Start spreading
To begin spreading, proceed as follows:
Close all the doors and windows in the cabin.
Drive the tractor to the first tramline, depending on the driving pat-
tern required, which may be recognised by the marker in place.
See paragraph »Spreading on field« on page 102.
Switch the control box on.
Without GEOCONTROL, select and activate a site number in the
field registration,
Switch on the PTO shaft and set the correct spreading disc rpm as
reported in the spreading chart.
I
NDICATION
Do not allow the spreading disc to run for longer than is necessary
while the dosing units are closed. This will prevent the agitator from
grinding the fertiliser.
Start driving and open the dosing units at the same time by press-
ing the start key.

NDICATION
.
The rpm of the tractor engine (therefore also of the PTO shaft) must
remain constant while spreading (with regards to distributing fertiliser
along the width).
The driving speed can only be adjusted by selecting another
speed!
Connect headland with the
GEOCONTROL function
Based on the offset set in the 'TC Implement Settings' screen, the
GEOCONTROL will switch the spreading sections off by itself when
passing the headland limit. This happens if the spreading pattern over-
laps completely and you run up the headland.
Overlap on the headland
Depending on the set overlap percentage, the connection on the
headland and gores will more or less overlap.
The usual setting is 50%.
Refer to the 'Overlap settings' in the GEOCONTROL manual for
the overlap setting.
Overlap on the field boundary
Even the extent of overlap of the field boundary created can be sepa-
rately set in the GEOCONTROL manual.
T
IP
Set the overlap on the field boundary to 0 if you do not wish to spread
over the field boundary.
