Risk of injury due to chemicals
Discharged fertiliser may cause injuries to eyes and nasal mucous
membrane.
 Wear safety goggles during the calibration test.

liser broadcaster before the calibration test.
NOTICE
Select the values for the calibration test for the maximum possible spreading
rate. The greater the application rate the greater the precision of the measure-
ment.
