Fine Tune Setting
The Fine Tune Setting adjusts the belt speed to compensate for how different types of
product flow through the spreader’s door. This setting can be adjusted if the operator
finds the machine is spreading too heavy or too light. The fine tune setting can be
accessed in the Main Menu, by pressing and holding the button and using the
button to scroll to Option 8: Fine Tune.
Press button to enter the Fine Tune Menu.
Fine Tune setting can also be accessed in the main standby screen by pressing and
holding
If loaded product weight and coverage area are known, fine tune settings can be more
accurately adjusted.
For example, if a bin load is 6000kg and is to be spread at 300kg/Ha, it should cover
20Ha. If the bin empties before the 20Ha, the machine is spreading too heavy and the
fine tune setting should be decreased. If there is still product left in the bin after covering
20Ha, the machine is spreading too light and the fine tune setting should be increased.
The amount of fine tune adjustment required depends on the amount of product left in
the bin after spreading known area (light) or known area left to spread once bin has
emptied (heavy). If the machine is spreading 10% too heavy or too light, he fine tune
setting should be adjusted by 10%.
