If the form of the spreading pattern is not the same on the left and on
the right and the difference in the application rate is more than 3% it
could be caused by a difference in position of the discharge point with
regards to the spreading disc between the left and right sides. The
distance between the inside of the rope and the opening of the
discharge bushing must be 109 mm/4.91 in.
Place the machine on the ground or on firm supports on a firm, flat
ground.
