.22.1 Spreader with PTO
1. reduce the speed of the PTO;
2. adjust the flow regulator;
3. add a restriction plate in the housing;
4. add a restrictor in the directional valve;
5. finally, insert restrictors in the deflectors.
Step 1: PTO
Start by reducing the PTO speed to decrease the impeller revolution therefore
limiting the amount of manure inside the spreading pipe.
