2.5 Fitting and removing the spreading discs
Depending on the fertilizer type and working width, different spreading discs can be
used. Spreading disc type is listed in the spreading charts. To simplify changing the
spreading discs it is recommended to slide the movable gearbox to the rear and lock
in place (see Photo 1). Using a screwdriver or
∅
8 mm round bar, loosen the syn-
thetic disc hub nuts (Photo 1, No. 1) and remove spreading discs.
Only fit and remove spreading discs when the PTO and tractor engine
are switched off and the ignition key has been removed.
Spreading discs are fast moving parts, therefore carry out any work with
great care and attention.
Replace any defective synthetic disc hub nuts (threads, splits, fractures)
immediately.

Note: When fitting the spreading discs on to the disc hub, make sure not to invert
the right-hand spreading disc (R) with the left-hand spreading disc (L)!
The right-hand disc (R) and left-hand disc (L) must be placed carefully over their
corresponding drive hubs when viewing in the direction of travel.
Centre the spreading disc on to the disc hub, making sure it is lying correctly.
Discs and vanes are indicated with (R) or (L).
