7.7 Using the calibration charts
7.7.1 Information on the calibration chart
The values in the spreading charts have been determined on the solid fertiliser
broadcaster test installation.
The fertilisers used have been procured from fertiliser manufacturers or from stor-
age depots. Experience shows that your spreading materials - even with identical
specifications - may have different spreading properties because of storage,
transport and many other reasons.
This means that the solid fertiliser spreading settings specified in the fertiliser
charts may result in a different spreading amount and a poorer fertiliser distribu-
tion.
Therefore observe the following instructions:
Check the working width of the fertiliser distribution with a practice test kit (op-
tion).
Use only fertilisers listed in the spreading calibration charts.
Please contact us if you do not find a particular fertiliser type mentioned in the
calibration charts.
Follow the settings exactly. Even a slightly incorrect setting may adversely af-
fect the spreading pattern.
When using urea note particularly the following:
Because of fertiliser imports, urea is available in widely varying qualities and
particle sizes. This may make different spreader settings necessary.
Urea is more sensitive to wind and absorbs more moisture than other fertilis-
ers.
7.7.2 Settings as per calibration chart
Depending on fertiliser type, working width, application rate, ground speed and
fertilisation method, the operator determines the hopper mounting height, fertilis-
er drop point, metering slide adjustment, and PTO speed for optimum spreading
from the
calibration chart .
NOTICE
The operator is responsible for making the correct settings according to the fer-
tiliser in use.
We point out specifically that we do not accept any liability for damage resulting
from incorrect spreader settings.
