Fine application
All three dosing openings normally open uniformly with the dosing
setting you set. With a low application rate and/or a low driving speed
the dosing openings are only opened a slight bit so that very little
fertiliser would stream through the dosing openings of the spreader.
This could easily cause blockage, which would lead to a bad
spreading pattern and possible damage the crops.
We therefore advise that you make use of the fine application kit if the
flowrate is
less than 45 lbs/min
.
Close 2 of the 3 dosing openings to prevent blockages. The remaining
opening will be further opened as the flowrate with the constant
flowrate would be three times as much.
In order to close 2 of the 3 dosing openings, the fine application kit is
fitted in place of the agitator.
Adjusting dosing for fine
application via the website
When you apply the fine application kit you must use the dosing
setting of a 3 times higher flowrate.
Adjust the dosing with
•
the online spreading chart
Here you have the option of fine/ non-fine application.
The chart below indicates under the heading “settings” that fine
application is applied. The shown dosing setting has then already
been converted.
Install the fine application kit.
