6.4 Setting application rates on the
MDS 55 M / MDS 65 M / MDS 85 M / 735 M / MDS 935 M
A potential crushing and amputation hazard exists when carrying out
adjustments or other work on the fertiliser spreader.
Rotating parts (e.g. spreading discs, pto shaft) and remote controlled machine
elements (e.g. adjusting lever, metering slides) can cause serious injuries.
•
Before carrying out adjustments or other general work such as maintenance
or cleaning, disengage the pto drive, stop engine and remove the ignition
key.
•
Wait until the rotating parts have come to a standstill before approaching
the machine.
Application rates are adjusted by means of an adjusting lever stop (1) on a large
scale segment, which is extremely easy and positive to use.
An application rate with its corresponding position on the scale segment is se-
lected from the calibration charts, according to the desired forward speed. The
stop on the segment is positioned so that its edge is aligned to the position se-
lected. (Marked edge (2) aligned to the selected position.)
The stop adjustment of one hole position corresponds to two scale segment po-
sitions. If only a single segment position adjustment is needed, this can be a-
chieved by turning the handle (3) over the stop and slotting it into the offset ho-
les (see photos 1 and 2).
Due to the proportional scale segmentation, not every value can be selected.
Select the nearest higher or lower selectable position. As the scale segmenta-
tions are so small, application rate variations will be minimal.

Closing the shut-off valves (only valid for single acting metering slide
control)
Close the shut-off valves before all transport journeys and before parking or
disconnecting the unit, as most valves are not entirely oil tight, thus allowing the
spring tension of the hydraulic metering control to overcome oil pressure, resul-
ting in the metering slides opening and fertiliser escaping from the hopper.
