5. Attach the calibration test crank (3) to the calibration test shaft and turn it until an even
ow of fertiliser or seed comes out of all feeders. Empty the calibration trays of the small
seed hopper.
6. Rotate the shaft counterclockwise by 1 round per second using the calibration test crank.
An area of 100 m² is obtained by turning the crank 22 rounds on the FX300 and
16.5 rounds on the FX400.
7. Pull out the calibration trays of the small seed hopper and weigh the quantities they now
contain.
The calibration test quantity obtained corresponds to the area of 100 m², so the
quantities for a hectare will be hundredfold.
If the weighing result does not match the desired quantity, adjust the length of
the roller in accordance with section 6.6.10. Adjusting the width of the small seed
feeder roller.
8. Repeat the calibration test Make sure that the result is sufficiently close to the target
