SPREADING RATE
The amount of the product spread by the RoyalFlow is defi ned by the opening
of the fl ow valve, based on the position of the C dosing scale in C (fi g. 9).
The D Lever (fi g. 8) opens and closes the fl ow valve.
The C Scale defi nes how much the valve opens to adjust the fl ow.
The opening of the valve depends on 3 factors :
· Spreading rate (see the following calculation).
· Tractor speed (defi ned based on the local terrain conditions).
· Operating width (varies according to the type, specifi c weight, and the gra-
nulation of the material being spread).
The pendulum machines spread in a trapezoidal pattern, different from disc Fer-
tilizers that spread in a triangular pattern, and require a smaller overlying space,
around 1/3 of the disc operating width.

INITIAL OPERATION
Before operating the machine carefully check the following:
•
Check if there are no objects or tools inside the machine.
•
Check if there are no people or animals near the machine.
After the RoyalFlow is properly coupled and lubricated, operate it for a few minutes
idling. Turn on the power take-off and increase the speed little by little until the
acceleration reaches 540 RPM.
Look at the tractor instrument panel, the marking corresponding to 540 RPM
in the power take-off is achieved inn most tractors by a RPM between 1900
and 2100 RPM on the tachometer.
