A.3 Filling up the solid fertiliser broadcaster
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, use special equipment e.g. front loader or
screw conveyor to fill the solid fertiliser broadcaster.

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).

ning.
