Metering slide adjustment

Check that the metering slides open evenly before every working season and 
also during the season, if necessary.

Requirements:

The mechanics must be freely movable to check the metering slide setting.

Actuator is disengaged.

Running the test (example on left side of spreader):

2.

Push the metering slide against the pin.

The pointer must point to  85 on the metering slide scale. If position is 
not correct, the scale must be adjusted.

WARNING

Danger of crushing and shearing!

Power-operated components (adjusting lever, metering slide) 
may crush and shear when working on them.

Pay attention to the shear points of the metering outlet and 
slides during all adjustment work.

Turn off tractor. Remove the ignition key.

Do not operate hydraulic slide actuators during adjust-
ment work.

1.

Take a lower link pin 

d = 28 

mm

 and insert it centrally 

into the outlet.
