Operation
Page 18
Fill the spreader no higher than the edge of the box spreader or the volume expansion
add-on sections.
Note!
Do not exceed the maximum rated load. If the rated load is exceeded this
will void the warranty. Different specific weights occur depending on the
status of the spread material (wet or dry).

Inspections before putting into operation
•
Are all safety devices mounted on the spreader and in working order?
•
Is the safety grille screwed tight in the container and undamaged?
•
Is there no one in the danger area?
•
Is the universal shaft joint guard undamaged?
•
Is the chain housing closed?
5.4
Setting the spread quantity
The spread quantity can be set manually, electrically or hydraulically, depending on the
selected option. See section 4.5 - 4.7
5.5
Spread density
The spread density g/m² depends on the following factors:
•
Adjustment of the spread rate regulator
•
Vehicle speed
•
PTO shaft speed or flow rate of the hydraulic oil
•
Spread material (density, grain)
•
Condition of the spread material (dry, moist)
Proceed as follows to calculate the spread quantity per minute at known driving speed,
spread width and desired spread density:
Vehicle speed
v
[km/h]
Spread width
w
[m]
Desired spread density
D
[g/m²]
Spread material quantity / minute
S
[kg/min]
Calculation formula:
S = D*w*v/60
To achieve the desired quantity (spread quantity per minute) it is absolutely necessary to
conduct a spread test. See section 5.6
