Instructions for filling the solid fertiliser broadcaster:

Close the metering slide and if necessary, also the ball cocks
(versions K + R).

Fill up the solid fertiliser broadcaster only when it is mounted on the tractor.
Make sure that the tractor is standing on flat, firm ground.

Secure the tractor to prevent movement. Set handbrake.

Shut off the engine of the tractor. Remove the ignition key.

For filling levels above 1.25 m solid fertiliser broadcaster, use special equip-
ment e.g. front loader or screw conveyor to fill the fertiliser.

Fill the solid fertiliser broadcaster no higher than the top edge. Check the fill
level, e.g. through the view window in the hopper (depending on model).
Fill level scale
A fill level scale is installed in the hopper to monitor the starting weight.
The scale can be used to estimate how long spreading can continue before the
hopper must be refilled.
The fill level can be checked through two inspection windows in the side of the
hopper.
