Troubleshooting
161
Great amounts
of dust while
spreading Average quality fertiliser (too soft, broken,
mixed types) or incorrect storage Contact your supplier.
Update the storage area.
Spread with smaller working widths as far
as possible 59,
61,
66
Rpm on the spreading discs too high Check the PTO shaft speed and the cou-
pling shaft mounting point 47,
67
agitator grinds. Dosing units closed for too
long with the PTO shaft running Switch the PTO shaft off after closing the
dosing units.
Check the agitator for damage
Right agitator grinds Spreading disc not disconnected while
border spreading with the border spread-
ing plate 111
Spreading
tracks visible
among the
crops Average quality fertiliser. 80% of the gran-
ules with a diameter between 2.0 - 4.75
mm Determine the distribution and spread
with small working widths if possible 61,
66
Blend of fertiliser types used. A blend can
become unmixed again or types of fertil-
iser could contain varying spreading qual-
ities Check the type, pattern and distribution.
Spread with smaller working widths as far
as possible 59,
61
New type of fertiliser spread with the
same settings as the previous type.
Quality varies greatly between types. Determine the characteristics of the fertil-
iser, look for the relevant spreading chart
and set the spreader again 59,
64
Use of wrong spreading chart Determine the characteristics of the fertil-
iser and select the correct spreading chart 59,
62

ditions: high levels of humidity, rain, heat
or high wind speeds (> 5 m/sec) Only work under good weather conditions
Incorrect overlapping of the spreading
pattern Always set the driving tracks before
spreading 102
Horizontal/vertical settings of the machine
not correct Check if the machine is standing level
horizontally and vertically, unless the
spreading chart indicates otherwise 55, ,
99
Spreader not set to the correct height Check and set to the correct working
height (75 cm above the crops or soil) and
inclination 99
Working width incorrect Check the discharge point letter and the
PTO shaft RPM 67,
67
Worn or missing vanes Check the vanes 66
Tyre pressure on the left and right not the
same Check the tyre pressure
The setting mechanism of the discharge
