6. Start the tractor. Set the PTO speed as specified in the calibration chart.
7. Open (from the tractor seat) the left metering slide for the previously specified
calibration test time. Close the metering slide after this time.
8. Calculate the weight of the fertiliser (include the unladen weight of the catch
tray).
9. Compare spread application rate with nominal application rate.

Actual output volume = nominal output volume: output rate is set correctly.
End calibration test.
 Actual output volume < nominal output volume: set output rate stop to a
higher position and repeat test.

Actual output volume > nominal output volume: set output rate stop to a
lower position and repeat test.

WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating machine components
Contact with rotating machine components (universal drive shaft,
hubs) may cause bruises, abrasions and crush injuries. Body parts
or objects may be caught and pulled in.
 When the machine is running keep clear of the rotating
hubs.
 If the drive shaft is rotating, always engage the metering
slide from the tractor cab only.
 Direct all persons out of the danger zone of the solid ferti-
liser broadcaster before the calibration test
5. Place the collecting contai-
ner under the left outlet.

NOTICE
You can use the percentage scale to reset the position of the output rate stop.
For example, if the spread test weight is down by 10%, the output rate stop is
set at a 10% higher position (e.g. from 150 to 165).
