WARNING
Risk of injury due to chemicals
Discharged fertiliser may cause injuries to eyes and nasal mucous
membrane.

Wear safety goggles during the calibration test.
 Direct all persons out of the danger zone of the spreader
before running the calibration test.
NOTICE
Select the calibration test time to obtain the maximum possible spreading quan-
tity. The greater the amount, the higher the accuracy of the measurement (e.g.
nominal spreading quantity: 10 kg/min, calibration test time: 3 min., calibrated
volume of spreading material: 30 kg).
