Do the following to charge the spreader body with the fertiliser from the big bags handled by
the loader arm:
-
Prepare the big bag for loading;
-
Position the tractor at a spot that facilitates hooking up the load;
-
Having coupled the fertiliser spreader, approach as close to the big bag as possible with
the tractor/loader/spreader unit;
-
Operate the control levers to move the hook as close to the big bag sling as possible;
-
Next, lower the arm until its support frame bottom part rests firmly on the ground;
-
Make sure that the unit (tractor/loader/spreader) is stable;
-
Turn off the tractor and remove the ignition key;
-
Approach the big bag and hook it up to the arm;
-
Check that the bag is properly hooked and close the hook safety catch;
-
Start the tractor and operate the DCV levers to lift the big bag over the spreader hopper;
-
Use the special tool to open the big bag and fill the hopper;
-
Do not charge more fertiliser that the hopper capacity listed in the technical characteristics
issued by the spreader's manufacturer. Check for the correct weight of the fertiliser (in
the sowing tables) to avoid overloading the tank.
Warning!
No bystanders are allowed within the work zone of the machine
when loading with the big bag fertiliser suspended loader.
Warning!
Do not use any unauthorised components to extend the sling
when hooking up the big bags.
Warning!
Exceeding the permitted load capacity may damage the machine
and cause work accidents.
